RE: How @supercomputing was able to dominate the mining queue and how the bug was fixed.

You do still need the active key as usual. It is necessary to sign the final transaction that holds the PoW you submit to the blockchain in order to get into the miner queue. The reason for this signature in even the new mining algorithm is so that someone cannot force an account they do not control into the mining queue without the account owner's permission.
