The delegates are presently on cloud servers because they performed poorly on laptop and home PCs. It is possible to run the network from home computers, its just slower and only has a 75% forging rate (for my computer anyway).
So its still possible that pc can have very good uptime its just most present delegate use cloud. We just need some more delegate or standby delegate to try.
I can not have a reliable pc run 24 hours now or I would test it.
But lets assume most pc can not uptime better than 75% isn't this something Boris should try and fix? If it is fixable?
For crypti to scale in the future is not important for pc to reliably forge with high uptime for delegate?
Again maybe it is just Litoshi pc and internet that is not perform well. We should see if others can forge well with pc.
Otherwise fix it if it can.
I think for now we should look only a year into the future. If we have a dozens of times more volume than Bitcoin, I think we will have the capacities to re-structure the system.
For now we don't have the capacities and will use the system we have now, which is very good for the size we have and will have in the next few years. It's already very scaleable. If we will grow to such a big size some day, that the decentralization is a very important role, bc governments wants to shut us down, we will think of something different.
Also, if Crypti really would be used to move "hundred billion" a day, then we have to make entirely new decisions. Like block size and blockchain size.
