Here's my idea:
P2P grid compute + storage that is actually cheap and can drive down the cost of computation significantly.
Can be achieved with unikernels, homomorphic encryption, ipfs. There's a lot of compute and storage available all over the world, idle, waiting to be used. A system like this can utilize it
- isaacimagine 6y agoI've worked on similar things in the past; I think this idea (A distributed compute + storage network) in general, is great. However, although Homomorphic encryption is pretty cool, it's not that fast. AFAIK, current state-of-the art is essentially simulating Boolean gate arrays. If anyone has any insight on the technicanal foundational feasibility of this, please share :)
- jerryoftheyear 6y agoI've got my homelab participating in Folding@Home, it'd be interesting to run some commercial workloads in a similar manner to help offset energy costs.
