In 2001, I developed a keyboard with a magnetic strip reader built into it, right of the keypad. When a customer made an online purchase, they swiped their card on their keyboard, it encrypted the data and sent it a long. I had the hardware and software built and ready to launch. I put 3D model displays, financial reports, production costs, and even broke down the marketing strategy to the demographic we were targeting. Then at the last minute, my "investor" is arrested for drug trafficking. Yeah, I was in Miami, forgive me to thinking an honest man had money in that city.

Moral of the story. I'm drunk. I'm pretty sure if I didn't smoke so much pot I would have gotten off my ass and found a new investor. But I didn't and now I'm posting advice on GFY. If this is the blind leading the blind, I'm Stevie Wonder wearing Ray Charles' contact lenses and you're that chick that talks funny on those detective shows. She's blind, right?
