Home Compute Station
Home Compute Station (also referred to as "Home Station" or just "HS") provides PRIVATE compute power to individuals.
Minimum Hardware Specification
Whether buying new or repurposing old computers, the following are the minimum hardware specifications for a Home Station:
- Processor: 64-bit
- Memory: 1 GBytes
- Disk: 64 GBytes
- USB: 1 x USB 2.0
- WiFi: 802.11n
- Bluetooth: 4.2
Note only x86-64 and ARM64 hardware are currently supported.
Minimum Software Specification
Home Station are tried as a single Disposable Nodes under the Compute Asset paradigm, currently supported operating systems are:
Reference Designs
There are millions of single board computers out there gathering dust - repurpose them into Home Stations!
For those who want to have a more turnkey experience, we have 2 reference designs available to give away or to be purchased:
- Orange Pi Zero 3 running Armbian (HS24a)
- Raspberry Pi 4B running Raspberry Pi OS (HS24b)
HS24a is a low-end Home Station for early Citizen Startups that do NOT have much resources.
Compute Owner
Compute Owners gain 40+ advantages over Compute Users with ONE CLICK.
SEE more, DO more, EARN more. Evolve from a Compute User into a Compute Owner with ONE CLICK.
Realise the VALUE of your data by evolving from a compute User to a compute Owner.
Transfer the VALUE of your data from compute services to your own compute assets with just ONE CLICK.
Transfer Compute Assets built with your data from Cloud Services to you with just ONE CLICK.
No skill nor wealth required, evolve from a compute user to a compute owner with just ONE CLICK.
Why Compute Asset?
Compute Asset breaks the global Cloud Compute Bottleneck by removing all skill and cost barriers to compute ownership. Everyone (from refugees to billionaires) can regain data security and asset lost to Cloud Compute in ONE CLICK.
While there are plenty of cool tech, Citizen Compute is not just about technology. Citizen Compute is a global movement to evolve every Compute User into a Compute Owner, giving people the compute power to process their own data themselves, enabling everyone to benefit from the exponentially improving information technologies (from blockchain to artificial intelligence) equitably.
Compute Equity Movement
Private Cyberspace is a new compute paradigm that provides compute power to EVERYONE, from refugees to billionaires,
breaking the compute oligopoly
to break free from cloud control by processing their data by Importing Compute instead of Exporting Data to the cloud.
control your digital life by computing yourself and interacting directly
In order to provide abundant compute to everyone, no matter their wealth or knowledge levels, SKILL and COST barriers to Citizen Compute are removed by breaking up monolithic Cloud Platforms into billions of independent personal applications and community infrastructures.
-
No Skill Barrier
Non-technical owners can customise their Private Cyberspaces with millions of software application by simply mixing and matching them like toy bricks. -
No Cost Barrier
Owners can aggregated the latent infrastructures worldwide to
Will your Private Cyberspaces have enough compute ?
Experience Citizen Compute . . . with just ONE CLICK.
2. What is Private Cyberspace?
Compute Transfer asset and control from Cloud Platforms to you.
Private Cyberspace gives you an exclusive space to store and add value to your data, transforming you from an information user of cloud platform assets to an information owner with your own assets.
You are not longer a PASSIVE user building up CLOUD platform assets, you are now an ACTIVE owner building up YOUR own assets in your Private Cyberspace.
Similar to the benefits of owning traditional assets:
- owning your home (instead of staying in a rented room)
- driving your car (instead of waiting for buses or taxis)
the benefits of upgrading from a cloud platform user to a Cyberspace owner are substantial - Private Cyberspace can improve your digital life in more than 40 amazing ways.
As an analogy, many people cannot leave abusive relationships because they have no where to stay, Private Cyberspace gives your data a secure and productive place to stay, so you have the ability and confidence to leave the existing abusive relationship with the Cloud Platforms, with just ONE CLICK.
How does Private Cyberspace work?
Import Compute instead of Export Data
Data is not useful by itself, it needs compute power to process it in order to create value.
Information Asset = Compute + Data
- Currently DATA is given to those with COMPUTE power (Cloud Platforms)
- Private Cyberspace gives COMPUTE power to those with DATA (you)
Private Cyberspace reverses the current data processing flow, instead of having to export your data to cloud platforms for processing, you import compute to process your data yourself ... with just ONE CLICK.
Instead of the Cloud both storing and processing your data to create information asset for itself, you now store data in your Private Cyberspace and , processed in ways you have control
With Private Cyberspace you take back control of your digital life, data from every minute of your day is used to build up YOUR digital assets, instead of building up the Cloud's digital assets.
Beyond interacting within your immediate surroundings (the few metres that your eyes can see, hands can reach), the cyberspace has largely taken over most interactions you have in the physical space. The detrimental impact Cloud Platforms have on your digital world passes straight to your physical world.
However, unlike the physical space there is little diversity of ownership in the cyberspace, billions of individuals are interacting on dozens cloud platforms.
Transfer asset and control from Cloud Platforms to you.
A cyberspace that is owned by just a just few service providers affect your life (from what you buy to what you think) in many negative ways. For example:
- the technical progress of the world's population is limited to the innovations made by just a few cloud platforms.
- individuals with different aspirations, cultures, interests etc. are confined to operate under the same set of rules (algorithms) on cloud platforms.
- cloud services are based on platform profits instead of user interests.
Without much competition in the cyberspace, ALL major cloud platforms (Apple, Google, Meta etc.) take money from 3rd parties in order to alter your behaviour (e.g. through advertisements, recommendations, influencers etc.) in ways that are advantageous to the 3rd party - not to you.
3. Back to the Future
Similar to what the microprocessor did to the mainframes 50 years ago, Private Cyberspace enables the massive global decentralisation of computing.
It is ironic that the companies that once drives the decentralisation computing efforts in the 1970s (e.g. Apple, Microsoft) are now dominant in driving the centralisation efforts.
Private Cyberspace reintroduces decentralised personal computing, so people can once again build up and control their own information spaces, just like their physical spaces e.g. their homes!
