This looks awesome, but yeah, LiquidSky (https://liquidsky.tv/r/NvbWWRI) seems like your biggest competitor. How do you differentiate yourselves?

@ltdemian @ninjinka They are great, and works inside the web browser. We are computers for developers with native client apps for Windows, OS X and Android, which gives us possibility to use USB sharing.

this seems like a great idea! i also like the "oversubscriped" marketing move. for real, i wanna try it NOW, haha. however, your little animation on the main website is obviously implying bullshit. no matter how fast your servers are and how good my connection is - its always faster to send something to my own hardware. obviously. maybe the animation should express more that the actual calculation is done much faster once it reaches your server.

@gopietz I don't know how much of a marketing move this really is. There are lots of company's similar to this that have gotten big feedback from users and quickly run out of computers to rent out to people and the just slowly go silent. It will be interesting to see how they do as I am super excited for it as well.

@gopietz I think the speed graphic is related to replacing "obsolete PCs" by using the service - Sixa supercomputer vs your 10-year old desktop

@gopietz I guess, that's more an unexpected PH featuring, rather than marketing move :)

@gopietz Marketing move or not, IT MAKES ME WANT IT NOW or just pay without even trying it for free!!

Would someone be able to use this to simply upload say a 1 TB of data to a cloud service like dropbox with the same 939.27 Mbps like they advertise if the data is on my local machine?

@anodigital If this works the way I think it does, you'd still have to use your internet connection to send the file to Sixa, so you'd have that time + the time it takes Sixa to upload to Dropbox.

Seems like 200 GB for any application with large files isn't going to last very long. How much for additional storage?

@mykomi The screencast shows a few software titles for "Designer" version, are those the same pre-installed packages as in "Dev" version? It looks like most of them are freeware, what about Sublime Text 3? Do I need my own license?

@witcogroup We got a base package of pre-installed software, for all computers. You need to bring your own licenses.

If this sounds fun and you are itching for a super fast cloud computer today, checkout Paperspace (YCW15) www.paperspace.com . We have our own streaming protocol and all of our machines also have GPUs. One key difference is that we can also run everything directly in a web browser which works great on chromebooks, etc. We have also been pretty oversubscribed so if you hit the waitlist definitely reach out to me directly :)

@dlnrb As an original crowdfunding backer of the Paperspace hardware, I got in early on the software offering and I have to say I was shockingly impressed at the quality and speeds when interfacing with my Paperspace. I used it as a dedicated gaming machine in the cloud which kinda blows my mind.

I was INCREDIBLY skeptical about this when I first heard about it. Personal cloud computing in the cloud has been a pipe dream for a decade, but I had the opportunity to try this a week ago and holy crap was it amazing. I was recently thinking about upgrading my ~4 year old macbook pro (13", 8gb) but decided to sign up for this instead.
