Meeting hears concerns about small GPU hookups and distributed nodes on private property

A meeting participant raised a question about extremely small‑scale GPU hookups contracted with individual property owners — a model in which companies pay homeowners to host small GPU units. The speaker (S5) said these contracts can pay "close to 20 some thousand dollars a year to the property owner" and would distribute computing nodes rather than concentrating capacity in large warehouses.

Grant McClure said he was not familiar with the practice and would need to look into it. The meeting noted zoning could be used to regulate such installations and that novel business models may require new local code language or permit review if they proliferate.
