If you have no idea how to do stuff, you're going to have a bad time. Try to do something you actually are competent in and try to succeed there or learn for yourself. Programming ATMs, web wallets etc. is nothing that can be done just like that and that is VERY hard to estimate the scope of for example. Also competent programmers aren't cheap and usually not looking to work for people who have no idea what qualities they are actually are looking for.
Sorry that this sound so harsh, but just imagine something you are very good in and then some random programmer coming up and saying "I have no idea how that's done, but I want to do several highly difficult things, where can I find someone to do this for me?".
Hey thanks for the reply, as I've mentioned I'm not a programmer myself. I'm a business manager and my family was in computer market for a long while. My father was a founder of a company (which I will not mention its name) who first brought in Intel, Seagate and other big computer firms aswell as concept of strategy & marketing of an IT company into our country. Later the company got sold for 14 million dollars AFTER the 2001 crises. (4 years after its foundation.) I'm pretty young and excited. My father will be the leader of the project as he is the mastermind. I'm just bringing the youth look to the topic, and as you can guess I brought up the investment idea as he is out of computer business for 10 years now. I have read enough management to know that without execution an idea is just an idea.
Where do I start? Anyone that could pull off what you want correctly is already hard at work on their own ideas that will be much
more lucrative for them than any amount you could pay OR they are working for a big company for a big salary especially the
bank/ATM guys. If you do find someone that says they can do it then it's all on you to make sure it's done right because if not
your site won't last long because it will be hacked and all the bitcoins will be gone. How do you know it's done right? You don't if you
cannot do any of this yourself. Seriously if you just have a great idea with nothing else or don't have a $500,000 budget to start then I'd
suggest not even starting.
We're looking into 200k+ investment at 3QT, most of it spent on the marketing side of the project. Will be followed up by bigger numbers. Just need to bring up a physical concept with minimal cost as a beginning. Probably just the ATM and wallet app at this point.
