Depends on your electricity rate, if you already have a datacenter-like setup to place the miners in, etc. Maybe give us more details on your situation?
You can't buy knowledge. Spend a few dozen hours educating yourself before you proceed with your venture.
I'd sell my knowledge
Consultants and specialists get paid for it all the time. Of course, this is a lot of money to entrust into some dude on the internet.
Trust me it never works out. I have had 3-4 of these start ups that come to me though PM and ask about a start-up and want info. Almost all it is not cash they have but cash they are asking if they had.
The first one I thought what do I have to lose? Anwser is time... so many questions and in the end no pay as it stay's in planning. The other ones I have gauged seriousness and they just were not even up to par.
I suggest anyone thinking this is a great idea to advise... skip it unless they are paying up front. And honestly it's better they research it on their on as they will learn so much more then giving certain answers. Being a knowledgeable investor is important
Fair enough, back to replying to forum to these questions as time allow. I do have people that PM me often and ask me tons of question. I do reply and i don't mind too much because of my free time but yeah. I don't really get anything tangible out of it.
I do to I enjoy helping people. I do lot's of posts on here to help with mining issues and I love tinkering so I have done 1 on 1 many times on help over the years. Teamveiwer is a great tool for someone who has never mined.
But helping someone like that vs someone who say's they are going to be a quarter of a million dollar company is huge difference. You can try it once they will want skype and you are talking about many hours in first day and following day's depend.
Of the around 4 I have talked to they just were not serious enough, it was more "what if I invest". Only 1 did I really go a decent amount of time that was all wasted. I suggest you try it once and you will come to same conclusion I'm betting.
Or you might ask for payment before talking to them, and would get something. I just hated to ask for payment when I don't know if i can help with all aspects, so I didnt make payment up front.
