People will write essays convincing you anyone building miners before Bitaxe are evil... Meanwhile us independent engineers were the only force stopping Chinese mining manufacturing from singlehandedly taking over the planet. Closed-source hardware designs don't keep you from opening up your hardware and learning about it. They also don't keep other engineers from designing their own miners. However, closed-sourced IP *does* keep richer manufacturing plants & really any entity with mal-intent hoping to profit off of your hard work from: copying/stealing your small shops' R&D design time, prototypes, and frankly the ability to feed your family. 💀 Be wary of anyone who positions Axe/Open-Source as a defaulted moral imperative so they can make more money off of you. Open-Source licensing design work is a donation rarely ever funded, and should not be forced from anyone. Most of us have to feed our families. Open-source progressions should also keep the question "how will larger and richer manufacturing companies abuse small businesses through copying these works" in mind... because they have and they absolutely will again. Do you have an expensive part-placing robot necessary to build these miners at your house? No? Then the design is not actually out there for *you* the average person to build and own. I don't think these moral marketing campaigns want you to realize these things though... 💀
