Which incidentally is all you ever sell when you sell software or other digital goods. For "property" to be relevant, the government would need to know about it. In which case he should do nothing with it. | |

| Mar 21, 2019 at 15:28 | comment | added | Ville Niemi | @TeleportingGoat Well, the story needs a villain. And getting to choose who it is is kind of nice for the main character. It would actually work pretty well for a genre savvy character. Although the question does not actually say that story logic applies, so I did not include that in the answer. | |
| Mar 21, 2019 at 10:19 | comment | added | Teleporting Goat | Why sell your power to someone who will instanstly become the villain of the story? That's the worst decision you can make. | |

If you can get the same result by placing your equipment anywhere in the world and communicating via a couple of geosynchronous satellite hops for all transmission delay cares, that alone could save some serious money... | |

| Mar 19, 2019 at 14:22 | comment | added | David Rice | HFT wouldn't be impacted by a browser, because the browser's latency is far too high. Regular speed trading (i.e. trading that's more than a second long) would be much more impacted. | |
