Considering for hosting. One concern is that I have to expose my IP address to unknown users. I don't know if it's possible, but it will be great that if I can hide my location and purely lend my GPU with less security concerns.

You don't need to expose your IP address at all! The AI/ML researchers can only connect to one of our proxy servers instead of directly connecting to your machine. This means hosts do not have to mess with port forwarding or networking (even if your computer is behind a university firewall, you can still be a host!)

Wow that's great! Another question. It is always possible that I have some downtime (unstable network connection, accidentally shutdown my pc, power outage, etc) and it may become unfair that users having significantly less downtime (better network, UPS, etc) having same earnings with users with much more downtime. Is there any plan to deal with such kind of concern?

By the way, Vectordash is the most interesting idea & service I have seen in a while :)
