Crowd Machine unveils first decentralized computer super nodes

PRESS RELEASE: San Jose, California USA, 28 August 2018

Crowd Machine, operator of a unified solution for developing and running decentralized apps, has today released a live demonstration of its Crowd Computer: a high-speed, secure and scalable decentralized cloud that will transform the worldwide IT market.

The Crowd Computer is designed to run on a network of internet-connected devices from servers, desktop computers and laptops, to tablets and smartphones. The devices act in unison to deliver the world’s most powerful decentralized computer. Device owners are paid daily for renting their surplus processor and memory capacity to the Crowd Computer network, which runs apps built with Crowd Machine’s app development platform.

Apps on the Crowd Computer are distributed in fragments, replicated across the network rather than hosted in a single location. This decentralization makes them extremely resilient to network disruption and unauthorized access. Apps can run multiple threads simultaneously, and be very simple or extremely complex while scaling on-demand across the network.

The flow of data and tasks between these device ‘worker nodes’ on the Crowd Computer are managed by ‘super nodes’. Super nodes share their workload metrics and jointly manage network load to shift processing to where it’s most performant and cost effective.

Super nodes buy into the Crowd Computer in a secure process, pay their network of attached devices, and are in turn paid by Crowd Machine. App owners pay Crowd Machine on a pay-as-you-go basis for running their apps on the Crowd Computer. To date, Crowd Machine has released to market approximately 500 million Crowd Machine Compute Tokens (CMCT) to facilitate apps on the Crowd Computer (with 1.5 billion CMCT held in reserve).

Faster and Cheaper App Time-to-Market
App developers build and test apps for free using the Crowd App Studio, a revolutionary development environment that automates and accelerates the coding process with drag-and-drop functionality and natural language-based rules.

Together, the Crowd Computer and Crowd App Studio offer faster and cheaper app time-to-market than traditional approaches, and an alternative to the public cloud providers that dominate the IT services market.

Craig Sproule, Crowd Machine’s CEO and Founder commented, “Today we have demonstrated a viable alternative to the existing, antiquated app development models and the high cost of centralized infrastructure outsourcing.

“The infrastructure for this decentralized economy already exists and is growing rapidly. The processing capacity of the myriad smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop PCs, servers and IoT devices goes largely underutilized. By enabling real-time apps to take advantage of these resources we’ve created a powerful new computing paradigm.”

In the webinar released today Crowd Machine has also announced a number of new features and services:

• The owners of Crowd Machine Compute Tokens (CMCT) can rent their tokens to the Crowd Computer network, enabling a passive income on those tokens.
• Blockchain vendors can accelerate adoption by integrating their blockchain into the Crowd Computer for use by app developers.
• App developers will have access to an automated cost vs performance engine for comparing commercial blockchains.
• App developers will be able to build customized extensions on a free-to-use Crowd Machine Blockchain-as-a-Service. Using the protocols in place, it will be the fastest publicly available blockchain.
