However, what is the end goal here? if you want to give to the community, nobody gives a fuck, people are either happy with the stock firmware, or use custom firmware and pay a small % of their rewards.

I do not really know exactly what I am doing yet, so I can't say for sure what my end goal will be. For now, I am picturing a firmware I can put on my CVITEK or Epic board that will successfully complete a share on my s19k. I do not really have any concrete motivations for this project (helping the community, making money, etc). It is more of a hyper fixation that will most likely last 3-6 months.

What do I want to get out of it?

A big part of it is to see if I can. Another part of it is to hopefully collaborate with interesting people.

I do not see myself taking this to a marketable product like the other firmware distributions. Best case scenario, I get this to 80% of what I wanted to do, my hyper fixation other goes away or shifts to something else, then at some point down the road maybe another engineer will find some value in it.

if I were you I would look into developing something that I could monetize in the future, either by directly selling it or by using the skills I learn along the way to get a decent job

Haha I can definitely see my future self pissed that I did not take this advice (maybe more discouragement will kill the fixation). However, for now I have 9 months until I get booted off my parents health insurance, decent savings, and a few contracts that will pay the bills, so I figure why not f around with something I am interested in before going back to my bread and butter, full stack development (yuck).
