ens VS node

While creating these tutorials, I choose Ethereum Name Service as an example, because it's a famous project, and quite frankly, also because I take these changes to study some subjects I am interested in (sue me! 😛).

> I hope this idea catches on

This already exists with Ethereum Name Service (ENS) https://ens.domains and Sign-in With Ethereum.

ENS is my go to example for something novel and useful that Ethereum enables. Instantly propagating private key based DNS.

https://ens.domains

One of the first applications of blockchains was DNS. (Namecoin) ENS is a modern form. (https://ens.domains)

I would say there's still some degree of centrality for ENS, but it is more decentralized than DNS.

This is a scam. The real url is ens.domains, not ens.com.

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?

On Akash, you can rent servers from a P2P marketplace to host, for example, a Minecraft Server, your own dockerized project (e.g. a NodeJS project) or one of dozens free-to-use useful examples. Look into other utility tokens too for storage, VPN, networking, smart contracts, and more.
