sounds like we need to get the mill fabed as soon as possible, its a waste of energy, silicone and consumer money not to have this technology now.

mobile is where computing is going, i would donate to the cause of getting a chip that would target next generation Qualcomm snapdragon (MSM8994) feature-set with the expected x10 performance and potential reduced power usage.

you dont need kickstarter for crowdsource funding, just put up a bitcoin address

im sure there are ways to get around that.

the bitcoin community is international, i dont see why you wouldn’t want to try and pursue this option. a bunch of company’s raise capital through bitcoin with arbitrary promises and business plans never having to go jump through legal hoops.

all you have to do is layout a plan forward that would most benefit the widest amount of people, a low power soc that can be used on laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Ubiquitous computing is the future, you only need 1 good implementation to serve the majority of needs for consumers.

People will carry around a single system that will provide the compute capability for all their devices and they wont need to upgrade as much anymore because we will reach a point where normal consumers have enough compute capability, i think the the Mill of 2015 can be that point.

ASICs and DSPs will fill the gap for intensive computing and we might even start seeing FPGA’s on consumer devices usable in the same way you can use a GPU to accelerate computing for certain applications. Qualcomm now make the DSP on its soc available to be used by third-party applications.

Decentralization will bring the cloud down to earth, servers are not going to be needed as much with p2p applications.

I think the intel era is coming to an end, so i dont see their business model as good model to follow, even if they have a good profit record.

just my opinion, i could be wrong, the NSA do need their servers and maybe consumers will want the compute capability’s to have their own strong AI’s.

promised reward does not necessarily need to be legally tied, you could just say that potentially in the future, it will be decided based on success how many x shares will be given for each bitcoin donated. the donation data will be forever in the bitcoin blockchain where you will be able to programmatically assign shares or dividends to donor addresses.

personally id be more then enough happy to have more performance sooner and get mores law back on track.

technological progress is not linear, putting off progress is not x years loss in potential gain in advances, its exponential.

im not a whale, i cant invest via the official and standard route. but a whole lot of small fish can make a significant impact. bitcoin is full of tech geeks, we understand that better/cheaper tech for everyone is better/cheaper tech for ourselves.

also there is the potential for allot of media attention if Mill Computing gets involved with bitcoin, you can be sure the community will take opportunity to try and gain from the success they give you, successful funding of major tech advancement would be something nice to add to Bitcoins track-record.

also maybe consider getting in contact with Canonical, they would benefit greatly also for their ubuntu phone project.
