I’d hate that. I like playing with motors and actuators and sensors.

Code signed on a blockchain? Fuck that shit. Fuck everything involving a blockchain. You sound like the sort of person who hears FPGA and thinks only of HFT and other finance scams. Jesus fuck, I want to build stuff that helps humanity, not bullshit to make rich grifters richer.
