About Grass:

What is Grass? Grass is a decentralized network that allows users to earn rewards by sharing their unused internet bandwidth. By contributing bandwidth, users support the collection of public web data, which is utilized to train artificial intelligence models.

To participate in Grass, users can install the Grass desktop application, which runs in the background and shares idle bandwidth with the network. This setup enables users to earn rewards passively without significant effort.

For those interested in running Grass on a Virtual Private Server (VPS), there are community-driven resources available. For instance, an unofficial GitHub repository provides guidance on setting up Grass on a VPS, aiming to create a more efficient Grass environment.

Additionally, a Medium article offers a step-by-step tutorial on mining Grass using a VPS, including recommendations for affordable VPS services and proxy configurations.

It's important to note that while these community resources can be helpful, they are unofficial. Users should exercise caution and ensure they are comfortable with the technical aspects and potential risks involved in setting up Grass on a VPS.
