Stop right there. It is entirely because of tinkerers like me that we have open source projects at all, so that enthusiasts like you can have the benefits. > There's many sorts of enthusiasts: we seem to be of different types > for example. That is true. Since you are the sort of enthusiast who just wants to wait until a cheap asic version arrives, why are you arguing with me, who is the sort of enthusiast who will help make your cheap ASIC a reality? This seems completely counterproductive, even from your point of view. It is _certainly_ counterproductive to be telling me how my sort of enthusiast should view the world. Let's agree to differ, ok? As the sort of enthusiast who only wants to wait for a cheap ASIC, you need to have some patience while the other sort of enthusiasts who are actually going to make it happen, go to work in the manner to which we are accustomed.
