As part of the hard-fork proposed in the HK agreement(1) we'd like to make =
the
patented AsicBoost optimisation useless, and hopefully make further similar
optimizations useless as well.

What's the best way to do this? Ideally this would be SPV compatible, but i=
f it
requires changes from SPV clients that's ok too. Also the fix this should be
compatible with existing mining hardware.
