and to answer luke:
1)What makes you stand out
-That's another point I haven't quite figured out. I do have a few ideas on what to do for little benefits that would make things even cheaper on people.
2)What will your pricing be
- As I said earlier, I looked into pricing...it's possible to go to around $.60/slot and still remain profitable if you want to go that low. From what I've seen $0.79/slot seems to be the lowest in the market though.
3)are you sure your connection is up to snuff
- I've seen people say <5mb/s is okay and I've seen many more say about 10mb/s is okay. My aim is 10-20+ per machine.
4)what are you going to do if you have a power outage
- Again, this is happening in the future. And this isn't the only idea for the future(meaning my house will come way before this) and there are a few ideas there that would prevent power issues..
5)what are you going to do if your internet drops
- What can anyone do if your internet drops? If it happens it's an act of nature...so it could happen to a data center too.
6)how will customers edit there servers (such as adding mods)
-I haven't looked into this yet to be honest. Actually to be honest I have no clue how to run any of it yet. But there is many many years of planning to do before it becomes a reality, so many years of learning.
7)what would be the overall reason for some one to choose you over a reputable data center server.
- With the asking around forums I've noticed the most common answer I get basically comes down to " I don't care where it's at as long as you offer similar service". So obviously you guys are the only ones that are hard core on this data center idea.(Which I attribute to the fact you know your tech unless a lot of consumers out there)
well i guess this is a start, and i dont mean to be rude what so ever, (i think this could work out well if its done right) but i dont think you fully understand the magnitude of the things involved. Well, correction, things are simple if your only running things half ***. But if you want a decent profit margin, and a good customer base, there is ALOT of work involved. But if this is like 5+ years off, i dont think this thread will be relivent to it what so ever, alot can change in 5 years.
