Planning to take a $50/mo 10Gbps Kansas City dedi for Seedbox slots – looking for early commitments

Codec

Hi everyone,

I’m a Chinese programmer who likes buying servers and building services on them in my free time. I’ve been using and experimenting with various setups for a while.
Recently I saw a dedicated server listed for transfer on another forum:

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1270 v6 (4C/8T)
RAM: 32GB DDR4
Storage: 4 × 8TB HDD (32TB raw) – drives have relatively high power-on hours
Network: 10Gbps unmetered
IPs: /29 (5 usable IPv4)
Location: Kansas City, USA
Price: $50/month

I’m considering taking it over and turning it into a small Seedbox service (shared slots). Before I commit, I want to gauge real interest first.
Preliminary plan (open to adjustment):

Split into roughly 6–8 slots (depending on final usable space after RAID)
Target storage per slot: around 2–3TB
Price idea: $12–15 / month per slot
Includes basic apps (qBittorrent / ruTorrent, etc.)
Payment via crypto preferred, other methods possible

What I’m looking for:

If I can get solid interest from at least 4–5 people who are willing to pay, I will:

Take over the server

Live-stream / document the full setup process (RAID, Seedbox panel, isolation, etc.)
Build a simple payment + management page
Start selling the slots

I’m not looking to make big money — mainly want to cover the $50 cost and gain some practical experience running a small shared service.

A few honest notes:

Location is USA (Kansas City), so DMCA risk is higher than NL/FR.
HDDs are not new, so I plan to run RAID6 for safety.
This is a small personal project, not a big commercial operation.

If you’re interested, please reply with:

How much storage you roughly need
Preferred price range
Any features you care about (Plex, specific apps, etc.)

Also very welcome any suggestions — better pricing, different slot sizes, RAID advice, panel recommendations, or anything else. I’m open to feedback.

Thanks for reading. Looking forward to your thoughts.
