How much they pay per task ?

I'll report after testing it.

I've just started testing, getting 20 sats/minute. So, technically, this could be about 28,800 sats over 24 hours. At current rates, about 0.3 dollar/GPU hour... Way below commercial GPU Cloud prices (e.g. 4 dollar/GPU hour), but no idea at this point about the impact on the electricity bill. I will have to test at home for that.

What is your gpu (if i can ask ?)
Seems good but how much they use of your gpu ? Can these harms it by time ?

Intel UHD Graphics 630 (MacBook Pro)
I'm no expert, but I don't think cards significantly decrease their lifetime with extensive use.
I've been monitoring the process, seems to use a maximum of 30% of GPU capacity at any time.

That looks very good in my opinion and
They pay Better then mining
So more powerfull card will pay more ?

No idea. You can test and let us know.
Currently, it's the company buying up your GPU capacity for a dummy LLM program. We'll have to see what happens when real buyers are added to the equation and need to run real jobs...

Yes need more test

Is there any way to have the people providing the GPU services to not be able to figure out what is being run on their machines?

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @south_korea_ln OP 13 Sep 2023
I'll see if I can see what tasks are running after testing it.

Currently, I only see Google Chrome Renderer (GPU) as the process using my GPU. I'm not sure how private this is and if you can figure out what calculations are actually being done.

Posting mostly to ask people's experience with this. Are the sats worth reducing your GPU card's lifetime? Any one did a quantitative analysis on their ROI accounting for electricity?

This sounds interesting. I've 10x Nvidia GPU's lying around

Yah, also just noticed it stopped working. Either they have some technical problems, either running out of funds too quickly as they haven't activated the buying side of the equation yet...

but this is beautiful.
I am continually astounded by the innovative ways that nostr is being utilized to create new services.

Don't this uses Nostr though. Your statement is valid if you replace "Nostr" by "LN", IMHO.

You are right. GPUtopia doesn't make use of nostr only LN.
