Not so fast there Colonel, we don't even know if diamonoid mechanosynthesis is even possible. There's a lot of work that needs to be done to figure out if it's possible. This work involves simulations that use cpu-years of computational effort and incredibly tedious lab work.

As far as development goes, we're probably at the same level space exploration was before Goddard.

Bootstrapping is going to be difficult too. The necessary tooltips are incredibly reactive and have a finite lifetime in even the best vacuum we can attain.

Also, most nanotechnologist are INCREDIBLY against an opensource approach to nanotechnology. Even going so far as to erase the history of how nanotech was bootstrapped so people won't be able to build nanofactories without DRM. And DRM means you can't build anything on your own nanofactory without it getting approved by a nanofactory type app store.

Oh and not to mention said DRM cannot be cracked. PERIOD

If we don't do these experiments or accept nanofactories made by DRM-nazis, we could be in for a terrible future.

DO NOT WAIT FOR THE FUTURE, MAKE IT.
