Great idea and wishing you the best of luck!

Dropping a note that I've found https://akash.network/ ~ https://akash.network/gpus/ to be impressive, as typically with crypto projects it's all scams, however in this instance.. demand exists. https://stats.akash.network/

Something to consider!

Run AutoGPT on the Akash Network in just a few clicks...Akash is similar to Vercel and Railway but uses decentralized Kubernetes clusters provisioned by their Cosmos based blockchain.

In what way is this different from Jackal Protocol or Akash Network?

Meh, I'm way more into Interoperability, and overall "WEB3" which includes AI I suppose. But I know how much GPU ChatGPT needs to operate, so im betting on AKASH cloud hosting to fuel decentralized AI. Which is interoperable alongside FET thanks to the COSMOS IBC / CosmWasm.

My take is that it's a platform that people may build some really spectacular applications on and some really terrible ones. A well designed layer on top of Cosmos seems like it could work well and there is some developer community there building cool stuff. The only time I used it was to get some money on it and play around with Akash Network about a year ago, and the UX on their main wallet was much smoother than using Ethereum/ Metamask for me.

I'm considering using Akash network for hosting, but https://akash.network/ doesn't give me any hint whatsoever about what kind of cost to expect. I understand it's a marketplace, thus there's no such thing as a pricing table. But I need to get some idea about ballpark numbers before investing any time trying it out. Is there something you could link me to which helps form an understanding of typical costs for running stuff on Akash?

This was possible thanks to the high level of programmable privacy offered by Secret and the unstoppable cloud infrastructure provided by Akash.

Like … renting server host for any Docker Image?? Such as Minecraft Servers, websites, or anything you can make yourself?

Maybe this is useful? https://github.com/figurestudios/community-golem-docs/blob/main/coin/migration-faq.md

Requesting your First Task on Golem - if you want to see how it works before committing to the project with your time.

Have you looked into a) Providing for Golem (if not, check out the FAQ too)? It doesn't run 24/7 like mining so you could run it alongside your mining software. It also only uses CPU's for now, so if you're only mining on GPU you can utilize this and CPU minable coins (like Ripple).

There's a great community-created guide (by u/figureprod) that goes through the 6 main steps of getting started for Windows: https://github.com/figurestudios/community-golem-docs/blob/main/providing/provider-setup.md#on-windows

Link here.

Don't want to mine on CPUs? This might make you not like Golem - even though it isn't a constant workload and you can tweak how many cores, how much RAM, and how much storage you allocate to the node. If not, you can get started here. The Raspberry Pi's could also be running Golem nodes on any amount of cores too. Installment instructions for Raspberries can be found here.
