This bit is a real cracker
" Further, the software version of the AI Oracle is able to assess the entire `job' received by the mining pool and its allowed variants (also called the meta-header), rather than individually assessing single bits of various key regions of the header"
So what I think Gardin is saying here, because the software cannot possibly match the speed of the ASIC, the entire header and all possible NONCE variations are assessed in one go. The Oracle then tells the ASIC which NONCEs to hash.
Truly unbelievable, without performing any assessment of the billions of NONCEs the Oracle can predict quality hashes. Since all legitimate NONCEs are the same for every block then the Oracle looks just at the block information and makes a remarkable and in the reat of the world's eyes unbelievable prediction.
Consider this with an 8 byte extra NONCE i.e. a legitimate NONCE variation, there are 2^96 possible NONCEs, at 1 TH/s hashing rate it would take 2510 years to compute all hashes.
So a tiny logic circuit i.e. 1 to 4 % of a single double hash circuit, selects all the quality hashes from 2^96 possibilities. How many 'quality hashes will there be" ?
