Given that salts have to go on the end, I would be legitimately impressed if someone managed to take advantage of them in that way. You’d need to have a whole function name and output as the output of another function.

Given some of the Blobber functions we have, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility.

I have another concern, that there’s nothing in the Thesis rule that strictly prohibits a Thesis containing text that is neither part of their thesis nor part of their salt - but that’s another issue.

what happens if someone’s salt is added to the ruleset? does their thesis become invalid?

Good question from Clucky, apart from which I’m FOR this ^^

I have a vested interest in this not passing so

If anyone actually does try abusing this, I imagine we’d need to hold them to a higher standard of proof of their thesis being unchanged. After all, just because two theses hold the same hash, it doesn’t mean you have two theses, or that they’re in a quantum state. You have the one you picked.

I legitimately can’t think of any salt related scams outside of that scenario either.

Also this wording stops you from having the letter a in a salt which is kinda weird. If this passes, I don’t want to have to go and reset my thesis.

I would like to idle.
