That's his point...
OVH has a piece of shit peering as well, outside their own network / region...Many countries have bad speeds for both national and international connections, but they aren't banning them, are they?

No, he meant 8 months. Sharky reported 8 months of planning, the youtube video reported 1 year of planning. When in fact, people ditched ScL to work for SeX a month ago, as you mentioned. Just ask ss.you mean 1 month?
Ellipses go here.

the site has been planned for around 8 months yes, but the work (with sctbdev) started 1-2 months ago..

The reason these two countries are banned from signing up, is simply because the ISP’s in both countries have a good connection inside those countries, but a terrible connection outside of their own countries.
.ro has awesome connection inside and very good external connection. And even if .ro and .il didn't have good speeds that is simply not a reason to ban a country.
l33t wannabe tracker ...
very good start btw.

most of the trackers ask for money in these hard days
“The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.”

If you want to build up a successful new scene tracker you firstly need money. You need to pay for the warez and you need to pay for the bandwith and space to deliver them fast. All the cheaper methods used to work when there were like 10-20 scene trackers around, but not nowadays with hundreds of 0-day trackers competing with each other.
A gateway to the scene used to be something special. Nowadays popular scene releases can be downloaded literally on every tracker with decent speeds.
You should be able to pay for at least four month upfront out of your own pockets. Even established old trackers struggle with donations. It's going to be hard to build a new userbase that is dedicated enough to finance a tracker that offers oversupplied goods. We're talking about breaking even, not profit.
The advantage of course is, that with former ScL members the site already has a more or less dedicated userbase. Still the first goal should be to get at least 10,000 users on the tracker. That's easier said than done. Many new trackers have a hard time to reach their maximum user limit.
If you want donations, you got to track more/different files than other sites or you got to offer them faster. In case of a scene tracker that means you need to invest more money for access, seedboxes etc. The times where a new scene tracker could survive with a user based upload and distribution model are over.
In about 6-8 months we'll see how it worked.
NevertheIess I appreciate that former ScL staff are willing to take that hard journey and I wish the tracker good luck.
