  • No, they are free to do that. thats literally not what I’m building or anything I’ll personally care about.

    You said i’ll be selling the vps. which i wont be. and I don’t care personally about the VPS’ or seed boxes at all. They are not required and have no impact on what I’m building. the cost savings I mentioned elsewhere for them are just a side effect of good design.

    edit: to clarify: I’d love to see them do it because that means people like the system i’m building.
    edit2: I know its hard to admit you might be wrong. Dont worry! this is the internet. people are wrong all the time.


  • in no way am i selling a vps (hell I’d love for them to sell systems w/ the software Im building preconfigured), and no there won’t be a markup beyond the processing fees (long term). The subscription is opt in and goes to creators (again less the processing fee and like $1 to cover the base hosting costs until economics kick in). and its 100% self contained application. And no i’m not just wiring software that already exists together, because if i did it wouldn’t work the way i want it to work or be as slick/user friendly. And literally as I explained elsewhere it has saved me money on seedboxes.

    As I said elsewhere, you’ll all be delighted when its ready. But im not willing to say more until I have it built. Anyways did i miss any of your erroneous claims that you’d like me to address?

    edit: Hell go check out egdaemon.com. that’s also my work, and another system I’m basically offering at cost to developers. did it last Q4 last year. just go through the setup guide in a linux container. I spend a ton of effort figuring out how to make systems work painlessly and cost effectively. note: egdaemon still have some issues upstream I havent been able to address due to time/ecosystem dynamics.




  • Awesome! I’ll ping you shortly, probably over the weekend, Im packed rest of the week. I havent seen veilid! But I’ve built similar things in the past, mostly to learn as i was cutting my teeth learning many years ago.

    Looks like a straight up kademlia (from the 160bit keys at least) implementation with some modern RPC on top? would definitely consider looking closer at it. ATM I have that bit squared away enough for the initial program (though I’ve been gutting the library a bit for it to be functional for the use cases I have planned). but it’ll definitely need some love at some point. just have a million other parts to build first before the optimization bits occur.
