2. Service branch propsal for new hardware for capsul?

j3s makes a motion to propose up to $3,000 on new capsul hardware at j3s and forest's discretion, starless seconds (discussion of item below)

- baikal cost $1500, we want more than 2x the bounce, and expect to pay about 3k for it. Expected is probably $2500.

- do we want a fundraising event to help cover server?

- logo/merch?

- is there a way to update current hardware? no, maxed out.

- is there a timeline constraint? Is this is a 'today' question?

- We enabled our new 3 IP allocations, we maxed out 2, we flipped on our third IP block two weeks ago

- Our new IP block is about 20% full already, we expect to run out of space in the next 2 months or so

- One-time allocation of hardware purchase

- Hardware comes to MN folks, we set it up, then we ship it to Georgia, and then they put it in as soon as they get it. About 2 weeks turnaround process

- Can we have a set up party?

- No need for approval for a fundraiser.
