#22Both p2p GPU renting for AI training and location-based renting for gaming are very interesting business models. Also glad they didn't drag blockchain into that.
I almost feel bad breaking this to you but, they (partially) have. https://rendertoken.com/
Isn't this a different product?

#23I bet it's using mesh networking a la ZeroTier, I have a similar setup, working on my home desktop while being at my customer's offices. I get 15-40ms latency, 1920x1080 at 60fps and no noticeable input lag. Gaming works really well, but I only really use it to code.
I keep saying I'll write on how to set this up for cheap, but I didn't find the time yet.
Basic recipe: fiber, zerotier, one raspberry pi and a steam link
Edit: latency above referrs the display latency, the latency between the machines is between 2 and 10 ms

#24How exactly does this work? As far as I know, most ISP's send all traffic from their CPE equipment to their main data center where it is then routed. Which means if you happen to know your neighbor's IP address, and try to ping it, the packet goes 100+ miles away before being routed back to your neighbors CPE interface. And I don't game, but if I set up a gaming machine I can "rent" it out?
There's very little a consumer can do to alter the way their ISP routes packets, however as long as the network latencies between the two machines are below ~15 ms and bandwidth up/down is 15+ Mbps, a near-native gaming cloud gaming is very much possible! In an ideal world though, ping times would just be a function of distance. If you're interested in hosting machines, you can check out http://vectordash.com/hosting…
I sent in an application awhile ago but it never got responded to :(
I also sent an email and that dead-ended as well

They're still doing that - this is an expansion, not a pivot. Vectordash Core (the ML service) is totally still a thing.
