I am interested in the business logic of paying to hosts. Say someone had netted sub 10 dollars for hosting their GPU on the platform. How do you make that payment? Business have to pay fixed plus variable transaction fees. So the small payments to a large pool of users should be quite involved specially with international payments.

Since the dawn of torrenting (and to some extent the the Silicon Valley TV show) many folks tried to launch a P2P resource pool platform. The challenge is that small amount of money being distributed to a large pool is challenging. Then there is the issue of stability. Do you penalize hoster who fail to provide a stable service?

Hosters must have "trust" in the system and platform can only afford to pay out only when the payable amount to hosters reach a certain threshold. Like you can't withdraw unless you have about $100 charged invoices.

And that is where I see the concept of crypto tokens appear because trust as a short term mechanism can be consoled via crypto tokens.

Engineering an service to take advantage of idle resources is a non-trivial task specially if the service is hooked up to doing something dedicated. For the hosters energy is not cheap, maintenance is a hassle and guranteeing stability is a pain.

I would love to learn how you would address these issues.
