I gave you my email address before coming here and reading the comments. Now I regret it.
I feel like the representatives of GoScale here are not doing themselves much good. They offer vague answers and hand-wavy descriptions. We all get that you have trade secrets. But If your business is jeopardized by just describing how your infrastructure works, that should worry you.
This is your "Show HN." You chose to do this. You should be generating excitement and buzz. I suggest taking a look at how Dropbox or even Tarsnap have talked about infrastructure in comparison to how you're doing it here. Talk about what you've built. It will spark respect and excitement around your brand. Lots of people have a real affection for Dropbox. That doesn't happen on accident.
I'm sure my advice here isn't unequivocally good. But it's a counterpoint I think you should consider.
Fair enough. I can see your point. We'll try and do that.
Rather than talk much, at this stage, about what we've built we decided to make it a priority to make the service available sooner, rather than later, so people can test it, break it and benchmark it.
Our purpose is not generate buzz but more, right now, to engage with people who want to try out the technology at this early stage.

I suspect that group of people (those who want to try the early stage) intersects enormously with the group of people put off by hand-wavey dismissals of concerns about the infrastructure they use.
What you've built is cool, but you're selling to sceptical and curious early adopters. Keep that in mind.
