I've done some extensive googling on the subject of USB ASICs on NAS devices and i see several people creating custom firmware packages for the various models out there (not netgear). I am not versed in code and the idea of trying to do anything like what I've seen in alot of these guides is intimidating to put it lightly.
I Dont suppose there is a coder out there that can compile a Mining client as an addon for a USB ASIC? 24/7 uptime of NAS with low power draw is the endgame goal here.
