Thanks for creating this topic @pmensik. Agreed that the 2500 AIR is nowhere near covering the costs for the infrastructure. But we have
We are operating on AMD Ryzen 5 3600, It uses avg. 6% of cpu, less than 1% of I/O nvme and 5% of the memory. It’s a good machine for parachains where also little performance is required. Also in the future we will use relay-chain from rpc where the parachain can even have more capacity to run.
So, without a backup, that accounts for $155/month so let’s round it to $200 to count in some actual profit for running the service.
I think our total is around $30-50 lower. Given by the example above that would be around 20000 AIR per month at this time of writing. It would cover the costs but it could create a lot of unwanted effects in the Altair ecosystem. Altair so far just has a NFT store, most of the functionality still has to come through, but also it would be nice to hear from the development team to see how the efforts are divided among altair-centrifuge.
