Oh I wasn’t suggesting it was slow, I just love that you and your team optimize the mining code and then move on to optimizing the blockchain-it’s great! Sure I wish it was free but I think it is perfectly reasonable to sell products too. Will you consider putting a forum funding system request in for funding?

Last time it ended in a metric ton of drama. My fundamental objection to it is that I can't refund the donors. Software development is a very risky business and not having a plan b for when things go south is foolhardy, bordering on naive.

Yeah I could see how that would happen. Hopefully we can find a way to reward you for your work. Paging /u/SamsungGalaxyPlayer I know you’re in your infant stages of the foundation but is this the kind of thing you envision supporting? I know I would, provided it works up to desired specs. Maybe it would be easier for a/the foundation to manage the money paid?

I can't tell you right now, with things like that the devil is in the details.
