I once came across an even more ridiculous Turkish provider called DPnet. Their hardware was literally 30 years outdated, and they shut down and disappeared just a month and a half after operating.
Dartnode seems better！Lol…
yeah, the queueing system is a big mess. I had the same issue in 2024 sales
What plan did you get/pay?
Wtf is that??
The script scalping was probably the reason for your issue. Way to support the bad guys!
Make a fork and deploy a copy, in honor of Daniel:

They were running OG pentiums?
Maybe he felt bad for the guy. Imagine chasing after lowend VPS deals to make $1.50 on each.
He said:
No, he outright supported the scalper since it saved him time. The scalper used a script, a big Fuck You to the humans in the queue.
So what you mean is that I should just keep queuing for hours and end up with nothing in the end? As a consumer, am I supposed to pay the price for an unreasonable promotional campaign by the company? If you really want to combat scalpers, you should develop an anti-bot script to block them, instead of foolishly blocking normal users like this.
You should spend more time working on improving the situation rather than wasting time on pointless arguing.
$1.5 is essentially meaningless and nothing more than a symbolic charge. As a consumer, I don’t care where I get the product from. If the official promotion were fair and reasonable, no one would turn to scalpers.
Honestly, you are one of the types of people I dislike the most. It’s like saying that buying a leather bag would cause the extinction of animals. In that case, I’d suggest you stop breathing, because every second you are killing tens of thousands of microorganisms in the air.
If you really despise scalpers, go deal with them directly. Go and provide effective anti-bot solutions to companies, instead of coming here and dumping meaningless complaints on consumers.
For me, I simply need to purchase the product. Obviously, I have found a way to save time, and for me that is a success. As for you—so obsessed with scalpers yet unable to do anything about them—you can only keep complaining endlessly here and morally lecturing consumers.
so poor guy😤
Has the $99 product been released yet?
Yesterday’s event was suspended due to technical issues. At first, it was said it would resume after one hour, but that never happened. Fortunately, I didn’t keep waiting.
@Hayzee It’s the DartDay VPS-3 promo plan. I spent hours fighting that broken live queue just to secure it, paid $13.99/year, and then had to wait over 12 full hours just for it to finally go online. Honestly, I think I'm one of the "lucky" ones—there are still tons of people who paid but their servers are still stuck in provisioning limbo. At this rate, it feels like they are deliberately delaying deployments until the post-event rush dies down, probably just to prevent a flood of bad benchmarks from crashing the thread during the live stream.
And yes, @Saragoldfarb , "Wtf is that??" was exactly my reaction when the benchmark finished. 💀
A 900Mbps network pipeline coupled with a 404 IOPS disk is peak comedy. It’s essentially a high-speed fiber cable directly connected to a potato. If anyone still wants to take over this piece of modern art via a support ticket transfer, my DM is open!
Wow, @yoursunny , I am truly honored! Building a dedicated GitHub repo just to immortalize Daniel's architectural masterpiece is a legendary move. 👑
freaky-fast-digital-comamight be the most accurately named open-source repository of 2026. It perfectly captures the essence of this VPS: the network makes you feel like you are flying, right until the disk I/O hits you and puts your entire SSH session into a permanent vegetative state.I'm definitely going to fork it. Though I'll have to pray that my server's disk can actually handle the massive I/O stress of running
git clonewithout throwing anotherConnection reseterror.In honor of Daniel, may our packets fly fast and our read/write heads rust in peace! 🥂
Update: I just noticed the tiny text at the bottom of @yoursunny 's post: "Frozen Continent Email — spam allowed".
I went back to check my DartNode dashboard, and holy moly, the SMTP limits are an absolute joke (see image below if you need a good laugh).
They proudly announce Port 25 is "Enabled", but then they put a hard cap at 100 emails/hour and 500 emails/day per ACCOUNT.
Seriously? Even a free, zero-dollar tier custom domain email provider (like Zoho Free or any basic mailbox) gives you a higher daily sending quota than this. What am I supposed to do with a 500-daily email limit on a full KVM VPS? Send a single newsletter and then put the mail server into a "Digital Coma" for the next 24 hours?
Daniel really outdid himself this time. A 9 Gbps network pipe, 5 IOPS storage, and an email limit that chokes faster than a dial-up modem. This node is truly an all-round comedic masterpiece!
Some have very fast read and write speeds, while others are very slow, which is quite puzzling.
@AdamWilliam It’s actually not that puzzling—it's just a classic case of the "Host Node Lottery" combined with zero I/O isolation. If you win the lottery, you get assigned to a fresh, empty node with decent speeds. If you lose, you end up on the same overcrowded "rust bucket" node as me.
In fact, I just re-ran the fio benchmark a few minutes ago, and the plot thickens. The performance managed to degrade even further:
We officially dropped from a 404 "Not Found" error to a sub-300 IOPS sub-basement. I think my disk read/write heads are literally rubbing against sand at this point.
@yoursunny Your GitHub repo name is becoming more prophetic by the hour. This isn't just a
freaky-fast-digital-comaanymore; my VM has officially entered brain death. I’m starting to wonder if copying the git clone URL into the terminal might count as a DDoS attack against my own storage array.For anyone who managed to get a "very fast" instance, enjoy your honeymoon period before the rest of the 1,400 queue-jumpers get provisioned onto your node! 🍿
