But, in order to do so, he would also have to admit that it was broken.

Notice how he steadfastly refuses to even admit that all of his prior 
schemes were also broken, some faster than others.  Once he could no 
longer carry on asserting an obviously incorrect "unbreakable" 
viewpoint, they were each dropped like a hot potato and he skulked away 
for a few months before returning with yet another "new thing" to which 
he could then again incorrectly claim "unbreakable".

Notice that for version X-1 (the one just prior to this one) that he 
did post challenges, and then, within but a few hours, posted the 
solution?  Why do you think this was?  It was so he could cut off the 
publication of a break by arguing that "he supplied the solution, so 
you don't really have a break" and maintain his bull-headed belief that 
his worthless algorithms are "unbreakable".

AOB is not hear for learning.  He is only her to pontificate about how 
great his worthless algorithms are in his own mind.

Yes, this would be the normal process for normal people.

But remember, this is the AOB we have posting here:

    There are millions of people out there who can write great Ada -
    nobody apart from me can write great cryptography.

From our viewpoint we have only pontifications of a nut-case.  So yes, 
from our viewpoint it is truly vaporware right now.

> I mean, he does have ADA code right?

All we know at this time is he had ADA code for version X-1.  We've 
seen nothing but pontifications on this slightly new variant.  
Therefore, vaporware from our viewpoint until shown otherwise.

An ADA to JS transpiler is unrelated to the question of whether AOB has 
Ada code for this new variant.
