need some feedback..
i suppose that the spare phone must have a sim card and an internet connection?
Topic: Acurast (Cloud Compute DePIN Project) mine with Mobile Phone (Read 80 times)
Explain Acurast 📍
Acurast is the serverless decentralized cloud where anyone can become part of the cloud with their mobile phone, whether new, used, or even with a smashed screen, by providing compute power and earning rewards. Acurast gives developers complete permissionless access to compute that is trustless, affordable, and confidential for deploying their applications.
Why a mobile phone?
About 60% of the Global Cloud Computing market is controlled by a few companies (Google, AWS, et al.). The team behind Acurast knew they couldn’t play by the rules of the big techs and decentralize the cloud computing space easily; they used their expertise from working with mobile phones to address key issues in the Cloud Computing space, such as Costs, too much centralization, Lack of transparency, and lack of data privacy. They are leveraging Mobile phones' chips to provide a better performance, giving the convenience of a cloud while giving you full confidentiality over your data with about 50% cost compared to traditional Cloud services.
How do I know Acurast is good?
Yes. Researchers from the University of Zurich’s Communication Systems Group, in collaboration with the Acurast Association, have unveiled groundbreaking results in their study ‘Performance Analysis of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks and Centralized Clouds’.
Key findings indicate that Acurast has the potential to perform computationally intensive tasks more efficiently and cost-efficiently than traditional cloud services like Google Cloud and Amazon AWS.
The full research paper is publicly available HERE [https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.08306] and has been accepted at the upcoming DePIN Workshop of the International Conference on Blockchain Technology (ICBC) 2024.
Is that all?
The social outlook from trusted KOLs in the DePIN Space and from social media has been impressive. Let me plug some reviews here.

Is there an AirDrop?
There is no Airdrop at the moment; however, you can receive the Acurast Canary token (cACU) as a reward if you participate in the Acurast Bootstrap program; you are eligible to earn 250 cACU per month per every device onboarded.
