It looks like you're not afraid of publicly talking about your discovery. For that reason, I recommend going to the papers you read with previous solutions and send everyone an email explaining what you discovered (the ones who are alive). Academics are very aproachable if they know what they're doing (AKA not famous).
If they respond to you, ask them if they would be willing to review your draft. Write a draft of a whitepaper in the format of abstract, content, conclusion and send it to them attached. Only if they agree to review to you, if they claim that it's their discovery you have paper trail to prove otherwise and they'll lose their reputation, they won't do that. Try to get feedback of as many people you can, trying to prove your discovery have some flaws or that it was already discovered by somebody else.
If you have enough evidence that it's a new discover, now next step is to ask them for contacts of some credible comp-sci publication that you can publish it. Add them as thank you for reviewing your draft and publish it. After you publish, post in HN with the name of the journal for credibility.
- fagnerbrack 5y agoIf you want to spend some money and go hard on defending the thing as "yours" before having definitive evidence from other scholars that it's really novel, register a patent. It's similar standard to that of the standard of an academic white-paper published in a journal. I don't recommend, as patents are today useless for innovation and serious work, although that's the exact reasons they were created in the first place
