Good to see that things are going forward. A project I always would have loved to see is an open source cnc. There is open source hardware and software. But that is not what I mean, I would like to see a project that does what reprap did to 3d printing.

On a side note we need more people in my pool. We have been finding blocks since day one (42 so far). We are a small pool, so long rounds, high rewards. US server, vardiff, pplns, 0.5% fee, 50 bonus to block finder(in other words, it operates at a -4.5% with this bonus). Also an advice, never leave a small pool after a long round, check the block history, usually after a long round a few short rounds are incoming 

So come mine at:
