Re: [ANN] [XEL] :: Elastic - The Decentralized Supercomputer ::
What competitor projects?
iexec, sonm, golem, dadi, aelf, dfinity, .. take your pick. All trying to achieve similar goal, albeit with different methods.
I only know some of those projects and they are not comparable to elastic. For example, SONM doesn't even have a whitepaper and they cannot explain how they pay the miners (Unanswered question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1845114.msg29159219#msg29159219 ).
Saying they are not comparable without any reasons isn't terribly convincing.
I'm not that into sonm, but I think you put up a security deposit as a "miner" (aka computation provider), not requiring proof of work.
I like iexec's solution of proof of contribution protocol for that particular problem: https://medium.com/iex-ec/about-trust-and-agents-incentives-4651c138974c.
do any of those projects have their own blockchain? or erc20?
