[ANN][ICO] Artax. Marketplace for Computing Power and Autonomous Smart Contracts

[Vitalik Kuliev]

Whitepaper : https://artax.io/artax_wp_v5_en.pdf

FAQ

1. What is Artax?
Artax is a marketplace for computing power and the infrastructure for Autonomous Smart Contracts. We have identified the two most interested user groups for leasing rental capacities: miners and gamers. A separate product will be created for both groups.

2. Do you have competitors?
Competitors must be considered for each of two areas.

1. Marketplace for computing power(Decentralized Supercomputer).
Golem is the main well-known competitor. Our Competitive Advantages:

• We use Virtualbox as middleware. This allows you to run applications for any operating system.
• Artax virtual server has full Internet access using TOR.
• Support for GPGPU using CUDA/OpenCL.
• Support the most demanded computing(machine learning) at the native level to achieve the best performance.

2. Autonomous Smart Contracts.
The closest competitor is plasma.io. Our main advantage is that we use the computing power of miners and gamers. This allows us to achieve a high level of decentralization, cheap operation costs and high stability.

3. Do you have prototype?
Yes, we have a prototype of Artax Virtual Server. This is the basis for the marketplace for computing power.
You can see it in this short demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYtpGK1Ys0s

4. Do you plan to raise funds?

*** For legal reasons, we decided to suspend the ICO. ***

Specifications and technologies:

• Token: Ethereum ERC20 token. Total number of tokens - 100 000 000. Token is used for mutual settlements between users.
• Ethereum blockchain is used as root blockchain.
• Virtualbox is used as middleware. This allows to run applications for any operating system without having to rewrite application code.
• EVM(Ethereum Virtual Machine) is used as main language for Autonomous Smart Contracts.  
• GPU acceleration with OpenCL and CUDA.
• IPFS is used as the primary protocol for the transmission of static data.
• TOR is used by a virtual server for secure Internet access.

this not ico? waiting bounty

ICO and bounty program will be announced soon. Please give feedback on the technical part of the project.

[dimox]

any bounty?
i can to translate to indonesian
if any bounty for translation i want to reserve it

[foodstamps]

How can we be sure

this not ico? waiting bounty

ICO and bounty program will be announced soon. Please give feedback on the technical part of the project.

Technically speaking, I think going with the username Vitalik was a good idea. Not only does it give the impression that you are a smart Eastern European, also, there has been at least one successful project that was developed, at least in part, by someone with Vitalik in their username. However, chances are that everyone named Vitalik is not a good developer....so there is that.

It doesn't make sense to be in Vitalik's project, it is a joke. I am Vitalik too, do you invest me?

Interesting Project. But need to check how they implement things they promise mostly GPGPU Part.

VirtualBox dose not vitrualizing gpu... Just make some gpu emulation. CPU work good.

Yes, it is true. Virtualbox emulates the video card and it is not suitable for computation.

Artax uses OpenCL/CUDA device virtualization. Guest OS uses virtual OpenCL/CUDA device. This device is connected with host operating system via TCP port forwarding. At the operating system level, Artax interacts with OpenCL/CUDA device that is running on the GPU.

Please read the chapter "GPGPU" in the whitepaper.
