why shipping? i come up with a better alternative, you just give him the money and he build and host your rig there, you then pay for the electricity cost and give him an additional 10% of your earning for the hosting
Georgia's prices on rig's parts cannot compete with Amazon and Newegg
you can build a rig for 24 VGAs for about ~100$, this will be the cheapest solution.
well a rig don't occupy that much of a space, especially if you stack them up
isn't better for you to charge a % on the hosting instead? like 5-10% on the total revenue of the hosted rigs?
what about trust? how can we trust you?
The percentage might be better for me. I'd be willing to give him let's say 10-20% of what the rig produces and up to 33% if he can pay for the shipping. Ii would cost something like 77$ to ship 12kg, so might be worth for him or not. There's something to do here I believe.

that's why i was talking about trust before
Trust is always an issue I know, but In fact I do this for living. I maintain BTC and other cryptocurrency farms in and near Tbilisi, Georgia.
I thought more people would be interested in low electricity price and ready environment that's why I'm planing to get a place with all necessary stuff and offer a service like this.
Also everything will be official.
Charging % is also an idea, but needs calculations.
Also you are right Rig doesn't require much space, but what if you want to fill up 100sqm? How much are you willing to pay the rent for 100sqm with air flow and conditioning and no power limit?
I know I need a lot of calculations to do
if we can overcome the trust thing i'm very interested in this, but i'll build it slowly, let's say i'll try with one rig to see how the thing go and then add the others
rig would be controlled remotely with teamviewer for example, and like i said i pay for the electricity and an additional % that must be calculated right, so we both have a nice deal
We can overcome the trust thing, as I mentioned I do this for living for local farms and I thought I can do it for everyone, which as I see is a great idea.
For local farms I'm only responsible for maintenance and of course online status, all other things are on the owners, the place where they have farms, conditioning stuff, security and etc. I also give them some recommendations that's it.
Charging a % is also great idea, but some calculations must be made, also for big farms, like if someone wants to rent 100sqm at my place I can give any amount of electricity and help with everything, like building the rigs etc. charge the fee for 100sqm like 2k$ and electricity and also maintenance fee of course if one will need it, in this case I will be responsible for paying electricity for air conditioning and cooling from the rent I will get, but also some calculations must be made here too.
Amazon, ebay. aliexpress and so on ships to Georgia. But it is always better to make private shipment on company name than to buy and ship directly from amazon or any other store, in this case we can delay customs tax for 3 years, after this period you either pay customs (but you pay less, because after 3 years your VGAs will cost much less) or ship back your product.
