I am working on a project whos intent is to harness unused computational power from unused/rarely used servers or other devices, and allows a business to run background jobs on this spare compute.

Think BOINC but for enterprise. I've never validated this idea if its actually something businesses would use, but I've had fun coding it so far as just a side project.

I have been overwhelmed since I have not built anything like this before, It would be useful to have someone to bounce ideas off of and work with. The plan down the line is to open source this codebase. It would be great if you are familiar with:

-IPFS

-Golang

-Decentralized databases

Details should be in my profile. Also, I work on VR browser Games so if you are interested in collabing on that let me know.



this is exactly how https://www.next-kraftwerke.com built one of the biggest European power generation network - they used generators from important social infrastructure points, like hospitals. Usually these generators were used only as a backup power source, so basically they've been just standing there and loosing its value with time.


Are you aware of https://www.golem.network?


Ive seen that, that is more of a public "Want to sell your compute to random strangers on the internet?" as far as I understand. my offering is private, supposed to be something for individual companies to make use of their own idle compute on their own business problems.
