That is a whole lot of words ....

I think what you have failed to read on this thread is that the purpose of this miner is to empower the little guys. Any dealings like what you are suggesting is a, well, COMPLETE SELL OUT
The 'genius hacker-cowboy' discourse is useless and in this very moment almost dangerous: It does nothing other than wasting people's time and opportunities.
Chinese corporates are swallowing the whale destroying the Bitcoin (along with themselves though) by monopolizing ASIC chips design and supply and faking a hardware supplier role while at the same time are competting with their customers using next generation chips and technologies.
And Mr.Kilo is going to fight them alone with no money and no support, fantastic but impractical and worse.
A dedicated engineer stuck in love with a project like this, is to be employed full time to go through design , prototype, test and deploy cycles under quality control and management supervision while using workshops, instruments, laboratories, parts , ... scheduled to the project. She will probably need a handful of teammates and assistants plus an extensive support of software engineers and devs.
I don't buy this sort of un-functional imitation of a dedicated hero. If You are committed to the purpose, say welcome to 'somehow, someway' organizing 'little guys' potentials and capabilities and if not stop playing Zorba shit ...

if it is anything like the DAO, count me out. I am dedicated to somehow, someway making a Community Miner. I WILL GET IT DONE - as far as expanding or somehow encompassing a smart contract or even associating the "Community Miner" with such a business plan or proposition would be a fail in my book.
DAO is a failed attempt based on a false idea: smart contracts. There is and there will be no smart contract for sure , contracts are social objects made and maintained by humans. I am talking about semi-smart contracts i.e. contracts supported and facilitated by machines somewhat extensively but by no means ultimately and fully automated. I am proposing such a semi-smart contract can help us to establish a semi-Autonomous Distributed Organisation as a 'bitcoinized' alternative to the Failed DAO and using this to support and escalate efforts and projects in favor of decentralizing Bitcoin network hash power effectively, the community miner project being one of them. Anything unreasonable or unfavorable here?
