Re: [ANN][GNT] Golem Project - The world’s most powerful supercomputer
Golem | Introduction
The Golem Network is an accessible-to-everyone, distributed, supercomputer that reduces costs (sometimes by over 10x) of scientific research, big data analysis, graphics rendering, machine learning, AI just about anything that requires heavy computational power. Those why buy computational power off the Golem Network are called Requesters.
All while bringing CPU cycles into the sharing economy so anyone with a computer can rent their computing power out on the Golem Network and make an automated income. These people are called Providers.
It also provides software developers and owners of software (including microservices & dApps) a decentralized medium for distributing and monetizing their software. Software hosted on the Golem network will never experience downtime, cannot be DDoSd, and will usually be cheaper than running your own servers.
Golems alpha is already live and operating on the Morden testnet. You can get access to it here: https://github.com/imapp-pl/golem

I think Sonm has a better chance than Golem. They're coming out with their crypto mainnet in June and their general purpose net in August, it's a lot more flexible and diverse than Golem, they were a title sponsor of Consensus this year, a lot of very nice partnerships already made. I don't think Coinbase will start adding smaller coins instantly, but sooner or later sonm will be up there, especially since big companies are going to want to buy sonm wiith dollars, not bitcoin or ethereum
I think youre 100% right, but I think both will have a good sized piece of the supercomputing pie. They have different types of target customers so that shouldnt be an issue
