If you run parallel across many machines you will reduce the time, but the cost stays the same (roughly anyway). The initial cost is what makes this insane, not the time, and the end result (GPUs) is undebatable the most cost efficient meth

Servers can reboot for any reason. There are tons of kernel issues, especially since Meltdown & Spectre, that cause machine reboots in Linux especially on high traffic machines. I've worked in production environments with thousands

I absolutely do not understand how you believe trusting an individual on the internet creating a fly-by-night service is better than trusting a company with 20-years in the industry, and GMail a product that has been around for 15-years. Yo
