(OP here)
A sysadmin in finance on my facebook suggested we could start selling audiophools the routers they use for high-frequency trading, which he found a similarly sensible field. (I found this somewhat disconcerting news.) Or perhaps the super-low-lag cards they sell to obsessive gamers.
- wolfgang42 10y agoI've never heard the word 'audiophools' before--I like it :) It's never occurred to me that HF trading would have special routers, but I suppose that makes sense. This sounds like an excellent business model--or, better yet, sell custom routers with special 'audio quality algorithms' built in. I'm sure there's some manufacturer in China that would be willing to white-label a box with a few QOS setting tweaks, which can then be sold at an excellent markup. I will leave this as an exercise for someone with a better straight face than I.
