Hoi!
Do you run or want to run a Hive project that needs a small basic server? Well, you are in luck, you can get one at no cost to you! We want more projects to run on Hive, and want to help remove one of the barriers of cost to help get that going. We are only going to be offering small virtual servers, and have a max budget of €100 monthly to fund this. Don't expect to get servers with GPUs to be able to mine or train AIs. This is for smaller projects which might not have any revenue streams or proof of concepts to bring themselves to life.
Initially, we plan on just "reselling"(at no cost to the end user) virtual servers from providers like Hetzner, Scaleway, Privex(favored due to accepting hive) to the projects, and then in the future renting a dedicated server and running a hypervisor to create virtual machines to give to the end user.
As of now, projects may request one of the 2 server types:
- xxsmall - Up to 1G ram, 1 core CPU, 25G SSD storage
- xsmall - Up to 2G ram, 2 core CPU, 50G SSD storage
Projects may request the following OSs(latest version of each will always be provided):
- Ubuntu
- Debian
Projects may request the following locations:
- Europe
- North America
No further specifics may be requested at this time.
Hive accounts must be established for a minimum of 6 months to make any requests.
Any verifiable abuse will result in immediate termination.
To request a server, send 0.005 HIVE to this account with an (recommended encrypted) memo with the following details:
- Requested Server Type
- Requested Location
- Requested Server OS
- SSH Public Key
- Contact Email
- Short Description Of Planned Usage
Any request missing any of the details will not receive be filled.
Once the request has been filled, you will receive a encrypted memo with the following information:
- Server ID
- Server IP Address
- Server Login Username
To ensure that the servers are being used and not given to users who are no longer on Hive, we will occasionally send HIVE with a memo, and if no response is received within 1 week, then the server will be shut off.
This project is funded with our own money, and whatever we earn from this hive account. We will continue to monitor and see if we can add additional revenue streams to have more funding.
