Right. You are of course correct that the idea is not to hide the block forever. The idea is to build a secret branch of the block-tree and publish it when you stand a good chance of winning over the main branch

My name is Assaf Shomer and I wanted to make you guys aware of a paper I just published discussing Block-Hiding mining strategies. The paper can be found here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1npGX-OU_NyMUdTTUZ2QlBLSWc/edit?usp=sharing

Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks.
