Jaydee, if you read this, how's about releasing a version of cpuminer which runs directly off say a usb stick,
I don't mean a linux or windows version, rather a dos/machine code executable. that would run at full speed without the overheads associated with an OS (MSDos still works even on Ryzen ssds systems

)
How would you like to achieve this goal ? You forgot you need internet connection for miner to work ...and to get your LAN working ( i don't even talk about Wifi cards) you need at least simple OS with drivers...
Running miner just from usb stick without OS would be tricky.
