Your feedback is very appreciated, and definitely we don't want to be seen as a crypto project. While in this current iteration we have that utilization token, I understand cryptocurrencies doesn't resonate well with too many scams. We are seeking a way out of that situation to be honest.
Let me rephrase, and please excuse my English as it's not my first language: goal is I buy capacity on the system e.g 5$ allows me on the system to use X amount of compute and Y amount of storage, this value should be converted to more lower number to represent concrete number -could be milli Dollars or micro Dollar- or something (as a way to represent that usage per second as we currently bill every 1hr. I'd rather indeed to use that notion instead of introducing a cryptocurrency :)
We are also planning to provide a cloud for systems like gitea, fossil, in a non-aggressive way to these respective projects.
Actually there's also another untold story, which is called a 3bot that's completely decentralized standalone working as your digital assistant, but we didn't get there yet :)
I fully agree that crypto world is making it harder for projects with good intentions specially those who delivered! (We are planning to be not linked with crypto at all soonish and allow more of fiat adoption)
Again, Thank you for taking the time!
And we are as, I mentioned, in other comments building fiat-based solutions, and some of our users built platforms based on fiat.
It offers a more compact i'd say approach to develop and it's quite straightforward.
I only used it for small GUI applications, but you can see what others been building https://www.ultimatepp.org/www$uppweb$apps$en-us.html
To open-source projects, We would love to provide you with resources for as long as your project needs e.g in terms of virtual machines, kubernetes clusters to develop/test, run you workflows. All free of charge. No strings attached.
And this also the link for legal information https://manual.grid.tf/legal/legal.html as well
You can find the terms and conditions here https://library.threefold.me/info/legal/#/
and everyone is also welcome to run the current cloud or replicate their own :)
The idea is very flexible it can be converted to different kind of models
- Model 1: Global grid of resources where you choose (entrusted person, could be even yourself) to deploy your workload on their servers, and that's what a capacity provider offers with their SLAs - Model 2: You can replicate the whole infrastructure yourself (region level e.g gov) so you can build e.g for your own company (there you have full control)
So the way I see it, as administrator, I plan my deployments to be hosted on some reliable servers and I plan everything around redundancy (here's an example to host nextcloud https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-guide-nextcloud-redun... )
and there's a space for services that does such planning for the users :) I counted from 1, excuse that honest mistake :)
Here's a list of the current pricing https://manual.grid.tf/cloud/cloudunits_pricing.html?highlig...
Of course, there're other projects building on top of us to even drive the prices lower, and even as a token of appreciation I'd love to provide you with whatever necessary to be able to test the platform for as much as you need.
I'm not sure I know ICP, it'd be great if you could link, It's always good opportunity to understand more
The whole system is 100% opensource, you can run it on your own terms (we would be happy if other people based on our work and expanded further)
And main thing that separates us from all of these crypto projects, is we actually delivered the infrastructure, reproducible, that works :)
https://manual.grid.tf/playground/vm_intro.html https://manual.grid.tf/playground/k8s.html
Also, we spent lots of times to bring developer's favorite tools like terraform, pulumi, typescript libraries to make everything familiar.
The system is there, usable -unlike so many web3 projects- :)
I have to say we have tons of resources ready to be used! and would love to help our wherever fits :)
There're various definitions of free, e.g it will cost power and bandwidth for sure, but free as in totally decentralized as owned by the people? they get to decide how and where their workloads are hosted :) you can connect a server in your basement and I deploy my workloads on it or you can even host your website (trusting other human beings on your own terms :) )
Tokenomics aside, I'm sure https://manual.grid.tf will show very interesting bit, And please keep in mind that the system works .. quite well actually (and it's opensource if you like the idea, and don't like the execution :)
