RPI4 - 4GB feeler

Just throwing this out there to see on how many people would bite on this and also seeing on what yaw would be willing to pay?
The specs would be:
RPI4 - Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.5GHz
4Gb - DDR4 RAM
256GB - Drive space
1Gbps link-shared
1-ipv4
1-ipv6 (if able to)

$7
Livin' da lowend vida loca!
$3-7 cos I'm cheap, depending on bandwidth allocation and network quality.
Transfer? 7-8$
Doing small dedicated servers with arm isn't a bad idea but raspberry pi's aren't cost effective vs its competition from a hosting perspective. Cant see myself paying more than 4$ for what you listed.
$2.99.
I second that...
ROI on the pi it self at that level = never. lol
Even being quad cores and 4gb of ram?
Hmm. Change 256GB with BYOD ability and I do but its really depend on your network peering.
4 Cores ARM vs 1 normal vCores (depend on ratio) is not that much.
4GB RAM maybe.
Ikoula charges 9.99 and since it has been spawned, its avail, so I guess its to much.
Where do you plan on deploying them anyways?

My DC here in Texas.
I think a pi4 with 400 GB storage priced at $4 might could get some interest.
Possibly prudent as a promotion for publicity rather than prospective profitability
EDIT2: Provide 4 TB transfer @ 400 mbit/s and make it payable in Pigeoncoin
What dc in texas?
TRG Data Centers
I could do that as well. I was just saying 256GB because the bigger sd cards still seem to throw a fit with the hardware. BUT if you know of a card that works better. Please let me know. But if someone wants to send me their own RPI/Arduino/Small computer with HDD. We can work something out.
I accept the major Crypto coins and the connection will be a 1Gbps link. Just keep in mind that it would be a a fair use. Also 4TB per month is roughly 1.5Mbps consistent throughput.
oooooh sdcards seem likely to (sooner or later) be a shitshow to deal with in a datacenter scenario. I would look at network storage.
hahaha hmmm ... yeah, no - sorry, but sending any hardware to Houston is generally a non-starter around these parts. Unfortunately the "other" Joshua has pissed in that well a few too many times. Sucks, but that's the way that cookie crumbled some time ago already.
ummmmm 1.5 mbits would work out to just under 4 terrabits per month
note the capital TB is generally taken to indicate terrabytes
so 4 TB per month would be about 12 mbit/s 24/7
Final edit: I genuinely do not believe this is Joshua Prout. I'm gonna eat it hard if I'm wrong.
You seem new, friendly, like you're speaking our language, and you want to offer servers in Texas. So I just have one question:
Are you not Joshua Prout, and will I believe your answer before I see your website?

Found it. I'm conflicted:
https://www.aliendata.com
It's Houston area and on LET which means Joshua Prout, but it's hosted on BuyVM @Francisco which means not Joshua Prout. Unless... evolved Joshua Prout? I don't know anymore lol
Edit: Also registrar is GoDaddy so 2 signs that it's not Joshua Prout. But you gotta admit, a "Josh" from Houston here is a scary thing lol
Edit 2: It's also really cheap colo in Houston, and that's historically been one single person. That + Woodlands.... ehhh I'm having trouble saying it's not. But he also wouldn't go by Josh on here, no way.
Edit 3: So to summarize...
In the pro "This is Prout" category we have:
In the "This is not Prout" category we have:
$5/yr
Uptime: network storage would be a better idea indeed. I agree on that. Sorry about the conversions. I was using a calculator from google that. You are correct. it is 12Mbps. sorry about that. I miss looked at the Mbps to TB.
Yeah. I know about the Joshua Prout ordeal. So yeah I got that uphill battle. For anyone that wants to meet me come to the next cpanel/summit conference. I will be there. Been to the last 2 conferences.
So far I'm in your court. I investigate deeply when cheap colo appears in Texas to try to prevent others from getting caught in his next scheme. He's not smart enough to have tossed that picture up on lilnetwork to throw me off. Also your apartment complex has no visible floor plans that match the kitchen his girlfriend is posing in on a new photo on instagram. Do I sound enough like a psycho stalker yet? This is what he turned me into.
Jar: LilNetwork is my local business. If your in the investigating mood. I usually go by the name DemonMaestro. I have quite a few dealings with bitcoin mining hardware when it was better at mining than it was now. Did a few group buys as well. I have no reason to hide who I am.
I genuinely do not believe this is Joshua Prout. This person is safe to do business with, as far as I know. Carry on
Well someone's bound to verify that for you if they'll be at the cPanel Conference
Hell I might go.
$10/month
SSD though
I would pay $3.99
