Why should render farms be afraid of Golem?

In this post I’ll compare costs of computing performed in different environments and I’ll try to convince you that Golem is a very competitive solution. I conducted a little experiment in which I collected and then compared data on costs of performing two chosen Blender tasks. Having an

The first business case: CGI rendering

Golem is suitable for almost any form of decentralised p2p computing, and CGI rendering is only one of the possible applications. However, we are sure that it will be the first and the most important use case in the months following Golem’s launch. Why? First of all, CGI rendering

Golem architecture

So, how exactly does Golem work? To get an idea, let’s go through the computing task process. Everything begins when a requestor needs to compute a task using the Golem network. It may be a CGI artist who has just finished working on an animation and wants to render

Golem goes to The DAO @daoi.st

We have a pleasure to announce that we have decided to submit a proposal to The DAO. We are planning to offer The DAO a share in the anticipated revenue stream of the Golem Network as a reward for funding development of Golem in the next 18 months. We understand

Golem Economics 101

Give the matter some sincere thought, and you will realize that there are some serious problems with the way the market for computing power is organized. Nowadays, anyone seeking additional resources is forced to rent them from cloud platforms or specialized rendering farms. These solutions are, without doubt, reliable. However,

Why Ethereum?

(Post originally written by Paweł Bylica, Ethereum Core Dev) The Golem Project is about creating a technology enabling users to trade idle time of their computers. However, this requires a mean for requestors (those seeking more computing power) to transfer remuneration to providers (those providing spare computing power) in exchange

The Way Ahead

The very reason why we started this blog is that we will soon have much more to show. We’ve spent several months first researching and then developing the software that runs on user hardware and connects with other computers to create the Golem Network. We have already released the
