no sales teams, no estimates, no curated prices. individuals plug a rig into the wall, name a price, and the market clears. this is the tape: live p2p gpu rentals, cross-market arbitrage, the retail cloud index — so you can see the landlord tax — the peer grid, and hashpower. every number on this page was pulled from a live public api within the last sixty seconds.

clore's floor is bottom-tier hosts — some carry minimum-rental terms, and the vetting is thinner than vast's verified tier. that gap is not an error, it is the price of trust. the same card clears at three prices an api call apart; wide spreads are the market telling you it is still young.

every price on this page is a person. a rig in a spare bedroom in vietnam, a basement in ontario, a datacenter cage someone rents by the month. no bundling, no enterprise agreements, no "contact sales" — plug in, name a price, clear. the people below built the machine this market trades in. this page is just the arithmetic, in their honor.
