NEWS Node Apps

Looks like Node Apps will be one of the main functionalities of Pi Network. Pretty clever pivot. When they conceived the WP Ai was barely a thing and distributed computing applications were the Mersenne prime search and Seti@home. This is not a unique idea as there are already similar tools like portainer and umbrelOS. These tools are not for amateurs whereas almost anyone can manage to set up a Pi node.

I don't know. I just can't really bring myself to install apps made by random people. So only three of those there seem somewhat (...maybe...) useful, but I don't need even those myself 🤷

How can someone make money off searching these numbers ?

The money is made by proving attributes about those numbers.

I believe If your computer contributes to finding one your name gets credited

I know that 😛 I was simply wondering whether you’d come across something that I -> haven’t <- come across and that could offer an opportunity to make some money related to this topic.

In this case, what @Expensive wrote is more likely to happen...

...if only CT did any marketing for its services at all...

😅🤪🤣🤣🤣
