My view on iCopyX is, it was a great product with lots of promise but they made some very poor proprietary decisions, to then realise that other people arent willing to buy into that shit, especially when there is an alternative available (PM3) .
When iCopyX finally removed the proprietary side on some versions, the reputational damage was done and it never got the following it should have.
Greed got in the way of progress.
I think if they kept it open source, it would have been a very popular product, not to the level of Flipper Zero, but it may have taken over ProxMarks spot.
Thats my opinion on it , and the reason I never bought one.
