I only mentioned that because of a parent comment linking to the token price on coinmarketcap. Definitely, we don't want to be seen as a crypto project (the reputation for crypto is horrible). And would love to help/promote using fiat too

And we are as, I mentioned, in other comments building fiat-based solutions, and some of our users built platforms based on fiat.

So are you going to get rid of the token completely or just offer fiat as an alternative?

You'll never not be a crypto project as long as you keep the tokenomics

We mainly use this token as a utilization token (credit points if you want to say) just to feed the too many transactions

That is a non-answer, I'll assume you will be keeping the crypto and staying a crypto company

I'm saying in the current system we need to represent the usage of storage units and compute units per second to a fixed number you can call it tokens or points that in the system it moves around I don't think we can do dollar billing per hour right? we need a fraction of that

Let me rephrase, and please excuse my English as it's not my first language: goal is I buy capacity on the system e.g 5$ allows me on the system to use X amount of compute and Y amount of storage, this value should be converted to more lower number to represent concrete number -could be milli Dollars or micro Dollar- or something (as a way to represent that usage per second as we currently bill every 1hr. I'd rather indeed to use that notion instead of introducing a cryptocurrency :)

You should look at the big cloud pricing, it's exactly as you describe without cryptocurrency. Priced in fractionals of the local fiat, per second billing based on the resource.

Can you explain why you need a blockchain to have a distributed cloud? To me they seem tangential
