Title: Rendering PoW Altcoin? Post by: FreshFund on September 05, 2016, 08:07:41 AM It would be awesome to create a coin that renders big movie, music or game projects.
There is definitely a need for core-Rendering power out there. This would have real world industry and hobby level uses. After some searching there seems to be a market for it with https://www.rendercore.com (https://www.rendercore.com) Though their RenderCoin doesn't seem to a blockchain based currency, but a centralized e-currency like BitGold. I'm probably going to start fiddling with a BOINC virtual box project and see if I can something going with Gridcoin, as I'm sure there's no need for a new Alt Coin. BOINC might be a half-assed approach from a layperson, but it's probably all I'm capable of on my own - if that. Anyways, food for thought I guess.. Note: If anyone does start rolling with this idea please involve me in some small way! :) You may not want to use my code commits but I'm pretty damn good with graphics & logos, also I'd be the first to contribute cores to the project - and moniess Title: Re: Rendering PoW Altcoin?

You could lease your all-purpose processing power and earn coins with it. I remember a project called Slicify which did that, but that also was a centralized service. |
