While I think that the idea is a bit wacky.. I do admire the folks at HavenCo for apparantly being successful with what they’re doing.. I just want a full cage in a colocation facility at a reasonable price and remain profitable! For now, I’ll settle for my 4u of server space. Want to start a Data Haven?. Have you ever read Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon? Are you running a server farm out of your bedroom closet and wishing you could think of something to do with it? Do you obsess over computer security, asymetric-key cryptography, digital cash, or the future of freedom in the information age? In short, do you wish you could buy an island, recruit a few techies like yourself, start your own Data Haven, and single-handedly change the world? [kuro5hin.org]
