Title: Utter.io: A Decentralized Cloud Platform with the Blockchain Post by: kordless on December 23, 2014, 01:53:49 AM Howdy!
Over the last few years I've been working on a project that I originally conceived when I did grub.org back in 1999. Here's the blurb from the Github repository (https://www.github.com/stackmonkey): Utter.io is like AirBnb for excess compute: The utter.io project provides fast location and provisioning of compute resources within a cooperative set of systems managed by OpenStack operators. Resource accounting inside the network is settled with Bitcoin and purchases of compute instances can be made by users without an account. Additionally, groups of operators can form ad hoc hybrid clouds, allowing fast scaling and sharing of excess compute resources between trusted entities. If you are familiar with cloud terminology, this idea may be one possible solution to some of the challenges in achieving a global cloud federation. http://res.cloudinary.com/indiegogo-media-prod-cld/image/upload/c_limit,w_620/v1419292965/vlofigadiez65rnesnjh.png I'm doing an Indiegogo project for Utter.io if you are interested in supporting it: http://igg.me/p/1064343/twtr/9467286 Happy to answer any questions in here. If you'd like to see a demo of the software in action, the pool is running at https://www.stackmonkey.com/.

You can consider it a decentralized version of some of the services AWS provides, namely compute instances, storage and networking. The infrastructure is run by anyone who decides to do so using an OpenStack cluster. I also run an installer script repo for OpenStack: https://github.com/StackGeek/openstackgeek |
