I don't know why you can't do that only problem i see it finding some one that will sell us some space and we need some one that is willing to design a chip etc .in a few month's i should have a few bitcoins saved up won't be much but some thing and would be willing to invest them in some thing worth while, instead of buying a outdated miner the way it's benign to look.
I'm sure a few others would, just to keep miners in the home etc .
I willing to invest up to about $40K for starters if I knew we could have a damn good product with excellent efficiency that would be in the mix for quite a while. When I say efficient, I'm talking about 0.06 watts per GH/s or better. If we had a rig with 16nm chips and that kind of efficiency, I'm game. We just need a lot more investors it sounds like. I don't even want to start a thread on this to begin anything like this and put all the effort into sending hundreds of PM's out to people to market it to them if it's not possible for that kind of efficiency and/or coordination.
It's also important to have this done in a way that protects everyone's investment. I mentioned earlier that if the money needed to get it moving was not accomplished within a certain time frame, there needs to be a means of everyone being able to get their money back.
It would take more than just me getting the word out. I know I sent out hundreds of emails to get people to point their rigs to CK/Kano Pool a couple of months ago. I got quite a bit of people to come over. They too talked to people to get them to come over. People have to be willing to invest the time to send out PM's to get it going. However, FIRST, I need to know it CAN be done and A PLAN has to be put together to explain [To would be investors] HOW things would be accomplished, WHO will accomplish WHAT and WHEN. It will take some coordination, for sure.
EDIT: People have to be chosen who will maintain contact with people and institutions throughout every phase of the design, development and manufacturing. Many things to consider and coordinate.
