Thanks for any help

If you have a PC with a decent amount of RAM (2GB or more) you might download and install VirtualBox (free open source virtualization software). This will enable you to run virtual machines on your PC. Install Linux or Windows in a VirtualBox virtual machine. Otherwise sign up with Amazon Web Services and use their EC2 service to boot up a VPS. It costs a few cents an hour. Try a Google search to find answers to any questions you might have.

Virtual Private Servers & Cloud Servers are essentially computers located somewhere else...usually in a server farm in a big city...Some people advise traders to install their trading software on a VPS closer to the exchange in order to get better executions...The truth is that nearly all of the VPS & Cloud Servers are SHARED...which means that you will be sharing the servers resources (CPU, hard drives & transmission hardware) with what could be dozens or 100s of other users! If another user is taxing the server, you could be out of luck! Most of the servers on server farms these days are middle to lower end machines, (many of which are refurbished) with older processors that server farms can buy in bulk...Sadly the chance of getting better executions is overshadowed by this truth...Unless you have 100's of thousands of dollars to buy your own hardware, pay someone to maintain it and a location to rent next to the exchange server, you won't see any benefit.....and even if you were able to afford it the benefit received would be questionable at best.....

    • “If the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it won’t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It won’t be because we weren’t smart enough or didn’t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts don’t share with us: fear of AI.   The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us.   In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans."   This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services.   The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation.   While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete.   Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.” – Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
