I doubt anyone ever thought otherwise.

Yes, it is an idea. A bad idea. A very bad idea.

and that is also obvious, and it is why your "hey, look at how clever this is" idea can not really be taken that seriously. If you actually had any faith in it you would try to follow up on it (at least the Baller guy tried that to his credit before reality hit).

I have run a successful stable for about a decade now. That business has nothing to do with your idea, as your idea would be very awkward to implement fairly, and would pretty much fail 100% of the time.
Still, there are a lot of people who post staking threads here and elsewhere (we used to, though honestly it was not very useful for obtaining quality players) - send them PMs with your idea and see if any established stable wants to pay you as a consultant to help them better understand and implement your idea, at no cost or risk to yourself. That will go nowhere in the end, but at least it will show you put some effort behind an idea of yours.

Simplistic statements like this are just used to try to validate your weak idea. Sometimes an idea just stinks, nothing more - and being optimistic about it is actually not productive. Still, I suggested a way for you to pursue it at no cost to yourself, other than a little bit of time, so do that and put all the naysayers to shame. Actions speak louder than words.
If all else fails, consider going with the single dot as an idea - it has a bit more promise.
All the best.
