Some of these arguments seem weird. Like yes, it's very cold, but it also has no atmosphere, so it's very hard to bleed the heat away.

Is the fact that the moon isn't protected from radiation and covered in impact craters not indicative of its poor suitability?

Nope you're wrong. Lonestar has this all figured out. They even have a landing page and dramatic promo video, which is a clear sign of how much due diligence they put in after receiving their oversubscribed $5M seed investment.

not having an atmosphere also means way higher data corruption rate...

If you want it cold, just put your datacenter in Antarctica. Be right back, getting my YCombinator pitch deck ready.

People already put datacentres in Iceland.

The proposal has many problem, but I don't think this is one of them:

Bury your computers under a few metres of regolith. Gravity on the moon is only a sixth of earth's, so it's relatively easy to pile up or dig down.
