Yes, really.
Regardless of you kissing and making up, you still engage in immature and illegal activity such as D/DoS attacks.
No ham in your server then? You server has an unmetered 100Mb/s connection which is capable of pushing 33TB of transfer a month. At 500 VMs with atleast 1TB of transfer each, things are going to get horribly slow for your clients.Lets burn some of our bandwidth:
RX bytes:859853854165 (800.8 GiB) TX bytes:1685063164670 (1.5 TiB)
Unmeated rocks.
Not disputing whether your service is slabbed or not but I could have typed in something similar here too.
We started a similar service too, interesting to see how it goes for you since it certainly isn't the most profitable thing in the world. You have damn good prices too so good luck!
It's good to see more hosts offering this to the community along with LES, i3d etc.
Although I imagine giving users that much bandwidth is going to overload your NIC pretty damn quickly.

Lets stay realistic - If the gov wants they can confiscate your HW as well, same as a rented server - Just because it usually does not happen means not much.
Only "real" protection is given by some (mainly EU) countries that guarantee non-confiscation if you work with the government (on a very fine line between legal and illegal)

You struggling? You were warned.
It is just people are going for services of worse value.

I don't understand - I've read this thread from a few pages back and it says he's going to place 1,000 clients per node; that's just not possible...
This business makes no sense to me at all - the I/O would suffer to the point where it would no longer function for any clients, even with a SSD setup; 1k clients per node still would not be possible; then comes the CPU & RAM - another problem. I'm also not too sure whether OpenVZ itself (& its kernel) would be stable under such heavy stress from 1,000 clients on the same machine.

You need to accept paypal, I don't think people who have bitcoins will use for stuff like this, and Amazon giftcards is way too complicated.
These type of products take a while to get traction. Luckily we got to the front page of very high traffic-driving site on the second day of our launch. Business has slowed down but we're still getting frequent orders. I'd recommend having a non-bitcoin "mainstream" Payment gateway. Stripe/Skrill/PayPal etc, Bitcoins are still infrequently used.

No, it's only 500. Only.
And according to his business plan (har!) they're all just going to idle anyway because that's why people buy LEBs.
I would like to point out that this is not Amazon Payments. The website gives a direct link to a Amazon gift card on their site you can buy or email to someone as a gift.
Amazon Payments is a actual payment service for vendors (like PayPal) https://payments.amazon.com/home
This is essentially what those phone and email scammers use the GreenDot (or prepaid in general) cards for to money launder.
There are several issues with this, but the main one would be how are you using a Amazon giftcard to pay for the server you are hosting clients on...
