• Bitcoin Block 840000

  The only way I can foresee a cryptocoin actually holding value is if spending the coin meant spending processing cycles and RAM doing things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects But in more general sense, less like https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ and more like AWS... It's the only way to have value, actually holding computing power in a distributed network. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: What should I do with my leftover bandwidth?

  A few years back, I was in a similar situation and found BOINC(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) to be a great way to contribute. It's a platform that lets you support various scientific research projects by sharing your computational power and bandwidth. However, it's worth noting that BOINC might tends to be more CPU/GPU intensive rather than bandwidth-heavy. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

  With all that said... There will ALWAYS be edge case scenarios where Pantheon DOESN'T work, But I'm sure that would happen with Acquia also. Or platform.sh... Source: over 1 year ago

• Why does Acquia cost more than Pantheon?

  There's also https://platform.sh/ -- I think of them as a trio. How do they compare with the other two? Source: over 1 year ago
