S there room for a VPN with zero Five Eyes servers and RAM-only infrastructure?

I've been building on AWS for years and got deep into privacy/networking recently. The more I learned, the more I realized most VPN providers are theatre. The problem I see: "no-logs" is meaningless if your servers are physically in the US, UK, Canada or Australia. A warrant is a warrant. Even providers I respect like Mullvad and Proton have servers in Five Eyes countries. What I'm thinking: - Servers only in Iceland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Romania, Japan - RAM-only — no disk, no logs possible by design, reboot wipes everything - WireGuard - Open source, annual Cure53 audit - BTC/Monero, no account required Break even is around 200-300 customers. Infrastructure to start is maybe $500-1000/month. Honest question: does Mullvad already own this positioning well enough that there's no room? Or is "zero Five Eyes + provably no logs" a real differentiator for a specific segment? Also curious if anyone has experience running infrastructure businesses in Iceland or Luxembourg specifically.

New ask Hacker News story: EVM-UI – visual tool to interact with EVM-based smart contracts

EVM-UI – visual tool to interact with EVM-based smart contracts 21 by magnusgraviti | 8 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! We've built https://evm-ui.com, a free tool that allows you to interact with smart contracts visually. It started as an internal project while building Web3 apps for clients — we needed something more flexible and lightweight than Remix or Etherscan's UI. Unlike Etherscan or Polygonscan, you don't need to verify and open-source your smart contract to get a working UI. Paste the ABI (or load it from a template) and proceed. With EVM-UI, you can - Import contracts by address + ABI, or paste ABIs directly - Read/write functions with auto-generated UI (supports all Solidity types, including arrays) - Execute actions with smart inputs (dropdowns, min/max helpers, etc.) - Switch between EVM chains, testnets, or local RPCs within one workspace - Use developer tools (Keccak256, ABI encoder/decoder, address utils) - Share environments with your team and your cl...
