I'm more concerned with you throwing around weird ideas.
It really seems like you have no idea how chip design and production
work, how to build a successfull enterprise around an open source project,
or anything mildly related.
Yes, money is a very big issue but not the biggest one. The big question
is whether you get enough skilled people doing work (instead of talk) in
a short amount of time. You'd be surprised how many open source projects
fail because of that (and even more companies). Unless you have a design
that works, is bullet proof and makes coffee in the cycles between, there
is no point in trying to get money to manufacture it. Even if you could
get money, there is nothing to produce. And just by swinging around some
ideas and talking big, you will not get anything done.
Unlike you, there have been people, who have put a lot of time (many man
years) and money (i guestimate several 10k CHF in total) into getting OGP
as far as it is now. Even "just" getting OGD1 produced was a damn lot of
EFFORT and was only possible because many people worked together[1].
I would like to ask you to stop pushing ideas around and start doing
something. Like writing some letters, meeting people and getting a big
investor. Or doing some verilog coding. There are also drivers that
need to be written... etc. Timothy will for sure be happy to give you
a list of things that need to be done.
If you cannot do any of these please be quiet and do not distract the
people who are actually doing the work.
Thanks

[1] BTW: Thanks to everyone who helped with OGP over all those years!
I have a lot of respect for you and i am very gratefull for what
you did!
