After the recent fiascos and scams around ASIC mining stuff, I think you have to turn up with something really convincing thing before you can recruit any investors. Sorry, but we've seen too many vaporware here in the recent years.
Yea i know, scrypt/altcoin is future today. I dont wanna scam anyone/bullshit on invest anyone.
Its a last thing what i do fooling somebody! If i have money to invest "These moneys are for hardware, not my personal use"
