0.5% is enough to get open chips rolling out the door
to funders and millions of paying customers. Ending
closed could happen, look at all the open on (centralised)
github that didn't exist at all 10+ years ago. But what
must happen is putting down the $$$ to get the first
one going, to put open chips out into the free market,
that is the seed.

So go crowdfund and spend another trivial 0.01% to do that too.
However fuzzing and exhaustively probing is hard, not least
because today's instruction and data bus and transistor spaces
require 2^n ops, reaching atoms in the universe levels.
And all the effort is good for only whatever closed chips you test
all of which get obsoleted as new secret ones drop every year.

Decades and decades of CVE's against closed GovCorp shitHW.
Whack-a-mole and embarrassment are not solving the problem.

#OpenFabs , #OpenHW , #OpenAudit , #FormalVerification

Those must all be crowdfunded started up and tried.
