Also folding at home. I basically figure you’re donating your power consumption costs to science. I don’t know that there will ever be a way to make that profitable to the user renting their computer, considering power costs.
There are some crypto projects attached to boinc and f@h, like Gridcoin, that provide rewards for compute power. They are very much an added on layer that isn’t really worth much in real world dollars though.
I really like the idea of home users renting out compute.
(But I don’t like that only being specialized scam-connected compute.)
If you like distributed compute that isn’t running a scam, you should check out https://boinc.berkeley.edu/
