I would say that your idea is feasible with the existing toolchain, if your business model is adjusted a little bit:
1) You must sell the user TWO programmed chips, with instructions making it very clear a chip can be bricked by a bug. 2) Along with the two chips, the instructions "when you brick chip 1, swap to chip 2, mail me chip 1. For 1 year I will reprogram and return your bricked chip for fixed $X each time, post paid (say $5 maybe). That guarantees the user a cheap rescue, pays you a little each reprogram, limits the time you have committed to a cost (postal rates may go up or something). If someone wanted extra insurance, they could certainly buy two pair chips, so they could have 3 bricked ones in the mail and still be operational! If you did that, it could work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
