If a market is willing to pay enough to support and grow the project, it can be done. Are there potential partners and large scale consumers for "top security through total transparency" to make an open hardware project viable today?
rysiek: Yes. And there are ways to create a market like that, albeit it takes time.
I haven't looked at how the Black Phone folks are doing lately, but that looks like the kind of product line where open hardware might find its first viable home. rysiek: Funny you should ask: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2402536/us-department-of- defence-adopts-nsa-proof-blackphone-devices

Now everybody will want something similar - and some won't have the luxury of trusting the NSA, NRO, ETC the same way the DoD can.

So is anyone working on building an 'openfab' or is it such a big task that everyone just backs away in horror? :D doctor: The closest I know to that is Jeri Ellsworth, who's at

I do see problems with scaling DYI chip projects up to commercial production numbers, and down in scale to achieve fast, high capacity performance. That's why I am much more interested in the prospects of a manufacturing process built for radical transparency, using "commercial best practice" technology at conventional production facilities. IMO the same kind of radical transparency should apply to all industrial processes that pose large potential hazards to public health & safety, i.e. nuclear power stations, transgenic agriculture, etc. :o) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVuU5QAAoJEDZ0Gg87KR0Ldi8P/28tQayfNwd2gyAW/BXMBggU fD8MoUa9N+Zx9OooWXXxm+vE00of1gvcn/OSIXDt/8L9hKw26EDKPNXCV/S7fdlb V9hWxJEGVHAgqrSC1zOZrRU+eCpN98rtl4F/ah1uDQHYY/degwvnHtHqTmkZMIsC LuwIhtdDBO+kSoKvNbA/av0F/yCPvg1KwErq+zEb5wL94XW85vFd+Kwgn7uFCIU2 h4wHPJzn4jyfXAJftiwh8F5Sqq1pY2Iyw0quMBxOEK8UMz2ix4ZmuasGONswapby rPRmb/MKTpdY8K5+Qics7OljLJgeT6mdA9m3aT7RNxuj9enzETI1uL/31jmvsWiT 5qnnEuPIueA70KOodidDfyGETNzW6yppTy7HPUVVJtnHQMV2HJpz2e8bK5GOuHW4 78peFv9BFaPtO69FHADTYoUDG8ygqDnxkI4AQxm5pxctr64reA1h1HXNJIGVbkGu lMWPKgj2Nk8Sw7HC6+kEO7so9tMUnCECY/ImBTrLum7DeDhHwsmRBLuQuy67QPpj 9LYIXTkWpD87fV2Uh3z/OGHHicEdPQufkBvi/6FFiwyKvZYy8E9CSK/nQaWLKhSn jX3ksFJlXr3c03Due6tB2Q40vfW0vK350WR5vFIp+k/Bia+wkFUsgufK0D1gNIS4 GzkFkU0vfqtUaEsQseB3 =Fxgx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
