Hello. Yeah,thanks. I'm already working on an alternative for vm-bhvye. I know that what I have proposed requires a deep knowledge and I don't have it. To dream is the only thing I can do and I wanna do. I'm also interested to understand if it is feasible,how hard it is,if it makes sense or not,something like this.
