But why did he just give the first bit, and did he say what he plans on doing with the key? Is he trying to decrypt the dsiware himself, or is he just looking for a dev that he trusts
The first bit was given randomly on IRC, if I recall just in a teasing way. I don't believe he wishes to release the key at all, at least yet. He can decrypt WiiWare; once you have the key you can decrypt pretty much everything for the DSi.
How can you be sure he's not just messing with you? i.e. Tell you that the first bit is 1, but it's really not. So if everyone runs the brute forcer with "1" as the first bit, then it will never find the correct common key.
Could be an effective "hey, look over there while I develop custom firmware" tactic.
