What really put me off of them (and as a fan of BCantrill and others there) is this information is highly obfuscated and I was never reached out to the two times I contacted Oxide to find out more info (both times on behalf of an org that could more than pay). Still think they’ll succeed big but I don’t think they’ve fully dialed in what is important to people who may be able to pull the trigger on a decision like this.

Second this, I was (and am) in a position to pay substantially for such a system and the few times I reached out was met with radio silence. possibly because I am in Europe and they want to focus on the NA market, not sure.

  It is true that we are focusing on the North American market, but we are also not trying to treat the European market with radio silence; please accept our apologies! We can't find anything under your HN username or the information in your HN profile; would you mind mailing either me (my first name at oxidecomputer.com) or sales@oxidecomputer.com? With our thanks -- and apologies again!

    I will definitely reach out. likely you have me under jmh@sharkmob.com which was my corporate email address at the time. Alas, I have moved on from that job. But just so you know I am not lying.

      Thank you so much! (And definitely viewed this as being on us not on you, so no worries!)

With our apologies, we can't seem to find anything based on either your HN username or the e-mail address in your profile. So sorry that it was somehow dropped or otherwise went into the ether! Would you mind mailing either me (my first name at oxidecomputer.com) or sales@oxidecomputer.com? Thanks for your interest (and fandom!) and apologies again!

  I have a very strong aversion to being put in any kind of sales system. Do you have anything public you can share at this time, or is it all "contact sales for pricing"-level stuff?
