Didn't sfcompute launch with a vision of something like this and then cancel it because CFTC decided it was running an unregulated futures exchange? How are you getting around regulatory issues like this?
Good question. this is something we built around from day one. Users pay 100% up front for specific nodes on the exact weeks they want. No leverage, no margin, no cash settlement. This is honestly not that much different from you booking a hotel.
Interesting approach. How do you ensure liquidity if buyers and sellers want different weeks? Is there a market maker, or is everything matched through the auction?
I imagine they’re building the supply side as well, where you can bid your fixed GPU. My question with this stuff is how do I know my data is secure on these for-rent boxes? What steps are taken to sanitize the GPU between runs etc.
how do you deal with data security

What does "no cash settlement" mean? If I sell a reservation, do I not get cash?
How do you prevent sellers from fraudulently selling future capacity they don't actually have?
curious how you'd keep all parties winning at once on the platform (supply&demand& traders maybe?)
Are you planning to make money on float / spread / flat fee?
I need to login to see anything. I walk away.
