So Gerry, did the project come out ahead by buying the DOT in November, selling it in January and buying it again now?

Also - to answer your question in the Discord from yesterday, there aren't a lot of reliable and reasonably-priced VPS services in South America. There are a couple good providers in Panama, but technically that's still a part of North America. I think your best bet is probably the host1plus server in Sao Paulo for a whopping $29/mo.
