#12This is the offer: "The beta version of Duple is now available. You can download it and use it for free. However if you’d like to participate in the Duple beta program, and get a lifetime discount as a reward, click here." But I don't understand what we are paying for going forward. Presumably you pay for the software once. Is there a recurring charge of some sort? What for? If the software is on premise, you can't r…
Better to use syncthing, simple equivalent & free / open source.

#13From what I can gather from the FAQ, this won't work for routers behind a NAT, which is the case for me and I assume many others too, this should probably be mentioned somewhere.
A bit worrying that it'll be forever closed source, especially since it needs to expose your router to the internet and that it's written in C and also this sentence from the FAQ:

#14I need more from private cloud than just storage

#17I see https://www.duple.io/en/blocked.html when I click Try Duple What countries do they intend to not sell their software in and why? A FAQ would be nice.

I found this in the FAQs:
> We will have in the future our own dynamic DNS name service that will be included in the app price, so people don't have to pay for it with another company if they don't want to.
Re: Show HN: Duple – Private cloud at home
#19I'm really into home Cloud stuff. This answers none of my questions.
1) Where will my files be stored?
2) Does Duple store a copy?
3) What does Duple do with my meta data? What do they do with usage stats?
4) Does Duple have any third party contracts or contractors with access to my data?
5) How does putting Duple software on an RPI make my files available from anywhere? How do you enable access to my device from anywhere?
These guys are asking for an awful lot of faith from users who are looking to potentially store their entire lives on their service. We deserve to know how it really works.

#20A bit offtopic, but does anybody know a micro server the size of an Intel NUC or Mac Mini, but with 100+W desktop/server (real, not cloud) hardware for use as CI server?
