Is interesting, with such imperfect information, that angry mob assumes 700btc (7700 dollars?) is adequate compensation for Dr. Tyrell's time and creation.  That is less than week of consulting income.  How many hours spent developing?  How much mining does Tyrell do with bitstream?

Dr. Tyrell may have to rely on Zhou to make eyes, but he has assembled his own hardware that uses bitstream.  He has healthy advantage that mob needs to understand before price of open-sourcing software is smart move on his part.

Want is different than deserve or earn.
