Please keep on topic.
Thought it was rather on topic compared to some ways you have made this topic go, you showed us an Invoice Photo (not sure to prove what) and I made a comment.
Thought it was rather silly putting your private email address in an image that's freely available to the public, don't see how i'm being an arse, and never have I stated he is and arse, so that's your opinion on both.

Unsure why this lad gets so much heat about his ideas.... Obviously, he isn't the best writer, nor does he care about data redundancy, nor is he investing in great hardware.... and he insists on BitCoin-only payments...
Yes, we all say our piece and some of us try to steer him in the right direction.
At the end of this experiment someone will be proven right. I find it nice, even if it is flawed, to see someone thinking out loud in public... about a business that is relative to what we all do/use/involved in.
At times I feel all of us can be a tad harsh about competition, even if it isn't real yet

Yup, he's had all of this already explained to him but he refuses to see sense. He's been banging on about this on an IRC channel for the past day atleast.
He hopes that most users leave their VPSes idle so that he can cram 500 VMs onto his KS-4.

Well that's the Lowend* provider recipe, if there ever was one. 500 would be far shy from a record.

Who was this pointed at? Me?
I probably could but this is another hoop your potential customers have to jump through. Most people in the world, even VPS customers, do not own bitcoins.

The topic, whether or not that was your intention, has shifted to how this is a bad idea and how you are being very unprofessional in going about it. Thus, pointing out that you have a hotmail.com address and not an @32mb.club address is on topic.

So looking at the specs, 16GB of RAM...
500 containers @ 32MB each = 16000MB out of 16384MB.... 384MB for overflow, server management, etc.... meh, too small... Better turn swap off and hope to never hit it on that gear.
What are we looking at on a default minimal Debian install? 50 processes? At least as many threads...
50 x 500 = 25000 threads... That's too many threads vs. hardware.
Considering the crypto overhead of VPN (likely most common use) --- anyone tested an i5? I can't see it supporting too many simultaneous users... far shy of 500...
Time to benchmark that hardware by deploying a slew of containers and some workload... relative crypto for VPN / openssl would be where I'd be looking and put a few hundred K sustained through each container crypto wise....

Somehow I don't see a very rigorous testing process happening in the next 4 days...

Imagine that.... burn-in instead can be smoking a few cigs and issuing rm -rf's for fun... That poor drive is going to be violated.
Seriously, benchmarking such wouldn't be easy... Wondering if even such a tool exists or someone around here doinked with VZ commands to ship commands from master to mass of containers....
Wizards of VPS, make yourselves known...
@MannDude is buying someone one for testing, just because we must see this experiment to it's end outcome..
it's 15 prepossess for a minamin debian 7 install.

7.5k+~ processes then with 500 containers... on the low side. That's more manageable.

That's simple enough to pull off. Not something I would share with him, though. Not for free.
