Hacking and breeding aint the same
I can't believe people who think they can get a good seedbank up and running fast. I would never try to make a seedbank my self cuz of how much work it find out what all the laws is and such before getting the site up and running. Then spending a min of 1 year getting to know a single strain.

Personally would not open a seedbank without having worked quietly for a few years, slowly releasing testers of top shelf seeds that begin an elite like strain.
Then when it as a good status release a fully stable version
A "human bean?" You sound like some 50's or 60's 'B' horror film where some guy was working in his vegetable garden and exposed to an atomic blast and became a human being crossed with a bean that then went on a rampage terrorizing the countryside.
"A human bean!"
also I'm going start selling other people seeds first but call them cool names so people buy them more!!.
So you are going to ripoff other breeders? I guess you learned that one when taking a business ethics course. How will you do it? Buy large amounts of other breeders strains and then repackage them and rename them and then mark them up and not only be ripping off the original breeder's strains but mostly ripping off your customers by making them pay much more for the same product they could have bought elsewhere for much less?
Or will you be buying small numbers of seeds from different breeders and growing plants and making F2 versions of real breeders work and giving it a name you think sounds cool, but will just sound stupid to customers, and then be mostly ripping off other breeders but also ripping off your customers because if you will be renaming the strains, as if they are your creation, you certainly would not tell them that you are selling them F2s.
Half the money goes to breeder remember I think this works out for everybody.
It really only works for you. That is IF you can pull it off. Everyone else involved gets ripped off to some degree or another.
I hope you are just some 12 year old dreamer and not some Beavis or Butthead that's actually going to try to do what you said is your plan. It's crystal clear that you are trying to get into the seed business for the wrong reason, that being money, and it is equally clear that ethically you would make Arjan from Green House seeds look like an honest upstanding straight shooter by comparison.
Consider how two of the most skilled, most talented, most successful, most respected real true breeders began. Both Shantibaba and Nevil went from nation to nation searching for special unique genetics. Shantibaba roamed Southeast Asia and South America and other regions. Nevil was doing the same basic thing in other parts of the world. They had to hire guides that were also interpreters, because neither of them spoke the languages of the nations they went to or knew where to go. They went places that were not then, and maybe never have been, totally friendly to Westerners. Sometimes the guides were armed because where they went was unsafe in various ways. Nevil was in Afghanistan when the Soviet Union invaded and had to run and sneak his way out of the country.
Those two were like a couple Indiana Jones', but searching for cannabis genetics rather than ancient artifacts.
Why did they spend the time and take the risks they took and went to the expense they went to? Because they have a deep love and respect for the plant and wanted to work with it and try to create new and better strains of it for people to enjoy and benefit from.
And you want to take the work of true breeders like that and misrepresent it by giving it a different name as if it is something you created and then so you can make a profit that is worth your time and risks you will have to increase the price dramatically, or making F2s of others work and either way by doing so rip off people you hope would become a loyal customer base that you could rely on for repeat business.
Can't you see how wrong that is?
Why don't you just start a new seedbank and purchase and resell others work the same way other seedbanks do? Buy in bulk, mark up each pack as much as you can while still remaining competitive so you can get business and be happy with that. Or save as much of the profits you make as you can and then go on a search for genetics that you can use to then add your own line of strains, after of course you learn enough to be more than a seedmaker and have earned the title breeder.
Again, I really hope you are some 12-year old kid with a fantasy because you, and others like you, are the very last thing that growers need.

There's already a strain named after you from BCseeds. It's called Shithead.

I don't think opening a seedbank would be nearly as hard as breeding. If you have a decent bankroll to make a good site, get some solid inventory, and advertise like Attitude does you'd make money. You could start a good seedbank if you had a 150k in capital to start and were willing to put in 80-100 hour work weeks for the first few years.
