Cloudsmash VS Golem

Looking again, he _mentions_ what he told his children, but it's written on Bitcoin Talk. > "My bitcoins are stored in our safe deposit box, and my son and daughter are tech savvy. I think they're safe enough. I'm comfortable with my legacy." [0] It doesn't invalidate that he created Bitcoin, but what he wrote over the years sounds much more like a devoted hobbyist who was far from extremely wealthy, for example... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790.msg28917#msg28917 You can see here in one of Satoshi's last posts that he envisaged that bitcoin users would likely prefer to keep the block size small, and why. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

It's not unheard of for funds to be missent to an address that was in the senders clipboard for some other reason, though the amount is more remarkable. It's also not particularly remarkable to send small amounts to that address-- its been done many times-- and it's not unheard of for people to make errors in the amounts they pay. Elsewhere I've advanced a couple more complex theories which probably fail occam's... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

> odyssey is a custom blockchain project built from scratch in Rust. It aims to provide a simple and educational example of how a blockchain operates and its fundamental components. Reminds me of Grin, another blockchain project built from scratch in Rust, focussing on simplicity [1].

Golem, develop Docker applications and make use of their (now) very limited features. It's best suited for heavy calculations, or calculations you can split up between dozens or hundreds of nodes through sharding. A fork is working on bringing GPU & internet access, but it can be hard otherwise. They have a GLM Rewards Program that - generously rewards up to 20 users per month under regular conditions.

For compute, my experience has been the best with Akash, then Golem, then I have been unsuccessful with any other project as of yet. Both of these supports Docker images, but Golem is painfully thorough with securing providers with sandboxing in both networking and workloads. This makes Akash easier to use right now when wanting to run something more advanced such as a custom backend or a Minecraft Server. Source: over 1 year ago

If you want to run scientific calculations or similar, I highly recommend Golem. Right now, its best applications are ones that can scale by sharding, to use parallel computations. Think doing 100 similar small jobs on 100 computers instead of 1 large job on 1 computer. One average CPU-month costs $3.17, or you can rent 100 CPU-hours for $0.44. Notable examples are blender_cuda which runs on a GPU, and the... Source: over 1 year ago

If you're not using your computer, you can consider letting other people use it! Come checkout golem, a distributed super computer similar to Folding@Home, but for all kinds of computation not just protein research. You even earn some money and it's really easy to get started.

This is where the math of VPS on demand for testing vs home starts to matter. OR higher buy in but lower ongoing is SBC boards. Raspberry pi, turingpi, ION whatever boards from nvidia. All have higher cost, more limited abilities (in some ways) but FOR SURE are way lower power/heat than traditional low initial cost/higher ongoing. It's a common issue. Getting yourself a NAS or ESOS or SAN or whatever as an always... Source: over 2 years ago
