Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | The Golem Project: crowdfunding white paper |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Golem Factory's 2016 paper for a marketplace of spare computer power. Requestors split tasks. Providers run them. A reputation and payment layer is supposed to make the exchange work without a single render farm. The paper is explicit that it was also a crowdfunding document. This page uses the technical design and ignores the sale. |
| Who may write | Golem Factory |
| What is settled | A requestor posts a task and a budget. |
| Load-bearing assumption | A 2016 crowdfunding paper is not a statement about the later network's usage. |
| What this library says afterwards | Verifying arbitrary computation by re-execution is circular if the re-executor is as untrusted as the provider. The paper does not fully close that loop for every job type. |
