There has been nothing stating off the shelf components. Along with many many other ideas.
These are just to open the doors and have a small ROI from the beginning.
Especially since I have found a way to build these rigs for quite a cheap price. I have been talking to distributors all across the globe to get the best prices. Since finding the best prices will never be found in a retail environment. I decided to make a few phone calls. Now the same rigs people are spending $1200+ we will be spending $600 or less.
There are also plans to expand into many other markets. Like setting up a proper 2048 bit openvpn service. Another is web hosting/VPS services. Along with selling hardware. Not just video cards.
Prepaid cell phones, herbal supplements(from reputable companies), toys for kids, dev kits, and so much more.
Another will be for voip service. Which will take a little while to set up with pstn lines around the globe.
Possibly start another mining pool as well. Not sure on that one though as there are many out there in the wild now.
As for the super computers. That falls under research of new hardware and implementation. As right now AMD is working on some new hardware. Which all I can say is(because of NDA). It will blow the current cards out of the water. Plus there are ways to utilize other hardware. That would also come under R&D. Also finding the right distributor of the new hardware will be a bit of a challenge to get the right price.
Diversifying is a good idea, and all of those things you mentioned have the capability to be profitable, but only if you focus on a small number of them. If you attempt to do them all at once you are sure to fail. The "so much more" part really worries me, especially since it seems to be pretty much you on your own running the whole show.
Talk to any exec at AMD and they will always tell you they are about to release some amazing hardware which blows everything out of the water, it's very rarely true. I'm not saying you're lying, but you certainly seem to be buying into what people have to tell you a little too easily.
So I have some concerns, but what the hey. I'll invest a few coins in you. If half of what you're saying is true then you might just make a success out of this. I'm interested to see if you can make me any kind of return.
