What would be awesome is if he just said one day "I need 100 million dollars for my AGI project to buy hardware, anyone who wants to share in a 20% cut of the business just send funds to bitcoin address ### or ethereum address ###". He would be fully funded within an hour, probably.

Unfortunately that could never happen because of the SEC.

John Carmack could set up a Patreon for us to watch him vlog his progress, and could earn more than most of us ever will.

Wasn't this already done by Goertzel's SingularityNET? They raised $36 million in 66 seconds (note: I don't recommend trying this).
