In my opinion i dont think it should count, if this s going to benefit the community then it nneds to be something most people can do. Most people cant solder or doesn't have thin enough solder tips to solder onto the NAND.
If we HYPOTHETICALLY(pls no ban) made a fundraiser collecting a pile of cash for a dev, I assume we'd ask a trustworthy veteran admin/mod to keep the money in an escrow paypal account until an exploit is published. That should be fine. Cause if we don't trust the admins enough to not run away...
I suppose the mods had a big shitstorm to clean up the last time a bunch of people got scammed so it's understandable that they want to prevent a shitstorm v2. But locking a thread because we're just discussing something they don't like us talking about is wrong. It's relevant to the Wiiu and to...
I hardly think it's fair to close a thread where we're just discussing and airing an idea. If we actually start creating a donation page without you guys's consent, then I feel like it's fair to lock this thread but unless anyone does that. I don't see why we're not allowed to discuss and ask if...
Don't think Nintendo cares if the person got paid for it or not. Gateway and Sky3DS is a still a thing, probably because hax are like a hyrda. Cut off one head, two new appear. You just need that initial release to get the ball rolling then all hell breaks loose.
If not it's a sure fire way to tell the devs that we appreciate what they're doing even if we sound like ungrateful brats at times. And for the people who think we're only doing it for the piracy we show them that we're actually willing to spend money if we think it's worth it.
I'm not a dev, but if I could choose between 100-200$ and an ego boost or just an ego boost I'd take the couple hundred bucks and an ego boost. Just because you get paid it doesn't mean you'll get less cred for coming up with the exploit.
I didn't mean you had to pay to get the exploit, IF YOU WANT you can chip in a few bucks towards a prizepool which will be paid to the dev who relased an exploit. But once it's out it will be 100% free. Think Kickstarter but the end product is free
Of course it needs to be paid upfront and kept in Escrow, hopefully an helpful admin is willing to manage it and if people don't trust the admin they just don't donate to said admin. As for verifying who to pay out to, the developers could just PM the admin the files together with an Sha-1/md5...
