What protocol? I see a website promising a glorious crypto-future and a git repo with virtually no code in it. Seems vaguely familiar.
https://github.com/codius/codiusd
So who wants to let others host some arbitrary code execution Docker containers in their datacenter for some crypto currency?
I think back to the episode of Futurama where they go fishing in the middle of the ocean, and Bender asks if they're in international water. Then he radios a boat that comes picks up a package from him and he says, "Guess what you guys are now accessories to."
I believe they're called hosting companies. ;)
SCNR.
More serious answer: When we pitched AWS on running Codius they pretty much said the same thing: credit cards aren't just used for payments but also to keep spammers out. So we may need some kind of trust system eventually. But it seems to work ok for now. (Port 25 outbound is blocked and DDoS from Codius is more expensive than other options. Codius costs about the same as EC2 and hiring a botnet or adding a few dozen iframes to your reasonably popular website is much cheaper.)
Anyone in or trying to get into IaaS?
And here is the announcement with links to some tutorials on how to use it:
