regarding the startup, I think you overestimate the profit which can really be made... (not mentioning that a company would have to rely purely on altcoin (mostly shitcoin) value... looks to me as a very risky business model)
also most of the algos which really count have already been open-sourced, and most miners don't really upgrade their program on a daily basis...
Your entire business model depends on so called 'shitcoins'. You make a living off making kernels for them.
I just had a quick look at the
www.coinmarketcap.com site. Yesterday the exchanges traded bitcoins and altcoins for $43 026 823. Bitcoin trades where 89% of the market so the altcoins had a volume of around $5 000 000 per day. According to the coinmarketcap.com site, the total market cap for bitcoins and altcoins together is around $ 4 624 979 409. But coins like sharkcoin and Leocoin and many of the new coins are not included, so the actual marketcap is higher.
Bitcoin marketcap: $4 150 000 000
Altcoins marketcap: $471 000 000
The inflation in the altocoin economy can be as much as 10% (the minable coins) but let's set it to 5% (Since many coins are POS only). With 5% inflation in average, the altcoins generate a mining revenue of $23 550 000 per year. $64 520 per day.
Let's say your 2% miner was the best in every altocoin algo in the world.. Then you would make $1290 per day.
but..
Many alt's can be mined by ASIC's and FPGAS. The GPU minable coins is perhaps half of that.. $600 per day..
And then somebody steal your kernal and put it on the internet for free. (perhaps with a virus)
And then you end up broke, and wasted alot of time..
