I don’t know how to write it better. I never said Qubes should change their biz model or do an ICO. Full stop.
All I said is that their product would be great in the hands of a startup that focuses on a single hardware platform and does more marketing
That's strange, because the first sentence in your OP is:
Qubes would make for a great startup and, given the time, prob a very successful ICO.

Ooops, you’re absolutely right and now I understand all the downvotes.
In my mind I was thinking to Qubes as the product(s), that could benefit from a startup. Similarly to as Kafka has Confluent, or Druid has Imply.
And I fully agree that Qubes the company should continue to be focus on research.
All I said is that their product would be great in the hands of a startup that focuses on a single hardware platform and does more marketing, and/or does an ico because I see a great incentive to run nodes of the cloud (because qubes utself provides all the building block for trust).

I respect a ton their work, and as I said in my very first comment I think they should focus on the research part, and someone else could provide capital and grow the consumer product.
