Q All right. Fair enough. How do you make money?
A Yeah, good question. So today we give a hundred percent of the value your computer generates to you. Uh, so we project a balance to you, and then our business model exists within that positive cash cycle. So You know, the tens of thousands of nodes on the network right now, we are the custodians for all the value. So there is an element of breakage there. There's some abandoned, abandoned balance. Uh, but then there's also, um, reward distribution margins. So that money that your computer generates, you can only spend it through our storefront, our, our network, and we take a margin from that spend. So that's representative of today. Um, where we're going in future is looking to aggregate a lot of different workloads. The cost of our compute is around one fifth, again, per teraflop, uh, per hour of an AWS spot instance. So there's margins on the compute side further down the line. We're working on some really exciting projects on that front.

Q Do you have to go negotiate every one of these deals with Amazon, with discord, with anything you list in your marketplace? That feels like a huge BD operation.
A Oh, mate. Real, uh, for us scaling right now. So, so our vision is not to become another e-commerce marketplace. Um, we want to be the easiest and most trusted way to share your computer. Like we're the experts at extracting that value. So today we work with a couple of different suppliers, uh, that provide all these different games, provide all these different gift cards. So, so we're able to kind of consolidate down the relationship to a few, but things like discord, we have a direct relationship with them. Subscriptions wholesale at a wholesale price and then distribute them. But ultimately, I mean, you've described what's next for us in our go to market strategy. We want to build an SDK that allows other people, game publishers, studios, you know, content creators to extract the value of, of their install base of those PCs so that we don't have to deal with inventory.
