how is this project better than golem network? how far is the "supercomputer" tech from being ready?
Prototypes are already running but a final version is (imo) still some months away.
There are several differences in comparison to Golem. One is for example that Elastic allows custom work-jobs being processed using an own programming language. While Golem focuses (at least at the moment) on predefined jobs and only very very longterm could handle custom designed work jobs.
