And you were banned on the site that advertises it the most: http://freevps.us/thread-11750-post-135837.html#pid135837

He was warned over and over, and started complaining about the warning levels. Not to mention he went into DDOS'ing.
This is not recommended to go with, after the fact he reloaded his node and all VPS had to be re-created.

Let's try to be a little bit helpful. While I agree this isn't a good idea, it's best to state the reasons why.
If you insist...time to shoot the idea of an ipV6 NAT VPS targeted to "people who don't have any money" India down. :)

1. positive: India has 151 million internet users but the penetration rate is still only 12.6%

2. positive: only 18.5 million IPv4 addresses for a population of 1.2 billion so IPv6  will play a larger role in future growth by necessity

1. negative: the vast majority on Indian users with Internet access are middle class to wealthy

2. negative: In India, like in most countries (including austerity-era Western countries)  the poor who do have Internet access overwhelmingly use mobile devices not personal computers to access the Internet

3. IPv6 enabled mobile devices are few and far between, and older handsets in use in India don't support IPv6, so practically nobody in mtwiscool's  target market ("poor people in India") has IPv6 access

tl;dr #1 mtwiscool: you should take a look at this powerpoint presentation from TATA

http://meetings.apnic.net/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/45186/tcl-ipv6-for-apricot-2012-delhi_1330409811.pdf

tl:dr #2 idea isn't practical at this time given the target market of "poor people in India"

Honest question here: If your target demographic is the poor people in India, what makes you think they're able to afford online payments, let alone bitcoins? Even if they are able to make payments online, how will they get their hands on those bitcoins? Won't it make more sense to offer your plans for free if you truly wish to help the underprivileged? I'm sure that if you 1) are serious about it and actually stick to your plan, and 2) provide proof that you actually are providing free low end boxes to people who reside in India, there will be a provider or who who may help fund your project at least for a while.

Poor peoples need a computer, internet + home for running a vps so I don't think they can't afford up-to $12/year.

looks to me you have something to say about everything

what's really eating you?
Nothing in particular, I see the little red dude on every thread and it's single word associated with the post.  Maybe I'm being unfair.  Beast5.com part of Netpower ?

It really has nothing to do with competition.  If I'm being honest its about being part of the community and contributing to that community through semi-substantial contributions.  I wish you the best of luck also.
