hashestohashes - I am unsure how I've thrown mud at another developer, and will fix it if I have. Please point me to it.

... as far as millions, don't we all wish...

I can't speak to the capabilities of others, but I spent a reasonable amount of time on my work (if others can do it faster, that is awesome!) and actually acquired licensed copies of IDA Professional and Hex-Rays ARM32 compiler to support this work, that alone cost $4100 USD plus tax. I also had to import a Z9, which after customs/taxes/shipping cost $4179. So before I even started the work, I was out $8279.

I've also spent numerous hours responding to email inquiries and PMs to provide support for installation, for overclocking, etc. I've spent a couple of hours this past week in 'teamviewer' helping another individual load on 8 machines....

I definitely didn't do this to "get rich". I only hacked this because I was frustrated that bitmain had locked 'my unit' after delaying it 3+ weeks.
