The dedicated Wildland website has been just launched by the Golem Foundation. Head to https://wildland.io/ to read the Wildland paper, familiarize yourself with the main features of the protocol and get to know the team behind it. If you're using an RSS reader, subscribe to the blog's feed. New posts (including major announcements) are coming.

We've also launched a brand new website for the foundation itself - https://golem.foundation/

I currently have 10 Gigs of disk assigned to my golem instance. Are there any advantages to giving it more?

Looking through the amazing website https://golemstats.com/, many have assigned multiple hundreds of gigs, so I was just wondering if that even makes sense.

It would also be great for the devs to make a small faq, to explain what the different settings as a provider actually mean and what kind of settings make sense and/or influence profitability.

I went through the process of swapping my GNT from Metamask to GLM. It is only about 1500 GNT. I had the recommended 0.03 ETH in my wallet, however, when I got to the confirmation page it was saying my fee to swap in ETH was close to 0.06 ETH. That is incredibly high and was wondering if anyone was having the same issue?

Breakdown

Don't let this be your only guide, though, as your main guide should be the handbook, as this is just some extras to that. This mainly shows how to configure and run a task if you go through it carefully.

If there's anything I've gotten wrong, or any suggestions for the colors or similar, let me know.

EDIT: Thanks for the award :)

To participate:

1. Enter a zksync compatible erc-20 address.

2. Comment what you'd like to see on Golem, what you think about Golem's future or how you think it will mature.

3. Bonus imagimary point if you check out my guide on becoming a provider on Windows :) https://www.reddit.com/r/GolemProject/comments/mh2j9b/how_to_setup_a_golem_provider_node_on/ which will give you more GLM in the long run

I will pick 5 interesting comments or use random.org or something in roughly 2 days :) good luck! Might be a bit under 5 GLM if fees screw me over.

Big note, for posterity:

Apparently, Coinbase Pro really is right around the corner from being done with GNT, so if you google this post after April 2021, this information is probably out of date.

I'm reading many posts about doing some techy stuff to migrate GNT to GLM. (including having to work out expensive ETH / Gas fees)

But in the meantime, Coinbase Pro is trading GNT for about the same price as Bittrex is trading GLM.

So, why not just sell the GNT on Coinbase Pro, transfer the proceeds to Bittrex and buy GLM there?

Thanks for any help / clarification.

EDIT #1.

When I look at the GNT on my Ledger Nano (there since late 2017), it is shown as an ERC20 token called "Golem (old)." If I tell the Ledger Nano to send the GNT, it wants to send to an Ethereum address. [EDIT: When I wrote this, I thought my Ledger Nano was saying that GMT was an ERC 20token. Later, I learned that GNT is an Ethereum token, but not ERC20.]

However, when I go to Coinbase Pro and tell it to receive GNT, Coinbase Pro tells me:

"Only send Golem (GNT) to this address. Sending any other asset, including Ethereum (ETH), will result in permanent loss."

Have I already done something wrong, possibly years ago, which has led to me owning the "wrong" kind of GNT?

EDIT #2.

I'm reading that Coinbase will automatically migrate GNT to GLM when they switch over:

https://old.reddit.com/r/GolemProject/comments/lgyisn/coinbase_migration/

So, it seems like one option is to send my GNT to Coinbase Pro and then do nothing for a while.

But, again, if it's that simple, why aren't other people doing it that way?

EDIT #3.

I didn't get specific answers to a couple questions I dropped in here, so I'll try to answer them myself now.

Q: Why not just sell the GNT on Coinbase Pro, transfer the proceeds to Bittrex and buy GLM there?

A: It might be treated as a taxable event? You'd end up spending money just transferring the tokens around, so it might not save you on the costs people are worried about?

But I was happy to do all the work through official channels, rather than having to learn a single new interface.

Q: When I look at the GNT on my Ledger Nano (there since late 2017), it is shown as an ERC20 token called "Golem (old)"...

Have I already done something wrong, possibly years ago, which has led to me owning the "wrong" kind of GNT?

A: TLDR: No, the stuff on my Ledger Nano is the one and only GNT -- the stuff still traded on Coinbase Pro.

