Will that approach work? Honestly I have absolutely no idea, but it would be a fascinating and extremely ambitious research project.
-Can we get people to fund it? Yeah I do. there's a lot of buzz about RISC-V, and a lot of buzz can be created about a libre 3D GPU. If that same GPU happens to be good at doing crypto-currency mining there will be a LOT more attention paid, particularly given that people have noticed that relying on proprietary GPUs and CPUs to manage billions of dollars worth of crypto-currency, when the NSA is *known* to have blackmailed intel into putting a spying back-door co-processor in to x86, and that it miiight not be a good idea to trust proprietary hardware

## Q & A
That would be fantastic as it would demonstrate not only competence but also commitment. And will have taken out the "risk" of being "unknown", entirely. So that works perfectly for me :) .
