You know what? I'll take an open source/open hardware implementation of that over a closed source CPU implementation that the NSA may have had their hands in.

You know what? I'll take an open source/open hardware implementation of that over a closed source CPU implementation that the NSA may have had their hands in. In this sense, rolling your own is a good start. It may not be a perfect implementation yet, this version may not even be secure but the fact that someone is making a start on an open source/open hardware version is commendable. I hope this initiative pans out to something great!
