RE: Taking on the Giants - The IAGON Solution
Okay. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one thinking Skynet and so forth. :) It probably would have been tacky for you to mention it in the post. I feel kind of tacky for bringing it up in the comments.
I like the idea of the server. Give it its own local network, that sort of thing. Smart thinking too, about switching over to some other coin and running a node if this particular venture doesn't pan out. STEEM could always use another witness, and they seem to be working on things to make the point of entry and ongoing upkeep better than it's been previously.
Laptops are amazing now, but I don't even like to run mine as much as I do, and I always turn it off at night.
Akash? What's that? They keep popping up, don't they?
I think the whole witness voting thing would frustrate me. It seems that it takes months to get to a reasonable position in the witness rankings and then the money you make is only minimal. Acting as a masternode seems to be a more profitable strategy, but leasing space and processing power could also be really good if IAGON do good things.
Akash is another up and coming coin that is essentially doing the blockchain cloud storage thing. I only heard of them for the first time today.
Oh, I'd be surprised if there wasn't some level of frustration with being witness, all the way around. I'm not up to it myself. You would have to crack the Top 50, I believe, before you started to turn a profit of some kind. I think lower than that is where your potential covering of costs begins, depending on how you're set up.
Anyway, just a thought.
These other ideas sound promising, too. Never know unless you try, right?
Okay. I'll look up Akash to see what it's all about.
