The incentive is huge, if I spend 2 milliseconds sending you your previous results instead of 2 hours running your new computation, I can (pretend to) run way more computations on the same hardware and collect hundreds of time more money.

At the risk of being exiled off the platform and earning nothing. Don't forget, there is a bit of KYC with Stripe.

ID verification before you can host and random audits from gpudeploy.

NO. That's the worst way to do almost anything on the Internet, and should be considered a last-line defense, if nothing else can be done. Here, it can be. See my comment above.

That's my whole question, do they do random audits, or is it the job of customers to double-check their results for possible attack or compute-theft and report.

[greenish_shores]

It seems wrong to call it a "job of customers". It's like you wrote a Bitcoin client which didn't verified hashes of transactions, "trusting" everything. Or like serving a website with login feature supporting only HTTP, not HTTPS. It is a very basic feature of whatever software would connect to such services.

So it is the job of the customer to write their own Bitcoin or HTTPS client, in your metaphor.

Every technology was (very) underdeveloped at some early point in its evolution.

That's what I asked, how developed is it now. Why so defensive?
