Problem with talk in thread about hardware is
that it's incredibly hard to impossible to build
and run trusted systems on top of untrusted HW.
Only fools keep trying to spin their way around
fundamental problem...

Essentially all HW in production today is
in fact completely untrustable. One has not
even a single proof about what truly is happening
under the hood. Not even the apparent result of 2
to a simple query of 1 + 1 can be trusted because
one cannot exhaust all conditions under which it
may be asked. That approach is a mental failure.

Time again the far better general solutions of
 OpenFabs , OpenHW , OpenSW
are plainly presented by various people,
in conference talks, etc. But who is doing
the revolutionary work needed to actually
fund / get such HW methodologies, production, and
economies off the ground in a big way... <crickets>.
All it takes is a few large donors to cold boot an
OpenFab capable of printing thus OpenHW.

Till then you get what you demanded and asked
for by silent omission... untrustable garbage HW.

Cryptocurrency is one step to fix that in monetary.

Where is the steps to fix that in HW... the revolution
is monetarily achievable, and long past due.
