Power and racking are difficult and expensive?

How difficult? Is running 1000 minis worth $1,000,000/month of effort? I feel like it is.

And at that scale (1k) it ain't even that hard, a single room could be enough to hazardly drop them on shelves with a big fan to draw out the heat

There are many people who do not have ready access to a million dollars to purchase said Mac minis, much less the operating capital to rack & operate them.

Very smart play to build a platform, get scale, and prove out the software. Then either add a small network fee (this could be on money movement on/off platform), add a higher tier of service for money, and/or just use the proof points to go get access to capital and become an operator in your own pool.

		If those numbers are true, they could tart with one Mac and can double every few months. But, I guess there are also many people who do not have ready access to whatever a Mac mini costs either...
