What criteria are you using for this? Eg

ease of set up (RS would be easy)
location (US for some reason?)
security from being forced to disclose data (I mean as it’s all encrypted I’m not sure if this is an issue - but maybe there is meta data that could be forced to hand over), if so maybe Switzerland. I notice that’s where proton mail setup.

uh, at the moment Scuttlebutt is more a public record, only private messages are encrypted and they are still "on the record" (connected to everything else on the record).

Oh right - so you don’t need a key to decrypt the record? That seems like a basic misunderstanding I have had of how ssb works.

In that case I’d say in the long run the jurisdiction of the service company for peach cloud should be in a location that has strong data protection laws/leanings.

For now it’s what ever is easiest for you.

@ahdinosaur you are Root Systems as much as any of us - if you want to use the company as shell for now in the same way as Tapin and TTB have I think you have the agency/mandate to to decide this. The only considerations I will want to check are operational risks and is insurance coverage needed.

If the question is more "does Root Systems want to pickup and run the businesses of peachclound - that will need a broader conversation on rolls and responsibilities. We could have this conversation at our retreat next week :)
