Show HN: Selling New Era Calculator

2•sandeepkd•1w ago
So I built this calculator which can do big number multiplications (keeping the scope/functionality small)

Only caveat is that there is a certain probability of it making mistakes with the calculations ( I claim the probability to be less than .0001 %, different results for different benchmarks though)

- It does speeds up the calculations, saving lots of time for business

- You can of course verify the calculations manually if you want to check on accuracy

- Better yet, you buy multiple calculators and execute the same inputs to get a better confidence on the result

( Though in full transparency, I must warn you, since the core logic is same, its possible that for certain combination of inputs it produces the same result across all the calculators/devices which may be wrong. Buying more than 1 calculator can only help up to certain degree.

- Also I am emphasizing that you should not spend any more efforts to learn multiplication since calculator is there

As a business:

1. Would you want to buy this calculator

2. How many calculators would you want to buy, I would like to emphasize that the more you buy the better accuracy/confidence you will have with the results

Oh couple more things I forgot to share,

1. I was able to sell this calculator to some of the companies in aviation industry to calculate altitudes while flying

2. My business plan does depends on people loosing the skill to do multiplication, thus artificially increasing the accuracy of my calculator in the absence of manual verifications. Eventually I will raise the price 10X to make profit.

PS: This is one time investment opportunity to take big number calculations to next level.
