Crowd machine - Blockchain-oriented decentralized cloud computing service

in #crypto-news6 years ago (edited)


Crowd Machine is a revolutionary service which offers highly capable decentralized Cloud with an easy-to-use software embedded, which enables developers and non-developers to create blockchain and decentralized apps. Since this cloud is blockchain-oriented it allows apps to integrate with existing smart-contracts and upgrade their functionality. And you do not have to be a blockchain expert or senior developer in order to use Crowd Machine to develop your own decentralized apps. With an easy drag and drop interface you can quickly and efficiently create, deploy and host blockchain apps.

Competition

Probably the most obvious and biggest competitor of Crowd Machine is Microsoft Azure. However, Microsoft Azure only supports a few blockchain applications and development of decentralized blockchain apps is fairly limited.
As a Microsoft support agent, I have managed to get six months trial for Microsoft Azure with 25 USD balance each month. Although, it was interesting to play with it and deploy different complicated services in a few clicks, I have to admit that this service is more suited for medium and big businesses. The prices are quite high for an average start-up on a budget (varies from services to service, but on average is still pretty high). They have additional paid support to help your company move to Azure, but that's not really intended for private developers (At least that's how it seemed to me). It is a good service, but if we are talking about development of decentralized apps on a blockchain then Crowd Machine has a huge advantage here.
Second big competitor, in my opinion, will be AWS. Prices for some services and computing power can be a bit lower in comparison to Microsoft Azure, but less computing power will cost more in AWS. Again, we can deduct that Amazon Web Services is also enterprise-oriented and not intended for private developers (or small ambitious start-ups).
Of course, anyone can use MS Azure or AWS to deploy their project, but for certain tasks and especially for development of blockchain apps Crowd Machine will be a better pick. My guess will be, that due to peer-to-peer network of Crowd Virtual Machines (CVM), which can run on any device including mobile, desktop, IoT device or data center, Crowd Machine will be able to offer lower prices. Providers of computing power will be rewarded, which motivates contribution from private parties and insures decentralization of the platform.

Crowd Machine will have a Crowd Share repository. Anyone will be able to upload their own code in that repository and every time that code is consumed and executed, member who contributed the code will be rewarded. (Similar to Github, only with rewards.)

Market estimation

In 2017 "Public Cloud Service" market was valued at $246B and the "Enterprise Software" market was valued at $392B (Figure below). Crowd Machine can simultaneously address those markets.

Conclusion

Creators of this platform state that "Crowd Machine will accelerate the adoption of blockchain networks and the creation of decentralized apps" and I do agree with them on this one. After all in modern world everything is striving towards optimization (Achieve more with less effort, ideally in less time). And this project is an excellent example of development problem optimization. Where people with ideas, skills and investments can collaborate and deploy blockchain projects or applications even without deep expertise in this field.

Crowd Machine is a helpful cloud,
It will help you create your own Dapp now.
Don't miss out on this great opportunity
May Your apps achieve consensus and unity!

Very interesting article! Thank you. Everything taylor.

Thx for another informative post. Easy to read.

I just came across your other post about effect.ie and I really liked it.

Please continue up with creating interesting content - it may be hard at the beginning to build reach and solid followers base.
Steemits needs solid content builders so just dont ever give up! :)

Hi again

I decided to check your profile just to realize that we seem to share a number of interests :)
In particular that we both share a similar passion towards cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology :)

Keep up with great content. Will follow you from now on.

Cheers, Piotr

Thanks for kind words. We do seem to enjoy similar topics. Followed/Upvoted.
Effect.Ai and this article were written for @OriginalWorks's contest, you should check him out)

I did check @oryginalworks. That's exacly how I found you.

One thing that I found missing in most articles about AI is lack of comparison between leaders of this industry in blockchain technology. DBC vs AGI vs effect.ie. Personally i would love to know how effect.ie can compete with the other two.

I would love to know your opinion.

Yours, Piotr

I just checked @originalworks contest results. Congratz! I know you're not even in top5 but still ....

I hope you dont mind my comment again, but I have some more questions related to Crowd Machine. I tried very hard to find answers and I read quite a number of posts related to this issue but I failed.

Most of all: what advantage Crowd Machine has over their direct competition (https://dadi.cloud)? DADI is already listed on coinmarketcap.com for quite some time (and available on KuCoin).
I dont know much about DADI. I just found out about this project few hours ago and I would like to hear your view.

You mind telling me how in your opinion CM can affect current market and existing platform?

Will ETH, Cardano, Neo, EOS, Lisk, iota, waves or qtum benefit or is Crowd Machine a threat to them? Hope you can share your view on this issue. I would appreciate a lot.

ps. Im super passionate about crypto and blockchain technology and it seem that we're both sharing this passion. I will be following you closely.
Please continue with great content. Steemit need people like you more than anything else (I mean solid content creators).

Cheers, Piotr

Thanks, Piotr!

I am between jobs atm. And do not have that much time for replies. Sorry.

Dadi indeed can be considered as their competitor according to description of their product, I've heard about them during their ICO stage and the only thing that I can remember is that ICO was white-listed, there were more than enough of contribution (coins were sold quite fast). At this moment, it's really depends whether CrowdMachine or Dadi will deliver their promise, who will be first and which platform will be easier or better to use for blockchain apps development.

(ETH, Cardano, Neo, EOS, Lisk, iota, waves or qtum benefit or is Crowd Machine a threat to them?) In my opinion it is not the correctly question, since you can talk about each of this cryptos quite a lot. Success of above mentioned coins are mostly correlated with their underlying technology and their implementation (in some cases even further development). We are talking about different blockchains architecture here + EOS still in ICO stage). With that being said, we can expect that some projects will compete with CrowdMachine for the place under the sun, however it really depends on how well development will be going (of all above mentioned projects).

(You mind telling me how in your opinion CM can affect current market and existing platform?) That's an easy question, if they will in fact deliver the technology, then I will be using it myself among many others. And considering the fact that blockchain technology is not fully utilized atm, I am anticipating huge demand for such services in nearest future. So as long as they will continue development of their project and finish it within this year (may be beginning of 2019) they should be fine.

Thank you for your kind reply and at the same time sorry that it took me so long to write back.

Thank you for your kind reply and at the same time sorry that it took me so long to write back.

I appreciate your amazing and informative comment. I had to read it twice to fully appreciate knowledge you shared with me.

Big THX!
