# Trust Hardware

Citizen Asset enables trustworthy hardware to be built by citizens working together.

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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcontroller) that cost LESS than a drink to [supercomputers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercomputer) that cost MORE than a family home.

## 1. Affordable as a Drink

In line with our [Compute Dignity](https://computedignity.com) 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:

1. costs [LESS](https://discuss.88.io/t/cup-compute/1710/3) than a cup of coffee
2. customises in [LESS](https://discuss.88.io/t/cup-compute/1710/7) time than making a cup of coffee.
3. fits [INSIDE](https://discuss.88.io/t/cup-compute/1710/4) a coffee cup

\*above based on price of a cup of coffee at AU$4.50 and making a cup of coffee takes 5 minutes.

## 1. Version

For the year 2025, Radio Marker is our [Wireless Station 2025a](https://discuss.88.io/t/wireless-station-2025a/1168) (WS25a).

## 2. Purpose

Radio Marker 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 Radio Marker 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 Radio Marker 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.

## 3. Advantages

1. [Cheap Postage](https://discuss.88.io/t/cup-compute/1710/2)
2. [Low Cost](https://discuss.88.io/t/cup-compute/1710/3)
3. [Small Size](https://discuss.88.io/t/cup-compute/1710/4)
4. [Low Power](https://discuss.88.io/t/cup-compute/1710/5)
5. [Battery Optionsl](https://discuss.88.io/t/cup-compute/1710/6)
6. [Build Clusters](https://discuss.88.io/t/cup-compute/1710/7)
7. [Free Samples](https://discuss.88.io/t/cup-compute/1710/8) (limited time)

Compute Stations owned by different people are designed to operate together as a team to provide large scale backend computing to the [Personal Consoles](https://personalconsole.com) 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.

There are currently 4 types of compute stations:

1. Peripheral Station - sensors and actuators
2. Mesh Station - network and storage
3. Home Station - private compute
4. Campus Station - shared compute

They allow you to distribute your information assets in locations that make the most sense.

# 1. Deployment

Although the [64-bit x86](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64) computers are generally more powerful, an increasing number of [ARM computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture) 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](https://ubuntu.com/server) (20.04 or 22.04) - which means most computers on earth!

1. Repurpose spare laptops or second hand desktop computers - [Boot up using USB stick](https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-server#3-boot-from-install-media).
2. Run inside existing Windows or macOS or Linux computers - [Using Virtual Machines](https://multipass.run/).
3. Install on non Intel/AMD computers (from [Raspberry Pi to IBM Z Mainframe) - [Using ISO Images](https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/20.04/release/).

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.

# 2. Turnkey Systems

You can either build it yourself or have [someone build it for you](https://oztralia.com).

# Interface

Push Button Interface

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.

Currently the web page is created with the open sourced OliveTin software:

# Double Protection

Docker in LXC trade small functional lost with massive increase insecurity.

| Chat, models and skills | Works | Works |
| Browser Use/CDP | Works | Works |
| noVNC and visible Chrome | Works | Works |
| Screenshot/coordinate Computer Use | Works | Works |
| Semantic AT-SPI controls | Degraded | Expected to work fully |
| Access to arbitrary LXC files | Only mounted paths | Full LXC access |
| Manage systemd/Caddy/NetBird | No | Yes |
| Install persistent OS packages | Requires rebuilding image | Directly with `apt` |
| Control other native GUI applications | No | Yes |
| Access hardware/devices | Only explicitly passed devices | Available according to LXC permissions |
