Citizen Asset turns most commodity hardware around you into trusted compute building blocks for Team Compute.
Citizen Asset makes a device trustworthy and has been designed to scale from microcontrollers that cost LESS than a drink to supercomputers that cost MORE than a family home.
1. Affordable as a Drink
In line with our Compute Dignity mission, we must make Team Compute hardware so CHEAP and EASY that anyone can afford. We have put a simple design constraint onto all our entry level Trust Asset - a cup of local drink:
Cup Compute makes it affordable for everyone to start REAL ownership of infrastructure at home.
No more paying for home devices that are actually controlled by Cloud Compute remotely, with Cup Compute you can experience the advantages of having full control of the device you paid for.
Beside its cost and size, the most important feature of Cup Compute is how easy it is for everyday people to INDEPENDENTLY control 100% what it will or will not do.
Most Cloud Compute devices cannot be changed to function exactly as you like and probably will no longer work if the Cloud Compute is not available.
Compute Stations owned by different people are designed to operate together as a team to provide large scale backend computing to the Personal Consoles frontend interface running on their mobile phones.
The aim is an flexible design that turns as many as computing devices into compute stations as possible. Giving people access to computing hardware that they have PHYSICAL CONTROL of and sort out their computing efficiency later - giving data ownership back to the people is the priority.
Compute Stations are computing hardware design to be operated by ANYONE independent of their skill and wealth.
Compute Stations are well define computing devices for hosting Disposable Nodes.
They allow you to distribute your information assets in locations that make the most sense.
1. Deployment
Although the 64-bit x86 computers are generally more powerful, an increasing number of ARM computers are also supported, as lower power and lower cost alternatives in a lot of use cases.
There are many ways to deploy Compute Stations, all you need is a physical or virtual machine that can run Ubuntu Server (20.04 or 22.04) - which means most computers on earth!
Install on non Intel/AMD computers (from [Raspberry Pi to IBM Z Mainframe) - Using ISO Images.
Once you have got a newly installed Ubuntu Server online, you just need to download ONE publicly published script, run it and your Ubuntu will be come a Home Station. Yes, it is that simple.
Traditionally managing compute equipment requires a lot of technical skills, Compute Station has been designed to be deployed and maintained WITHOUT any specialised knowledge.
Once powered on it can be accessed and configured via WiFi through simple push button web page.
