I wonder how are they dealing with nvidia EULAs about using geforce series cards in datacenters. Maybe that is the issue?
They use older cards without the restrictions.
My low cost provider of GPUs has run out of capacity. Good alternatives?

1080s are much harder to buy now, perhaps its taking time to find and qualify 2080s

~ 8.5x higher price than Hetzner.

On the order of 5-25. Interestingly, these Hetzner machines are so cheap monthly that it is much easier to buy via hetzner and they provide good networking / data center ops as well. Break even time on cost is on the order of a year.
Break even? Are you generating digital tokens?
Why would that follow? He said "on cost", which I read as "comparing the costs of buying a video card and renting GPU time".

I interpreted that as meaning you'd have to rent one for a year to break even buying the hardware.

Yes, they're at a much higher price point, but it's also way cheaper than AWS.
I certainly understand the draw of Hetzner's price point!

#18Colocation with ebay'd servers and graphics cards. Some people don't know there's somewhere in between building a datacentre and cloud servers.

From what I see, first news about that EULA change is from end of 2017, so far before current gen cards were introduced

probably just ignore it, they are unenforceable in the EU afaik (which is a good thing - if I buy a piece of hardware, I will do what I want with it).
