So Skynet, but it lets you rent parts of itself? I'm sure someone is writing an ICO whitepaper for this right now, if they haven't already...

- nostrademons 8y agoEOS: https://eos.io/ https://eos.io/ Raised $2.7B in its ICO, currently trading at a market cap of $10B. FileCoin: https://filecoin.io/ https://filecoin.io/ Raised $257M in its ICO. Tezos: https://tezos.com/ https://tezos.com/ Raised $232M in its ICO. Those are the 3 largest ICOs of all time, so yes, there is definitely a market for renting part of Skynet. The actual technology may or may not be vaporware or a scam. IMHO the way you build a decentralized P2P system is to give a single really smart programmer enough to live on for a couple years and see what he comes up with, not throw a billion dollars at a Cayman Islands corporation that may or may not use it for anything productive. Sorta like what Ethereum did.
- tlrobinson 8y agoAre any of those platforms suitable for running deep learning algorithms? I think Golem is closer https://golem.network/ https://golem.network/ And some others: https://www.investinblockchain.com/distributed-computing-blockchain-projects/ https://www.investinblockchain.com/distributed-computing-blo... But I'm skeptical of distributed computing blockchains. I think a) it's unlikely a distributed compute network can compete with highly optimized datacenters running TPUs or whatever, b) people are unlikely to trust distributed compute networks with their proprietary data (maybe acceptable for CGI rendering and some other specific use-cases)
