Our current funds ($2400) mean we would survive 3 months. Three months of beating the drum, incorporation, proper announcement and press release, finally translating the website, plus some nice ticking clocks and bars on the website and Kickstarter fundraising. State of affairs: 100tb doesn't respond 2host doesn't respond evoboxes isn't quite sure yet; cannot SWIP yet Most don't like us Other are too expensive: Professional offers start at ~500 Euro per 200 Mbps at the cheapest (with 100 of that already donated) FDC has a new datacenter in CZ, $300 for "unmetered Gbit"; not sure they would accept us, waiting on a reply. Mike Perry left and told me to better stay away, but he was at a US datacenter. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1017226 And we don't even know if we can push the server to Gbit anyway. There seem to be some bottlenecks still hidden inside the code. Amunet is at not more than 800 Mbps most of the time. We can: * go with Swiftway in a strategic moment and hope for the best (in terms of bandwidth and publicity) * run the first Icelandic exit for 12€/Mbps * go with a reliable 200 mbps in Germany for ~500 Euro/mnth * try FDC * look/wait for better offers I think we should make a decision before, or, at the latest, at the foundation meeting. I haven't heard back from the tax authorities yet, I expect it to take no longer than one more week. I'm leaving Dresden for two weeks on 22nd, so Feb 19th would be the last possible ad hoc founding date or we'll have to postpone until mid March. If you want to discuss any of this, join us at irc.oftc.net #torservers, or contact me personally on XMPP mor...@torservers.net. - -- Moritz Bartl http://www.torservers.net/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNVJJVAAoJEOGPxWJITcUAcvkIALa0NvvPqU9C5hA5OcemYTAk EjREQsuE6L8TpVTN0sp4pTCxk3QJ3RQ0Ygxlz2GKLXWuopOKu8D8mE6yb0IE4WHs 15aPZF1dttyiWEK3FEQb1BAZP2EFdeOin1xHtWmsNJrVUB3C6vim2XjtKLfjhZ75 XBFcfWoCgJ61ck2jWMHpr7LgLZQN7gWvf46HMY7Rxn/wlwJTXTedJ+DcPR4BIJkB 25W7TKm9qvTEl1C0eiYDwboNdzbES77Kzmrgyljk80vZvu/rV5jdQW3K8hasnh3f RIEoD3EJtHrPSi6KZ9H0vj1ysa8UJKg1v6W7FYtc7qel0JT5zojImTsOBk0Gobo= =feyN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
