The prime stuff is currently a mess, but that's just a matter of time.  Once some of the miners reach performance parity and platform parity, the thing left to compete on is price and pool support.  At some point, the profit margin will get low enough that someone might take the nuclear option and open source their miner.

Well - that took less time than I expected.  MadMax just took that option and open-sourced his.

See?  These things work out in the long run. :-)  Or the not-so-long run.  Crypto seems to go at hyperspeed in that regard.
