RE: Hive Global API Node Infrastructure DHF Proposal

in HiveDevs3 years ago (edited)

Yes, the portion you've planned to place in savings in order to earn interest on immediately stood out in my mind as something that can be deducted from the cost of the services you intend to provide. Had a 'hunch' long before you even mentioned it here in your response, money moving to that fancy new savings account would be the case, since it's right there, hidden in between the lines like that, looking all cute.

Someone else now can come along and offer the exact same thing for much cheaper, and probably still take home a reasonable profit percentage (which is normal and totally cool with me if it's reasonable). So if I had a choice, I'd choose them, especially if I was offered precision when it comes to these numbers, since those numbers/costs are the only thing that matter.

Wouldn't it be great if we saw more competition like that here when it comes to these contracts? You know just as much as I do someone could come along and give you the ole undercut.

Don't take this personally though, please. Strictly business.

This is not a, "No."

I'll think about it.

Sort:  

I like the idea of having a more decentralized infrastructure. I have no idea how much this type of operation actually costs to run. Unfortunately I can’t comment on whether or not you are asking for too much HBD. I guess it’s only too much if someone else offers to do the same thing and asks for less.

As of now, which nodes are based in USA?
I guess I’m asking which one would be the best for me to use in terms of latency

api.hive.blog is the only one I know in North America(its in Canada). Don't know of any in the US.

Ok thanks a lot for the info!
That’s pretty crazy to think about.

US based hosting is extremely expensive. I've been looking for a good cheap provider so I could start my own US node for a while and the price always comes out to 3x what I'd be paying hosted elsewhere for something similar, or the network speed is insanely bad.

LOL. Sup daltano. Was this response intended for someone else?
