Ah, I understand now. I believe there are enough private GPU owners around to sustain and scale rentaflop for many years to come. For instance, did you know there were around 10 million GPUs mining the Ethereum cryptocurrency at its peak? O

Great point. We're working on a render pricing estimator that allows you to upload a blend file and get an estimated price back. Until we have this, one way to see the estimated price of your render job is to upload your blend but cut

It's on our long-term roadmap to offer other services such as scientific computing, monte carlo simulation, AI, etc. One issue that arises from Deep Learning tasks such as stable diffusion is that the various devices in the network nee

It's on our roadmap to expand support to other systems such as Windows. May I ask why using a thumb drive is a deal breaker? Typically the setup for our software only takes around 15 minutes to complete, and we can have someone from ou

We currently limit blend file size to 500MB and ensure our host hardware providers have the necessary bandwidth to handle transfers of this scale. We take measures to secure and bolster data privacy, but advise our users not to upload sensi

Thanks for pointing this out! Octane benchmark is a rendering industry standard for pricing hardware. It's useful because when someone launches a rendering job, it doesn't just run on one device, say an RTX 3090 or 1660, but rathe

While we take measures to secure and bolster data privacy, it's possible for hosts to be malicious. As a result, you should never run workloads containing sensitive or confidential information on rentaflop. In the future, we may decide

Many of our early hardware providers (hosts) are crypto miners, as they often have many graphics cards. As a result, we pay our hosts in crypto in order to attract them to our network. Our software, rentaflop miner, doesn't behave like

Thank you for your question! We believe our pricing is competitive and tends to be one of our strong points, along with our speed. We charge considerably less than most other rendering services. Our farm will also render your projects much

Crowdsourcing for machine learning is certainly possible, and it's one of the things we've thought about a lot. One issue that current Deep Learning algorithms, for instance, have with crowdsourcing is that they require periodic c

We understand that the crypto payouts aren't for everyone. We started with crypto since many of the hardware owners on our network are crypto miners with multiple graphics cards, but it's on our roadmap to offer payouts in USD in

That's a great suggestion! A profitability calculator for hosts is on our roadmap and will be coming soon. Thanks for the suggestion for rewording the hosting page, we'll get that fixed to clarify things.

Thanks for pointing that out, will keep that in mind in the future! I didn't make it clear in the post, but our product for hardware providers is available for use right now. Here's the link in case anyone wants to try it out: ht

Currently, the only limitation we have on what users can render is that it must be legal. The rendering, for instance, must not incorporate real images of child pornography. To answer your second question, rentaflop miner is our product for

We've tried sheepit. Love the project, especially as you can do free rendering on it. One of the drawbacks of sheepit is that you must provide your own hardware to render others' projects prior to being permitted to render your ow

Yes, folks who add their hardware to the rentaflop network get 90% of the money earned through their rendering. Many of our hardware owners are cryptocurrency miners, so they'll make more money by completing rendering tasks with us. Di
