What trouble are you having with the GPSs? Getting them hooked up to ntpd is fairly easy after you get used to some of the common hiccups.
As far as who wins for a long time now it has been astronomers. The fact that Google and Amazon are doing leap smearing is a nice sign that the tide may be turning. It is very rare that you see organizations supporting leap seconds during big standards discussions that are not astronomers.
- carterschonwald 9y agoGetting a rig for some servers is easy. Figuring out a range of hardware to test and support for a range of different types of possible users with different budgets, from some tiny hobby user at home to the entire global economy... have very different needs and hardware budgets. :)

- dfc 9y agoThe entire global economy? Maybe you should narrow your market focus a little. NTPD and or GPSD support anything with NMEA and PPS. You should be able to satisfy a large range of users with any ublox 6, 7 or 8T.
- Veratyr 9y agoYep, you can buy a Neo-6M with breakout board and antenna for $5 and hook it up to a Raspberry Pi without much trouble. Software can be fiddly but I found this guide to be helpful: http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/Raspberry-Pi-NTP.html http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/Raspberry-Pi-NTP.html Hell, you can hook it up to a NodeMCU as well: https://blog.squix.org/2016/05/esp8266-peripherals-ublox-gps-module.html https://blog.squix.org/2016/05/esp8266-peripherals-ublox-gps... Bam, $10 wifi enabled GPS.
