Okay, we will wait a bit buttt, once ps4 firmwares can be decryptable, cant we install latest firmware like rebug 4.82 cfw on ps3? Or just patch eboot.bins on newer games for older firmware?
Nobody knows...... It was a while after the PS3 was hacked before we could upgrade to a more recent CFW.

i could care less about cfw this is very similar to early vita or wii u days. You are asking for cfw because you are confusing this scene with the ps3. This is a difference scene. Cfw persistent hack is nice to have sure. But due to method of attack (webkit to kernal hack) it's not needed. It's not like it takes forever for the hack to load. People will be able to accomplish quite a bit before cfw is dropped IF EVER...
While true, opening your webbrowser for something so simple like enabling Debug Settings can be a waste of time. CFW could implement these features easily. Could possibly make hacking more easier even. As for myself I don't see CFW being a thing though very soon. Making a CFW is just a long process from what I have heard and seen.

thats the problem if your goal is piracy or homebrew why would you postpone it to write a cfw if you can do either or perhaps both. The vita scene is a perfect example of this.
You'll just have to see who does what, us saying our opinions probably won't change anything. If someone wants to work on a CFW and has the capability then they should and probably won't stop because someone says they shouldn't. In the meantime, though while a CFW is being worked on developers like zecoxao keep working on homebrew and such. Since we have somewhat piracy and it's getting better plus homebrew (and it's getting better, and new homebrew is being developed as we speak) I think now is a good opportunity. We even have forms of .PKG installing meaning installing a homebrew backup manager with CFW will be super easy.
We aren't postponing anything, those who have the skill and time to work on a CFW do that (can't think of many at the moment, perhaps Joonie), whilst developers like zecoxao work on more homebrew-related things. At this rate we'll atleast have very good homebrew and possibly a bare-minimum CFW that implements debug settings and features like that so it's easier for us to install homebrew and run unsigned stuff.

i disagree here somewhat. Some will try yes but it won't be focus of scene till other things progress. Then similar to vita people will demand it and time will be spent. This is my take after my own research. Opinions do matter as the vita scene shows. When enough people have needs (usb mounting for example or larger memory capacity) the scene is organic and it responds. Just being honest with you.
Don't worry I love honesty! I didn't say that it would be the main focus, there are teams dedicated to CFW as there are teams dedicated to homebrew. The point I was making is both will end up happening (one sooner than the other possible) and both will progress. What I was saying from the beginning was not "we need to work on CFW now it's our main priority". I was saying it's a very useful thing especially on a console like the PS4. I even said...

Yes here I agree I hope you see my point about the scenes being organic.
Closed mouth don't get fed.

I would. You never know if future developments for the exploit will include an emunand like solution or being able to make updated CFW to install over an exploitable firmware like the ps3 prior to the newish ps3xploit solution.
Plus you never know if 4.05 will be the latest possible exploit in the console's lifetime like the ps3 being locked down to 3.55 for so long. Or the dsi which is getting hacked but it's not out yet and look how long that console has been dead.
Personally I wouldn't risk it and miss out on the scene even if you're never able to play games that require higher firmware. Translations, ports, and rom hacks are just too badass to miss out on. And best of all for me, backing up save files

im pretty sure qwerty has a webkit even in current firmware from there can attack kernal. I don't think people understand. The very design of the platform is being used against them. Webkit hax will forever change things after this gen.
As for playing backups, which is current status to accomplish tha goal? if is even possible to throw an aproximate answer. I know is something complex to know, cause there's a lot of factors and work to do, like decrypting and other stuff, but now that we have kernel, what's next?
if you are not for a hurry to play those games, get a 4.05 PS4 and keep it until the scene become big enough to pirate all those games, or buy any PS4 and nuy those games, bloodborne GOTY is $14 right now with plus.
in fact, most of those games are on sales right now.

PC gamers, I used to be one. - you don’t get the console exclusives. Yes it is cheaper long term. But not short term. - most of my friends play console. Bar one. Who owns an Xbox one anyway...
seems qwerty has a webkit + kernel exploit for 5.0x and some other people may have one for 4.55.
But will they release it? I doubt it, especially given qwerty history (stopping ios jailbreak releases after people annoyed him on twitter)
