It seems as though Geohot wants his jailbreak to be released rather then the SHAtter exploit because newer iBoots show his hole fixed.

MuscleNerd has said: "If geohot's exploit works on all, & since either exploit is as likely to be "known" by Apple, his makes more sense IMHO"

Some want Geohot's exploit because it works on the iPhone 3GS; however, others believe it should be saved in hopes of it working for the iPhone 5.

P0sixninja: "wow, geohot steals our untethered exploit just so he can release first.... talk about #asshole"

Stay tuned!
