Can you use GeForce cards and then make us pinky swear to only use it for blockchain processing applications? This is what LeaderGPU does (https://www.leadergpu.com/#chose-best), and they had even lower pricing.
Although lately they have had demand outstrip supply.
Hetzner used to have GTX 1080 instances for about $100 a month, no longer though, and I'm lucky to be grandfathered in to about 8 of them.
I told myself a couple years ago that compute will only get cheaper over time. In reality, compute has gotten MORE expensive over time! I cannot match or scale the compute price I locked in a couple years ago with Hetzner. Some of that is the crypto market raising GPU prices, but it is also NVIDIA's licensing making their cheaper cards unavailable in cloud servers...
