Operation & Maintenance

We intend to report the real usage of our hardware in the same way as we would do with energy production. Reporting network usage in terms of transactions, our missed blocks, and (why not?) load on the most used O&M factors of our controlled infrastructure: Input/Output, Read and Write.

It's in our best interest to report these O&M parameters the best we can, in order to help other operators that use similar hardware to learn the real costs of operation and maintenance strategies.
