https://iex.ec/
France based platform for people to invest in, participate in, and build applications for decentralized Cloud Computing. Actual money in exchange for your machines efforts. An exciting entry that looks like something I would let my mom get involved with.



Pros
  • This is NOT the place to swap imaginary money that doesn't exist like Tether, and exchange it for money that does, like Bitcoin, therefore ripping off millions of people and the literal spirit of what this is all about it. This is a place where you can participate in Decentralized Cloud Resources where you're part of the cloud. Neat! The whitepaper references a Dapp category called pyramid schemes. The actual platform offers products designed to address and counter act some of the pump and dump techniques seen elsewhere. I like products and services that make smarter customers, and I like when companies or platforms tell the truth. Using Desktop Grid computing ( aka your computer runs an app for someone or something while you're not using it, ala SETI@Home) you can I find this cool.
Cons
  • Touting the success of their April 2017 ICO to me is a turn off. Not because I hate success, or despise winners, but because ICO's as an object, are distasteful to me due to the pump and dumps we have all seen in so many places. I am splitting hairs, but at least they're not explicitly telling us we have no recourse when their company goes embezzeled up.
