Akash looks cool! I am working on a self hosting solution (https://protos.io) that is similar to Sandstorm, and I've been dreaming of a way to deploy VMs on various cloud providers, without requiring an account creation beforehand and without having any intermediaries. Akash looks like it could become that. Unfortunately at the moment you can only deploy containers, and I need the ability to deploy full VMs.
They wrote two white papers which gave me a much better understanding of the challenges involved in creating a "market for compute" although I'll admit that much of the maths went over my head.
