I also have too many Acorns.

The question is what is the best way forward? I think legal action is a dead end dumpster fire.

The best approach is the "this is the hand you've been dealt approach". I will outline some possible +EV possibilities.

1) Some sort of group buy action for services revolving around the most profitable/useful mining bitstream for the acorn. The developer to be paid in acorns from us.

2) Some sort of numerical accelerator application. If you recall, the original IBM PC's were sold with an empty socket for an add on numerical co-processor chip (which was as large as the CPU chip). Would an acorn plus software have any use in scene rendering applications?

3) Could a FPGA dev kit have any use for the acorn guts?
