I'm aware that this isn't the best board for this topic but its my home for now... so its the board that gets it.

I am looking for an individual or group with experience mining to fund for expansion.  Your miner uptime, miner speed, longevity, and reputation are very important. I'm thinking that I will foot the bill for a few tri-6990 systems and someone else will operate them.  I am willing to take a smaller share as time goes on (after my investment is recouped).   Maybe we start out with a 90/10 split and then move to a 75/25 for a few months and settle in at 60/40.

I'd love some feedback from interested individuals or just community members.

I'm not convinced that FPGA is the next wave. I have discussed this with a few hardware designers who don't give me the numbers that I would like to see out of the 'next generation' miner.  Am I missing something fundamental?
