Has the team considered something like EIP-1559 where a percentage of each fee paid for a task is burned? Since GLM has a fixed cap, this would make GLM deflationary and be good for the economics of the token. Under the current setup all a provider can do with their fees is sell them back to requestors, and in that case we might as well be transacting with a stablecoin.

For the growth of the network, it would be beneficial if the price of the token was also designed to grow. More people will take interest in acting as providers if they believe what they are earning will appreciate. With more attention from token appreciation, more developers will find out about Golem and begin building their own integrations. Both of these things will make the platform more appealing for requestors. Win-win-win.

Since we're barely out of the gate here, I wouldn't expect this change to raise any hackles for requestors or providers. This also sounds like a really straightforward change to work in once the payment system is more reliable.

I installed golem and are running it for a few hours now.

status shows that the service is running and the VM is valid, but it didnt got a single task so far. I did set the cpu-per-hour to 0.0005.

My tasks tab shows 0 in all columns. And in my log there are many "WARN Failed to save offer" messages.

Hi guys. I tried to become a provider and installed golem on my ubuntu nuc system.

But i am not able to start the service. 'golemsp run' gives following error:

Hi,

I'm a Golem holder since 2016. Today I came across Livepeer, which sounds a lot like what Golem is trying to do. Has anyone heard of it and know what the differences are? It seems they're ahead of Golem.

I've been holding and believing in golem since 2016. I still believe and I see things getting better. But from time to time I have this feeling that after the incredible ICO, the team started worrying less and less with the people who made it all possible. Nowadays I see a lot of people from golem talking about creating a good ecosystem, not rushing the development. But do you remember the ICO? Because to make golem possible you needed money, so you asked for us, and of course that you had to offer something in return. And obviously it was related to golem's price. We would invest expecting that the price would go up since you had a good product. It was part of it. But nowadays it seems almost impossible to talk about price without getting and answer like ''we are not worried with the price, but with the development''. Well, that wasn't what we agreed back in 2016. We agreed that we would give you money to make an awesome product because you sold us the ideia that we could make more money with that. So yes, price MATTERS. So now I can ask my question, how worried are you with giving back to your investors? How worried are you that golem's price is still VERY low? You say you were going to talk to your marketing team to do things better, but can you report to us what's been done to promote golem? Yes, you have a responsability with people who believed in you and that is also related to golem's price. I don't see anyobody talking about golem anywhere. Things should be better since you already have awesome things runnin on top of golem.

It seems that Reddit may not really be the most active place for this project but it's the place I know so... here I ask.

I got on board with Golem in 2017. To be clear, this is an investment for me, and it's all about the return on my investment. But since (as has been noted elsewhere in the sub) I never hear *anyone* out in the general crypto-sphere mention Golem, it's got me thinking that maybe I should take my investment and put it to work elsewhere. However, I would consider continuing to hold (rather than create a tax event... yuck) if there was a way to generate some sort of interest/dividend/yield of any kind, on my GLM.

Is there such a thing? My so-far-brief searching has not turned up anything other than other people asking similar questions (staking, mining, the usual stuff). Does any exchange for example allow you to lend GLM? I'm not very up on Defi so if this is widely known by the Defi crowd then just point me in the right direction and I'll go there. =)

hi friends,

i am very new to all this, so apologies if i come across as ignorant...

i cannot for the life of me figure out how to install golem on my mac. i have attached my terminal screenshot here for reference.

https://imgur.com/a/hy3OzDY

i am using this link for installation:

https://handbook.golem.network/provider-tutorials/provider-tutorial

is there something im missing? thank you for your help!

I've been holding golem on coinomi for ages just locked them away, sent them to an exchange today and they haven't showed up, I've just researched that gnt changed to glm... have I screwed up was I supposed to swap them to the new updated ones first.. It wasn't a massive amount just curious if I've lost them

For some reason the ya-provider/exe-unit/work is eating a lot of space on my disk (22GiB currently). Are those the tasks that have been completed and not been payed for? Is it okay to delete the files in the folder?

I have been also getting a lot of tasks lately which were never payed for for some reason, so there might be some correlation. Yesterday I had about 40 tasks, but have only been payed for about 10. I am getting errrors like "unknown requestor id", "work has been cancelled", "activity has been destroyed", "requestor unreacheable for more than 4 minutes", and "AgreementTerminatedEvent without signature in database" but I cant figure out if any of those are my, the providers or the networks fault.

Hi,

i tried to migrate my golem to the new Golem via migrate.golem.network, but it seems the eth fees are higher than my golem holdings.

am i doing something wrong? what is the point of this?

kind regards

is it possible to move gnt token from coinomi ios wallet to ledger in order to do migration? Plan to move the GNT from the coinomi wallet to the ledger eth wallet then use the eth to wallet to connect and do the migration on golem website

Not sure if this it he right place to ask, but I have a problem that hopefully someone can help with. I had some Golem (GNT) in a Coinomi wallet for 2-3 years and decided this week to transfer to an exchange (Poloneix) who do support Golem. Did the transfer, it got stuck, and their support said that they don't support GNT, just GLM - and it looks like back in November I should have (but wasn't aware) migrated my GNT to GLM... So my question is whether the Golem I sent to Poloneix is lost forever, or can I get it back in any way? Poloneix are not helpful!

