If I buy a rig I might as well host it on the internet to get back some of the investment and sell the compute to others … wait a minute that’s cloud!

It’s always cheaper to have the same hardware serve multiple people than just one.

    Yes. People occasionally talk about pooling resources / creating a co-op to buy something like this. Easier to split $200K purchase (and probably $10k/month electricity costs) if 200-2000 people chip in. But then...that's just the cloud with extra steps.

    Can't says I've ever seen a co-op like that work but ICBW
