For sure there's the big 2 subscription services, but there's also a lot of good indie comics(for free & paid) on globalcomix. There's a wider variety of stories than just cape stuff, but there are plenty of those too (including mine). Source: about 1 year ago

That's largely what Global Comix is. The confusing thing, though, is that it used to be clear that they had an unlimited membership program (similar to Comixology Unlimited) on their main page, which I thought was their main model for reading, but now I don't seem to see that unless I bring up a comic listing that requires payment to purchase. There's an option to join an unlimited reading program at that point,... Source: over 1 year ago

Hey! I recently learned about https://comicfury.com/, so I'm thinking about moving there. Also https://globalcomix.com/ seems to be way kinder to non-romance comics. Source: over 1 year ago

Global Comix is probably the closest alternative to Comixology Unlimited and is an entirely subscription model. It started picking up steam after the Comixology mess-up last year, but it still doesn't have many big name publishers involved (Top Cow, Heavy Metal, Humanoids, and Valiant are some of the more well known ones).

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 / about 2 months ago

Or alternatively: Boinc[1], which has a bunch of different projects. [1] https://boinc.berkeley.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

The BOINC Census is back for another year! BOINC is an open source software and network for volunteer computing. People can use it do donate their CPU/GPU power to various scientific research areas like cancer, drug discovery, mapping the galaxy, and more. Source: 7 months ago

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 / 7 months ago
