Gather Network uses a hybrid of Proof of Stake and Proof of Work consensus model that allows publishers to monetize their audience by using their computer’s idle processing power to secure blockchains and power the Gather Cloud service.
Monetizing an audience on the web has traditionally been difficult. If a creator or publisher wants to generate a revenue stream using their audience they’re typically forced to resort to a Faustian bargain of serving ads. Instead of bombarding an audience with ads in exchange for revenue, Gather helps its creators utilize their audience for revenue without a single advertisement.
Gather runs in the background of developers’ websites where each user agrees to aggregate idle processing power then distribute it to enterprises for cloud computing and merged mining services.
