## Quote — verbatim

> Most of these nodes can actually run — a NuCypher node, which costs about 280 dollars per year, can run on RockPis for 100 bucks. So you can actually host these nodes locally, so you can get high performance KMS services.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Cheap home hardware replacing cloud-hosted infrastructure — an early local-compute data point in Greg's catalog.
