Is this like Golem Network? Same cloud computing services that is distributed. So would it differ from other distributed cloud computing network that are already available?
In terms of vision, iEx.ec aims at building a blockchain-based distributed Cloud, while Golem aims at building a worldwide supercomputer.
In terms of technology, we benefit from our background in distributed computing.
We developed several software on top of which iEx.ec is being built and those software have already being used to build
distributed computing infrastructures.
In terms of products, we're not addressing the same markets at the same time. iEx.ec is targeting at the first place blockchain-based
applications that require extra data, extra applications and extra compute capacities.
As we understand Golem, they first target HPC (or let's say HTC, High Throughput Computing) using GND as a mean of payment.
The distributed Cloud provided by iEx.ec will enable a larger range of applications, as the iEx.ec network will enable the applications
for which the centralized Cloud is a limiting factor. This includes: blockchain-based applications, IoT +Big Data, distributed machine learning, ambient AI, VR, Edge/Fog computing, smart cities/buildings, etc...
We think that Golem and iEx.ec are somehow both competing against centralized Cloud providers.
So we hope that in the future, there will be enough synergy between the two projects to pool our strengths together.
