K. Yeah, being 12 again would be fun. Especially if I got to keep the wisdom I have now.

Totally.
I have some started projects and none of the knowledge or patience to keep them rolling...
My daytime job take me too much time and gives me too many headaches!!!
Sometimes I miss dreaming again...

Loved to have 12 and a 3D printer!!!
Kids, nowadays have things I've never dreamed of.
Even so (at least, here in Portugal) they prefer to be dumb: "Hey, what are you doing? - oh, nothing, I buy everything already made".

As for the printers, I might have a slightly different challenge to you that would make my point: grab some cheap key chain picture frame and try to inject in it some graphics Wink

Or... make a new board and controller for the PCB...
"Might", yeah, it "might". But the time and effort you would put on that, for what, let's say, 100hash/second... would it be worth?!
Ok, let's make them work in a pipeline basis (it would be easy to implement in eeproms, I believe) and in parallel. But if you follow this idea, you would be designing an ASIC, after all.

Would you be offended if I asked you what are your skills?
Perhaps we could create a "knowledge" and skills pool and perhaps, reach somewhere