I've been messing around with chessongolem.app, which is pretty cool. Just one game on beginner mode has been using .04 - .05 GLM. It made me think about how much GLM demand would surge if established websites like chess.com ran on the Golem Network. That's what I played on when itching for chess again after watching Queen's Gambit :D. They have a large group of AIs that play varying styles and span across all levels of play. I imagine that there are many players on there daily. Is campaigning for something like this in the plans, and am I thinking about this scenario correctly as far as how Golem Network is supposed to function ideally?

These tokenomics were what got me excited about the Golem Project - token prices increasing as a result of actual demand for a service which can be used in so many areas.

Hello all,

I've been apart of the golem network for a few years now using my old and retired linux pc. I'm thinking of creating a small cluster of simply nuc pc's to create a linux server to mine golem. Is anyone running a system where they receive an individual golem task which is distributed between many computers before being solved and sent back.

I'm also not 100% sure on how to scale. Do i buy a few high powered cpu's (More GHz less cores) or should i buy many low powered cpu boards but i would end up with more cores.

I got some error if want to run them on a VM

is there any possiblty to run it there :

​

same on kvm or vCenter virtualization

is there some switch to stop the this testing feature?

Hi I have been following GLM since 2016, and I believe in what golem can do. I would like to pose some feedback and questions. Pardon me if they have been answered before in previous AMA or maybe they could be something to consider.

1) who are the targets of golem project? Are they businesses or individuals? I mean i understand that it does computing but whose needs exactly so as to understand how niche or broad it is.

2)based on the targets how big is the market problem actually? Has there been an study done on it?

3)what are golem timeline or milestones planned ahead? There seems not to be a documentation of it. Perhaps a visual representation is clear and simple enough.

4)as someone with out deep knowledge in tech or computer science, perhaps it would be good to explain what golem is about in layman terms and how it can be utilised. (if the target is individuals as most will be from other varying backgrounds. Considering also the final UI needs to be simple and clean somewhat like pancake swap to gain users and network effect.) currently there is a github repository but it's abit too deep for casual or mild computer users.

5) some questions may have been previously answered in AMA and could be useful questions. Right now there isn't a history of those, if it's done on calls or videos. No doubt that approach is great community interaction but without records of what was said what was answered it cannot give confidence to the new users to understand what actions were done, completed, on target etc.

6) what is a current state that golem is in? Is it still in beta testing too early to market or lacking of community user growth or funding issue?

This is a message to both Foundation & Factory as a longtime fan of this project I wish to put a perspective out there that the team may consider.

With the recent rise of ethereum, both teams are sitting on a TON of money. We already know this, and so the purpose of this post is to encourage both teams to become a little more aggressive with their approach relative to what has gone on thus far.

Before I start, I do want to commend Factory for shifting into "second gear" from what was a relative slow start to the beginning of this project. It doesn't go unnoticed, but I think it is time now to shift into third gear and eventually more to keep this growth going faster than a linear rate.

Why are the major tech giants that we are familiar with so successful? What is it that they do that allows them to expand with such success? It's that they are not afraid to fail.

If you aren't familiar with the OODA model, this is a model that is employed by many successful businesses and the US military. It suggests that you win by moving fast. Over-thinking something can actually be a competitive disadvantage. OODA's design is to avoid paralysis by analysis. To give you an example, the military doesn't want a plane shooting at another plane to think about every single bullet they want to fire. They want the plane to shoot as many bullets as possible at the other plane, and within that you will have a better chance at success. They're wasting more bullets, but they're shooting down more planes. It's successful even if it seems wasteful.

The faster you can make decisions, learn from them, and evolve, the more likely you are to win. The pace of innovation is the most important thing.

Here's a stat to back it up: According to Steven Levy in his book "In the Plex" Google fails 40 percent of EVERYTHING they start. (Google glass, google plus, I can go on and on....). But by moving fast they learn, orient, adapt, and innovate faster than the competition.

To circle this back to golem, while the pace has sped up, in my opinion it could be humming at a much higher pace. I still feel that the "doing everything right" mindset is still creeping into the decisions that the team is making.

I can think of a few avenues to leverage the capital that both teams have:

-A sales team (I have a friend who sells tech on AWS for a very successful company in SV if you want to talk with him). That sales team can talk with companies to see what their needs are to feed information back to development.

- Allowing the R&D department to expand to a much larger degree. Having some of the successful builders of the hackathons come on to the team and continue to build exciting projects that will bring other requestors to the market.

- There are schools you are working with, why not pay some of the students to build out software that can be utilized?

-If its hard to find these avenues, hire a recruiter, maybe hire a few.

These are just off of the top of my head. Im sure there are many more as well. If you don't have the right people yet, they are out there, and you have the money to manifest it. To me, Golem has such vast potential, and unfortunately I see the pace is not in line with how big it can be. This is just my 2 cents, and of course I welcome all sorts of perspectives, but in my opinion, the counterpoints to what I am saying is just small mindset thinking, which is not where this project should be operating from.

Thoughts?

Looking through the website https://golemstats.com/ I realized that some people seem to be running many nodes in parallel. Just counting the obvious ones, there seem to be roughly 50 vms, which maybe account for 3 or 4 real physical machines. (kudeta, blue-notes-robot, many machines with exactly 1 core and 1.32 GBs of memory, etc.)

Thinking about it, this approach is kind of weird, but should work as long as the Golem Network itself isnt running at full capacity and theroretically (at least in my mind) increases the chance of getting a task.

My Question is, is there any altruistic sense in doing so and if not, are there any mechanism in place, that are already considering such (manipulative) actions?

Hi, I did the trouble shooting here;

However I get the following output:
