He does have a point about there being inconsistencies in the protocol. It's a pretty ugly binary protocol.
That said, the work done by Bitcoin miners is totally useless for bruteforcing anything except double SHA256 hashes, which AFAIK is not used anywhere besides Bitcoin and derived cryptocurrencies. It's certainly not useful for brute forcing ECC keys.
