The paper is due to Michael Colavita and Garrett Tanzer, both of Harvard University. It appears to be original research performed independently of the paper by Heilman et al. Big thanks to @cybergibbons for bringing this to my attention.
The reddit thread on the #IOTA subreddit has only a handful of comments at the moment, but they are hilarious to read. reddit.com/r/Iota/comment…
