Hi all

Less Thinking + Instant Gratification would steer visitors to recommended
virtual hosts from our landing page.

That's a good idea to offer that as an option, or maybe a free 'live demo' page of the software running. Would that be hard to set up?

Can we offer instant gratification by pointing to virtual hosts that would
run a FreedomBox for, say, $5/mo?

I must admit I don't quite see the point of deploying to the 'cloud' Are we not just replicating the existing cloud services at that point? Why should I trust webhost xyz to give me genuine Debian when they could just as easily be providing me with 'NSA backdoored Debian'?

Thanks

Sam

I agree. Don't make me think

In this case, the simplest thing would be a 'buy now' button that took the
user to Amazon. Like this:


http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aws/cart/add.html?AssociateTag=howtosurvivet-21&ASIN.1=B019FUVHHA&Quantity.1=1&ASIN.2=B00KGRKB9M&Quantity.2=1&ASIN.3=B009AYVNMQ&Quantity.3=1&ASIN.4=B00HVEZFXA&Quantity.4=1&ASIN.5=B00CKQU6ME&Quantity.5=1

This is an affiliate link and I'd earn a small amount of money from Amazon
if a user brought this stuff. In this particular case, I also happen to be
the vendor of the Freedombox SD card. (I know the SD card is unavailable -
I'll get around to fixing it soon)

What I think would be useful is if people on this list started selling
Cubietruck SD cards configured with the Freedombox ISO via Amazon. Amazon
will drop ship them, so you'd just need to ship them 10-20 cards at a time
when they notify you that they are down to 5 or so. It would be great If a
few other people started providing SD cards in the US etc.

Freedombox foundation could set up as an affiliate and earn a few quid
every time someone brought all the components via a click from the
Freedombox site.

I think listing all the functions/roles of FreedomBox will
confuse/distract the user.  It is better to talk about at most 3-5
functions and say 'many more'.


+1 for me the killer apps are personal cloud (Owncloud) plus Adblocking.
Plus some other stuff if you are interested and geeky.

I also hope that farming Safecoins will give users more impetus to run a
personal server, and that the Safe network will provide them with a
mechanism to back up all their stuff. In the longer term, I think the Safe
network could disrupt the whole game, but that remains to be proven at this
stage. Ref: http://maidsafe.net/

Thanks

My site selling Freedomboxes/ Safe network Vaults is here:
http://safenetworkbackup.com/ If I ever make any profit off it
(doubtful!) I'll donate 10% of the profits to Freedombox foundation, along
with 10% to the Maidsafe foundation.
