You do know that if someone else owns the patent then you have to PAY THEM to use the idea?

Just checking....

Im very humble.

Looks like no one has had any runins with delcom or any of these types of companies. Im hoping its not going cost me too much. I was think about (wishfullthinging)$5,000. for the whole thing. But at my consaulting job they build application for $10,000 - 200,000. Im hope its no where those price.

basicly all they have to do is build the hard ware and solfware driver.

(wishfullthinging-off) sigh it probly going to be around $15,000.

Stop yelling and go to work. You're not gonna pay 15000 $ for something who's not even given to be a success, aren't you ?

Make it yourself, save money. Time isn't a problem.

It is a given success coming from people i have showen the prototype too (witch i feel is to many people sigh). Time is also factor i live in a country that dose not have a radio shack any more. This seems to be holding me back. It take a long @ss time and a lot of money for stuff to come here though mail. and now im finding out then the laws are making it even harder to bring some stuff. example i cant bring in the (toxic)etching solution needed for the photo etching process.

I only have the signaling part prototyped i have not begone to add in the audio part.

as much as i want to make it my self, being so far away from a radio shack is a big limitation.

If it really were a billion dollar idea, the right order would be:

- Write it on a paper
- Sign up an NDA with an investor, show your idea
- Let the investor use his money, connections and expertise to patent it and to bring it to the market
- ???
- Profit!

That would take a lot of money that i could have kept and give it to the investor.

I dont like the idea of making rich people richer. ill rather make a team of poor people and make them richer.

A billion dollar idea by itself is worth exactly zero dollars.
A billion dollar idea plus the cash to make it happen may amount to a billion dollar.
Now suppose you bring in the idea, and someone else brings in the cash - how large a share in the profit would be reasonable?

Anyway, when you're rich and famous, come back here. Until then, good luck.

Yes. That's unfortunate. However, if the investor's money can sell the product 5x more and you get 20% of the profit... you've already saved yourself a lot of risk taking and headache.

So your grand idea is a real-life MMORPG? It's already been done (or at least something similar)

Well, you know how it is on Allegro.cc, things rarely get done here. I'm still waiting for that 'infinite energy machine'.

I believed you could do it, we even stopped paying our electrical bills because we hoped you would be fast to implement the device.

Now we are in the dark, my computer is powered only by my disappointment and sadness. :-/ (actually, I'm stealing power from the neighbors, but shush about that! )

I had to put off the test with that project because this county dose not sell shot-put balls for me to hollow out and fill with gas to test my boency concept. that test is still in my books to be completed.
