I know this is a new account without many activities. Because I thought LES and LET is the same thing with different front-end before, I didn't register for LES. Want to build a new development PC to replace my i5 6 gen Intel NUC, it's too weak to run my code. As a high school student with no income, I need it . I may claim some RAM or SSD in the next 24hrs to save my empty wallet.
I would love to get two sticks of the Timetec 16GB DDR4 2666 RAM. I was also interested in two SSDs (Crucial BX500 1TB and/or Adata SU635 960GB), but know they were already claimed; if they fall through, I would still be interested.
Hopefully shipping costs won't be crazy! xD

Ah, I'm noticing about this quite late.
Oh well, still some nice hardware going around

I'd like to claim 2x Seagate Barracuda Compute (st2000dm008) 2TB 3.5”
My chickens are at max production, but cannot ship.
@selalumenang said:
wait what?
even the providers are allowed to claim the giveaways?
I contemplated disallowing this. Overall, I don't have a problem with it if they are active here. Realistically, I don't think the cost will be worth it to ship a server like this to a foreign country in most cases. Even domestic, will probably cost ~$45-60 USD.

That is a nice story, but sorry. Your first and only post can't be in this thread asking for something. I will thank @Not_Oles for taking the time to educate me on the differences/background between the sites as at first I couldn't tell exactly what it was until I had the missing background info filled in. Feel free to claim again after some activity here.
All gone, and I don't really like you @Cloudie
How about a newer 4x LFF or 10x SFF bay dual Xeon E5 rig with better specs? One time offer pending just for you
The tl;dr is the SSD has mediocre speeds due to lower quality NAND flash, no DRAM cache, and a generic, non-tuned firmware with a middle of the road controller. Still faster than a 2.5" mechanical drive in most circumstances but definitely not by a wide margin.
They are OK for mass data storage where performance is less of a priority over capacity with an ideal $/GB.
Cheap dedis are my drug, and I'm too far gone to turn back.
Out of curiosity - what the fuck is Inland and even more important: Why you bought it in first place?!
A lot of this stuff we didn't buy. It comes as extras, randomly acquired, or sometimes you buy a pallet of servers from your favorite vendor and their new guy forgets and leaves their test cpus in every server. You ask them if they want them back and they don't care.

Yeah, I think those drives came with a pile of parts that were purchased from MicroCenter as some "freebie" years ago.
@crunchbits if no one gonna take those 8g ram, could I take ‘em four in a row? Since, you know, x399 got quad channels. Of course it’s better if they’re the model, otherwise, maybe not compatible.
Right now we're still working on software development, but by the end of February host onboarding should be automated.... list all the excess stock you have and generate revenue on your otherwise unutilized servers

Alright, I'll fill out on there but have a few questions. You may (or may not) want to answer this stuff publicly, so I'd be fine if you wanted to DM it but others might have the same questions:
Are the 'guaranteed' floor pricing numbers accurate?
What makes you better/different from someone like vast.ai?
Are there any particular models of GPUs you really have a need for at the moment? Quantity limits?
Anything else about TensorDock that would be good for a potential host to know?
@crunchbits said: Hate to see you miss out if you wanted something. Maybe bitcoinpostage.info and ship to forwarder and/or PO box or some public location? I don't need to actually know who/where it is going to, just whatever minimal is needed to get it there.
Really appreciate what you are doing, sadly it was simply not worth it for me - costs of re-sending and a whole bunch of other stuff just to keep sensible opsec would be bigger than getting any of these parts locally.
If I were in the US(or anywhere close US) it would've been a nobrainer.
Thanks anyways and I hope people that got stuff from you will be happy.
I hope more providers will start doing what you are doing, many people run homelabs on tight budgets and even some old servers are worth it.
Some neat stuff on the list (some I was unfortunately too late for, I blame timezones). Thanks!
Looks like this claim for HDD was missed @crunchbits In that case, I will change my claim request to,
ITEM: Seagate “desktop” (st2000dm008) 2TB 3.5”
QUANTITY: 2

@abtdw those disks all came from the same NIB systems, but just those 2 had different labels (but identical part numbers). Likely identical if I had to guess.

GIVEAWAY STASH #1
CPUs
* Xeon E5-2620 V3 QTY: 10

* AMD EPYC 7251 QTY: 2 (We believe these to be vendor locked, likely to Dell--but not by us and unsure)
@crunchbits said: Are the 'guaranteed' floor pricing numbers accurate?
When we started off, we guaranteed the payout numbers listed on there regardless of actual demand to bootstrap our marketplace. We're still paying these guaranteed amounts until host onboarding is 100% automated (late next month).
For January, it seems that our marketplace will be gross profitable for the first time — i.e. we'll make more in net volume than we'll pay out to hosts. So the numbers listed will roughly be what hosts make, even after we stop guaranteeing payout minimums.
What makes you better/different
We're hoping to make our marketplace more efficient + target a broader audience.
We operate on the hypervisor level to provision VMs. Our vision is to create a truly democratized cloud provider with CPU-only VMs, CDNs, and cloud storage services. Eventually, we hope this will generate multiple potential income streams for hosts, allowing them to reduce unit pricing on individual services.
Are there any particular models of GPUs you really have a need for at the moment? Quantity limits?
Nope, but we are holding off on onboarding new hosts until the process is 100% automated.
Here's what our roadmap looks like:
Fully-automated Windows (right now, requires 1 manual step per installation) -- early February
Storage-only billing -- early February
Hosting automation: automatic penalties for downtime, payouts, etc -- mid/late February
Only then will we truly focus on growing the marketplace. Right now, it's a niche product, but as we automate processes and add Windows, we'll be able to target the cloud gaming and rendering customers that vast.ai can't target.
Maybe we can connect mid/late next month once our software is more complete? We are growing rapidly as is, so we need to slow down to patch bugs and automate more before we focus on scale
By the way, my claim has yet to be confirmed. Is it still valid? It's okay if it's not.
It is, I have to check again. Looks like all the replies I added got deleted when I went to next page to add more. Unless there is some other reason I would DQ it--any of those first claims are priority.
I'm pretty sure it's been >24 hours since my claim, so I'll request the (last?) two sticks of the Timetec 16GB DDR4 2666 RAM, unless my math is off, which is definitely possible. lol
@crunchbits said:
I have no idea how nobody else noticed that item before you
lol
Edit: if you're getting rid of any more of those 2TB nVME drives that don't meet your needs, I'd love to upgrade from my current 240GB drive. (Worth a shot :P).