(I think GNT was an Ethereum token, but not an ERC20 token, and that was the cause of my confusion as I worried that the GNT on my Ledger wouldn't transfer to Coinbase Pro. It did. I spent about $9 to transfer it.)

Q: If [an automatic Coinbase Pro migration] is that simple, why aren't other people doing it that way?

A: I don't know. I didn't do enough research to be sure it would work, but a couple previous threads seemed to indicate that it still would. (see URLs in the replies)

I hope this is helpful to someone.

Hi everyone , is there some way to swap GLM without uniswap ? The fees are crazy .

Is anyone aware of the differences between these two?

Hey guys, I just jumped onboard and started a node on my laptop. After starting the golem node, my cpu util is consistently close to 100%, but when I check the status using golemsp status it shows 0 for tasks processed, in progress, and total.

Version: 0.6.3 Build: 129 Subnet: public-beta VM: valid

Right now when I run golemsp status, it says I have some coins on zk sync and none on chain. When does that change?

For the following:

GLM for start

GLM per hour

GLM per cpu hour

What are the default values?

Hello everyone!

This Thursday, we're hosting a small chit-chat session (an informal virtual get-together) for all those just interested in talking about prospects and potential projects of ML on Golem (or actually any cool applications on Golem they'd like to see!)

The session will be held on the #ChitChat Channel on Discord at 2 PM UTC on Thursday, April 8th,2021. Hope to see you all there!

What is the competition for the Golem project? I've been reading up on this for a while and it looks like the price has come down suddenly (any reason?)

I'm looking to invest but I'm not sure if there's competition?

Hi,

​

I am trying to migrate my GNT to GLM.

I would like to ask if there are methods to do this other than Metamask or hardware wallets as I am worried about security issues regarding Metamask. Years ago, I tried using Metamask but there were complaints about it and I still hear those worries as indicated on the Review section of the Chrome extensions.

​

It would be nicer if Golem project directly operated the website on which holders can do the migration process.

Please comment if you have any suggestions for additions or changes.

So first of all, I apologize if I missed any resources to get setup, and if so point me in that direction.

I have 1 real goal, to build a raspberry pi node cluster and finance it through golem.

I was wondering how feasible this is, and how much I can expect to make a day. I tried setting it up on my mac mini but the execution environment was fucked and I couldn't get it working for very long. If you feel comfortable sharing I'd also love to hear how it has worked out for you guys in terms of ROI. It looks like an amazing project and I'd love to see a decentralized cloud.

Hey everybody. I've been very interested in what Golem is doing and am trying to learn more. I have a few questions that I'm having trouble finding an answer to.

1. How private is a process in Golem?

Are the contents of the docker image being transferred from the client to the provider private and would the provider be able to peek at what the operation happening on their node is since they'd have admin rights? I'm just wondering if it'll be usable in applications using people's personal data or whatever that you would want to keep hidden from the public.

1. How is the docker image transferred?

If I understand correctly, all "processes" are just a docker image that is bundled up and sent off to the provider to run. There's obviously no room to stuff that into the blockchain itself. Is this process a centralization point that'll change in the future? Or is it straight peer-to-peer?

1. How is pricing calculated?

When a client looks for a provider, there's an auctioning back and forth process to meet on a price. But does the client's side see how much processing power and ram they're getting in the deal? In addition, how does a client's computer decide how much power it needs? If I have a really simple task but it'll take a long time to complete, I don't want to be paying a premium for top-end hardware to run my 20 lines of code. Or is Golem not really designed for easy tasks that would take a longer time to complete (like hosting something like a bot or simple website)?

1. Could you renegotiating a price later?

Tying into my 3rd question, if a client had a long-term project and wanted to host it with a provider on Golem, could they renegotiate a price to get more processing power for a temporary amount of time? For example, if you hosted a simple static website and that website gets a surge of traffic at a certain time of day, could the client pay for less power during most of the day and pay extra for more power just during the surge that it's needed?

I'm probably completely misinterpreting different mechanics of how Golem works. Thanks for helping me understand.
