In that case, wouldn't it be more profitable for Bitmain to keep what they make and mine coins themselves?

Why would you need everyone in the country to read and understand the code? You just need a sufficiently large group of academics, programmers, developers etc to identify issues.

Wouldn't those concerns be resolved by being open source? Could run the new automated system in parallel for some years first, like a second umpire in sports.

Interesting question. I think it's fairly reasonable to assume that: 1) The NSA knew about it and had exploits for it. 2) Google Project Zero spoke with the NSA prior to releasing the advisory. An exploit for such a pervasive vulnerabi

You're right but if that fails (as it has in my case) what then? How much support is reasonable to expect from a company that holds your money?

I did consider it. But the lead partner jumped through some hoops to get me admitted directly as an outsider (I had never worked in a big four). To take that job with an intent to leave in a year or two would have reflected poorly on him an

I quit my job a few years back with around $150k in the bank to fund my startup. A few months later, still nervous about leaving full time employment, I took a job interview with a big four. I received an offer with a base salary of $600k.

This is an important point. We're usually only tuned in to notice the propaganda of our "enemies", because to us they're evil and any attempt to appear otherwise is outrageous. Another film example is Act of Valor (2012)
