I'm interested in learning. Can you point me to FOSS hardware providers that have been able to sustain their businesses long term -- talking at least 5-10 years+. Thanks in advance.

Signing devices you mean?

Any hardware company really.

I think there is a significant distinction between being FOSS as a software company versus when hardware is in the equation. Completely different businesses when you have to figure in R&D, production, logistics, etc.

You know very well customers have been confused on this issue.

It's also the way market share was built.

Go look at the old Coinkite website, they couldn't plaster the walls with FOSS logos everywhere.

Even NVKs tweets were always about their committment to FOSS.

Such a joke 🤣

Coinkite you fucking twat, NVK said sales were always climbing and nothing to do with the move.

He hates foundation passport & wanted to and I quote "put them out of business then I go back to FOSS".

Do you really think coinkite wouldnt be killing still it if they left it FOSS?

Are you braindead?

Trezor is FOSS!!!!

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I'm not obsessed with this which is why I asked.

Last time I'll be interacting with you. Have a good one.

You didn't seem genuine and definitely sarcastic - if I misread that, that's on me...

Sorry that you get offended so easily, but I can't help that.

Your ego got pinched and you're trying to fit in I get it, but my style of interaction in Bitcoin land is adversarial.

If you don't see value in what I write here just mute me.

What's the problem?

*Adderall vibe intensifies*

LMFAO 😂

Take shots at my persona, but not the topic at hand.

Take the L fam!!!

the topic at hand is your interaction with this gentleman bro

I misread it potentially, and unfortunately - I already wrote that though...just scroll up.

If he really was genuine he learned something anyway 🤣🤌.

dude asked a question and you jumped on him and called him names.

it was clear your aren't rational about this subject from the start 🙄

Lmao bruh 🤣

When your bravado is that high, and you're that wrong...you're gonna get embarrassed in this type of argument.

If you can't handle it go say PV somewhere else 🤣

nostr:npub1tg779rlap8t4qm8lpgn89k7mr7pkxpaulupp0nq5faywr8h28llsj3cxmt is a FOSS Hardware company (to my knowledge).

(disclaimer: I don't understand everything in this thread, I'm relatively new)

They've been around for a bit now too 🤝

thats a good one, they've been around for a long time.

i dont think its FOSS hardware

but i dont think any are, except SS

Hardware being 100% Open Source is non-existent for now.

Even source viewable, non existent.
