Ive seen that, that is more of a public "Want to sell your compute to random strangers on the internet?" as far as I understand. my offering is private, supposed to be something for individual companies to make use of their own idle compute on their own business problems.

I am working on a project whos intent is to harness unused computational power from unused/rarely used servers or other devices, and allows a business to run background jobs on this spare compute.

Think BOINC but for enterprise. I've never validated this idea if its actually something businesses would use, but I've had fun coding it so far as just a side project.

I have been overwhelmed since I have not built anything like this before, It would be useful to have someone to bounce ideas off of and work with. The plan down the line is to open source this codebase. It would be great if you are familiar with:

-IPFS

-Golang

-Decentralized databases

Details should be in my profile. Also, I work on VR browser Games so if you are interested in collabing on that let me know.

Thanks for the advice, I believe both are possible and that I can work from home while making the trip out to LA for conferences every so often, and hopefully make some friends during my trips there. My main desire now is to just build things, and remote work would give me enough time to do that. Moving anywhere, especially a currently overpriced housing market like Seattle/Bellevue, would probably steal a lot of energy and time out of building.
