Vast.ai VS Truebit

There are already ways to get around this. For example, renting compute from people who aren't in datacenters. Which is already a thing: https://vast.ai. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

By "SETI" I assume you mean the SETI@Home distributed computing project. There's a two-way market where you can rent out your GPU here: https://vast.ai/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Have you considered running on a cloud machine instead? You can rent machines on https://vast.ai/ for under $1 an hour that should work for small/medium models (I've mostly been playing with stable diffusion so I don't know what you'd need for an LLM off hand). Good GPUs and Apple hardware is pricey. Get a bit of automation setup with some cloud storage (e.g backblaze B2) and you can have a machine ready to run... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

For a more decentralized approach, TrueBit offers a solution for off-chain computation. It involves solvers and verifiers who perform computations and verify them. In case of a challenge, an iterative verification process takes place on-chain. Ethereum miners act as judges to make a final ruling. TrueBit creates a computation market where decentralized applications can pay for verifiable computation outside of the... - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

Yes, it is on truebit.io site: "Truebit combines with bulletproofs to achieve compact, zero-knowledge proofs without trusted setup. ". Source: over 1 year ago
