Vitalik Buterin's website — Obfuscation (Part II): Diamond iO$0.004 · EV 95%

Vitalik Buterin's website is the exact source for 'Obfuscation (Part II): Diamond iO' and directly addresses all sub-claims: Solidity obfuscation, Diamond iO technique, security/efficiency evaluation. Price is $0.004, within budget, and it's the primary source. Historical citation rate is 0% but that's due to lack of prior reads on this subject—topic match is perfect.

Re-evaluate

All gathered sources are unrelated to the document 'Obfuscation (Part II): Diamond iO' or Ethereum obfuscation generally. The skipped sources also do not appear to address Diamond iO, Solidity, or obfuscation, so purchasing them would not fill the coverage gap. Staying within budget, no additional sources are recommended.
