tech_man7··on SETI@home shuts down after 21 years
Golem (www.golem.network) is building a general-purpose distributed computation platform where people who need compute power pay using cryptocurrency. And developers can build software to run on it (and get paid when it's used).
tech_man7··on Slug: Dynamic GPU Font Rendering and Advanced Text Layout
This might work well with Golem (www.golem.network) because they've implemented WASM which opens up many possibilities. I haven't found a cheaper way to render.
tech_man7··on Sia – Decentralized cloud storage network
Yes, this is the idea. Enclave technology should improve over time, whether it's SGX or something else. And Golem is working with Intel, Texas A&M and others in creating an environment called Graphene (https://grapheneproject.io/) where applications can easily be run on SGX.
tech_man7··on My low cost provider of GPUs has run out of capacity. Good alternatives?
It's not one of those ICO scams. Maybe you'd prefer their GitHub page in which the team has written over 100,000 lines of code. https://github.com/golemfactory/golem.

It's a marketplace so you name your own price and at the moment, it's used for CGI rendering, but next week there are more use cases being added, specifically WASM.

Golem has GPUs for very cheap on its network so ask here https://www.reddit.com/r/GolemProject/ or https://twitter.com/golemproject?lang=en. Golem website is www.golem.network
tech_man7··on Blender Is Free Software
What's great along with Blender, is the availability of very very inexpensive rendering using https://golemgrid.com/. It's name your own price and can be had for 1/10th the cost of using a render farm.
tech_man7··on Ramses – A distributed system for rendering 3D content
You're right--I could have made my point differently. I just pulled up the Ramses Github and didn't see much activity whereas I knew of a different repository with thousands of lines of working code.
tech_man7··on Ramses – A distributed system for rendering 3D content
Golem Project has dozens of engineers working on distributed computing and have rendering capability today. GitHub: https://github.com/golemfactory and website is https://golem.network/
tech_man7··on Do We Need Distributed Stream Processing?
Streamr!
tech_man7··on What Is Ethereum?
The Golem Network is the generic decentralized computing platform. https://golem.network/
tech_man7··on What Is Ethereum?
For heavy compute, it's the Golem Network (golem.network)
tech_man7··on A blockchain in 200 lines of code
you don't need a blockchain for computations; only for transferring value from buyer to seller.
tech_man7··on A blockchain in 200 lines of code
The Golem team (https://golem.network/) got their inspiration from BOINC. But now more people will have incentive to share their compute power because they will be paid.
tech_man7··on A blockchain in 200 lines of code
That is what Golem is building (https://golem.network/). Decentralized compute power that is a global P2P network of PCs. The platform will allow software developers to put their software on top as long as its approved (e.g. to make sure it's not malicious).
tech_man7··on Filecoin – A Cryptocurrency Operated File Storage Network
I think this is their slack channel: http://golemproject.org:3000/

might be worth asking there

tech_man7··on GPUs Are Now Available for Google Compute Engine and Cloud Machine Learning
You might want to check out Golem (https://golem.network/). They're working on very cheap Blender rendering. They're on Slack: http://golemproject.org:3000/
tech_man7··on Ask HN: Are there any AWS/Azure like cloud services that aren't based in the US?
