Hello,
I currently own MC Server Hosting LLC and would like to use my existing infrastructure to providing a dedicated chia pool. I personally like the concept of proof-of-space and feel as it can serve a great benefit and counter against ASIC power utilization for BTC and alternatives.
We run high-performance servers and IoT devices in Germany and Virginia, USA. As such, when the chia pool container image is announced, we will begin preparation around this. We will aim to be a donation-only pool (meaning no fee enforced) since we maintain a spare set of resources that we believe would be enough for a scalable pool. In addition, we will work on offering services such as āPlotting as a Serviceā using our high-performance infrastructure and batch job orchestration service. If you are interested, please join our discord at https://discord.gg/29jVB4FjGy.
Quick background: we consist of a small team primarily lead by myself. Our infrastructure is bare-metal with Kubernetes as our backing orchestration software. This means we would be able to optimally host a pool with existing services while maintaining updates. We originally used our spare resources to support FoldingAtHome during active times of covid.

Thank you and best wishes to the Chia community.
