"We are all given a short time, and I think the biggest mistake a lot of entrepreneurs make is that they design and optimize their vision to provide the largest financial return possible. Now, making money is not a bad thing, but what should be known and understood, is that in the end, our salaries, the cars we drive, the square footage of our homes… none of that matters. What matters is the legacy that our business and our vision can leave behind – a legacy that has the ability to shape, disrupt, or destroy, a familiar system. When you disrupt a familiar system, you change perspective – you change the way a community can define themselves to inspire future innovation. Just because things are the way they are does not mean they should remain that way. I want to invite you all to leave your mark on something, and don’t be afraid of ignoring what you are brought up thinking is natural." - Matthew Manos @ TEDx, 2012
Ethically he needs to get his house in order before I will send him any hardware. If he can show he has rectified that part of the way he has done and does business then maybe I would be willing to send hardware his way. Again one can be a great person, kind, giving to a community but it doesn't mean you are ethical. That is my issue not the sum total of what he gives but rather the lack of integrity when it comes to how he has handled several situations. I would loved to learn more about the schism between CGminer and BFGminer I am sure there are more lapses in judgment to be uncovered there as well. Good luck in all you do Luke.
Can I steal that quote for other use? I love it.
