Yes, I agree. In real life I emphasize the bit I said about "randomly moving pieces", and explain that it is a feature built into the protocol. Of course there is a lot of mathematic handwavery, but people seem to get it after the fact. I've also learned that most people don't actually realize there are more optimal ways to solve rubiks cubes anyways.

Worse; if someone came up with an efficient means of solving this particular "Rubik's Cube", the cryptocurrency people would be in a rush to move away from that, and find an alternate lottery where only dumb luck helps.
