Peer-to-peer cloud gaming on machines located in your neighborhood

Unfortunately AMD support isn't on the roadmap.

Thank you! If a host goes offline then gaming session is free! Host uptime is taken into account while assigning gaming sessions, so if a machine goes offline before it’s set date then future sessions are less likely to occur on it.

I remember this from a little while back on HN! IIRC the creator of Vectordash was a student interested in ML but disenchanted with the prices of other cloud GPU compute services. The idea was so ingeniously simple I was surprised nobody really tried it before. Glad to see they're expanding into other stuff, too.

On a side note, I'd love to see a tech write up on how Vectordash operates.

It depends on what you do with that computer. I have a gaming computer that I rarely do work on, and I bet there are a ton of kids willing to rent out their gaming computer when they aren't using it who don't care much about security.

this is a repost from a few days ago although they didnt have the google form for signup then just a semi broken sign up on the site (to get it to work you had to sign up for a vectordash core account before it would work)

im hoping that the service can iron out the few issues i have with liquidsky which is the service i currently use for gaming till i can afford to replace my laptop which manages to be nearly good enough sadly the few issues i have are enough that it just isnt worth it, maybe for a single player game where you can pause or save etc but not for competitive gaming.

i just hope this manages to handle the task, its one thing doing it on a server that is constantly running with a set amount of resources but theres no guarantee these machines will stay on, those selling the power may need it themselves so disconnect just like when mining.

what happens if the GPU doing the lions share of the work drops offline, are the threads it was processing seamlessly passed to the next nearest card with no loss, dont get me wrong, i like the idea but ill want to see how well it works before i commit to it.

also if theyre looking for feature suggestions may i suggest an android client thats capable of using in app purchases to pay for the sub, currently only one cloud gaming service ive seen offers this its called vortex but rather than having a VM of your own where you can install games of your choice that one has a set list of games which sadly doesnt include the main one i care about, overwatch, so i havent tried it myself however i know im not the only one with a rather fat balance of google play credit earned from survey rewards going unused
