> Petzold is considering using his rigs for an aspect of digital video production known as rendering, which can require significant computing resources. “There are other uses for the cards”

This is an incredible quote.

People have realized that there are other uses for graphics cards than mining crypto currency - like, oh I don’t know, I guess graphics.

That's pretty funny. I assume this is in reference to the render project: https://rendertoken.com/

Basically a distributed rendering blockchain, where participants perform actual useful rendering in order to earn the token.

I don't know too much about it though, or whether there's actually much demand for on-demand rendering. I'd assume most potential "customers" would have concerns about their workloads being accessible to the public if they're working on something proprietary.

Is it possible to render an encrypted version of pre rendered data that outputs the rendered file in that same encrypted format that can only be decoded using the original private key it was encrypted with?

I'm wondering if something similar could be done but for ML, using a distributed network of GPU to train a ML model in exchange of a payment for using the resources.
