I haven't, thanks you for bringing it to my attention.

Is your machine state persistent between connections ?

EDIT: well, I tried to join and the signup ask me for my phone number. I already disliked that, but tried anyway. Every time I tried to setup a machine, the site answered:

"This machine type has not been approved for this account yet. Tell us a bit more about your use case and we will prioritize your request. A member of our support team will approve your request shortly".

Yeah, my request is that I'm a paying customer, I don't want to justify myself for the privilege of paying for their service, thank you very much.

So, no, I don't think I will try paperspace.

Sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with them. I think they ask about the use case to avoid things like crypto mining and such. I've typically just responded with "graphics rendering" or "gaming" and I get approved within an hour.

To answer your earlier question: yes, the machine state persists. I think I pay $5 per machine per 50GB drive space per month. So it works out around $5 per month, plus the hourly cost of the machine.

I hope you're able to persist and try them out. I've been very impressed when I've needed to use it.
