Hi! My name is Andrew and I want to introduce you a piece of junk I scratched in a couple of weeks - a CPU-ridesharing service Junk.Systems<p>I’ve had a few projects lately that require extremely cheap computation without any need for reliability or security - I needed just raw computation, and my demand is pretty constant.<p>So I calculated that I can build computing farm from used hardware and operate it profitably for the price 10 times lower than google’s preemptible machine for my projects. But building a computer farm yourself is not in trend nowadays, right? So I thought of uberizing the CPU sharing by just providing a non-privileged login to linux machines with no guarantee. If the machine gets screwed up for any reason - no prob, just reboot/reinstall/whatever. According to my calculations with current price a $10k farm will earn about $1000 in bitcoins a month so that may even be a kind of business. If the whole idea works, or course. At least, if somebody will use the computations - you can get a “free” heating source from your junk :)<p>I’m thinking of making the whole thing work entirely on smart contracts for the best transparency and survivability of the project - as I believe that cheap computation is the key to prosperity of the Humanity.<p>Please let me know what you think about this stuff and I am open for ideas and any type of collaboration,
Thanks!
