  1. community-golem-docs

    Collection of community-created documentation for Golem

    Golem could be called a "lite-VPS" as they have fully contained tasks that will run on your machine, although the good thing here is that you can specify how many cores they can use on maximum, and also maximum RAM & storage. It only uses CPU/RAM/Storage at its current state so you're not signing up for internet liabilities. From personal experience, I was receiving about $1 USD/day on 6 virtual processors, although this was when the coin was a bit higher priced. Current stats can be found here. Installment instructions can be found here.

  3. node

    Mysterium Network Node - official implementation of distributed VPN network (dVPN) protocol (by mysteriumnetwork)

    The internet connection is quite low so I would advise against hosting altogether, including Sia, Storj, and other bandwidth stealers such as Mysterium or Theta. This mostly because it might clog up everything else, especially if it's a home network - but also because your IP address will be public and people could attack it, such as a competitor to Sia (which might have happened - tons of Sia nodes got DDoS'd).

  4. node

    Source code for Akash node, a secure, transparent, and peer-to-peer cloud computing network (by akash-network)

    With the GPU you might be able to mine Ethereum or do Folding@Home. I'm not sure how either of these works as I haven't done this but you could research yourself here. Another notable project is Akash, but you need to buy some of their coins to get started.

  5. yagna-binaries

    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.

  6. homebrew-golem

    Golem is creating a global market for computing power.
