node VS skynet-cli

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?

it's basically in the InterPlanetary File System the base system is used by Akash its fantastic, download the app https://www.akashlytics.com/deploy very low learning and you can host and use cloud computing and storage https://www.akashlytics.com/ for file transfer https://siasky.net/ is great for a different reason .... https://scrt.network/ecosystem/dapps is an amazing new coming feature https://jackaldao.com/ .... the best project for Storage will be jackal coming soon.... I will defo be in on this for many reasons .... privacy and cost

for op, there is a storage blockchain called siacoin. 100gb free and files split between 3 decentralized hosts. seen too many "he died by going 70mph into a tree" stories then the story purged. when the info could have just been posted here https://siasky.net/

The issue is that siasky.net is a public portal/host and anyone can upload files or websites there. This is not really different from other file or website hosts, but unfortunately the company behind siasky.net doesn't have the resources to keep the domain out of all blocklists because they are still pretty small. You can read more about it here: https://blog.sia.tech/the-worrying-depth-and-scope-of-censorship-on-the-internet-ffd4bc5a5486?source=collection\_home---5------0-----------------------

Please, dont remove https://siasky.net gateway domain, we are using for link our CIDs

Not exactly sure, but if you're willing to put in a little bit of development effort, you should be able to build something on top of https://siasky.net

(5) Once you are happy with the result. You just need to upload the folder (where the files are) to https://siasky.net/ via Sinpapeles.xyz.

can be accesses by the siasky.net domain, but what will happend if this domain is down?

You can test Sia via Skynet out at https://siasky.net/

It's not Skynet that is slow, it is siasky.net which is having issues. So it is simply due to the portal you are using to download from. Granted there aren't any alternatives yet for the general public, but there is a skynetpro server that is currently in beta tests and is dedicated to paid users. There is also a number of other third-party run portals that should be coming online relatively soon. Alternatively however you could always choose to run your own portal and have direct access to Skynet and have 100% control of your own data.

In the end, you can download the files and/or upload to siasky.net.
