You're not describing a problem that users need fixing. You're describing how nice it would be for corporations to unload their own infrastructure requirements onto unsuspecting users to try to piggyback on their hardware. That's not a solution to any problem. That's in fact a problem being created for users. Consumers purchase hardware to fill their needs, and there's nothing to be gained for wasting their resources and energy to power someone else's business.

- laktek 9y agoIsn't this the reason why they introduced Filecoin? To incentivize consumers to share their resources.
- geezerjay 9y ago> Isn't this the reason why they introduced Filecoin? That assumes that all users are morons. If they want to pay anything to use else's hardware and energy then they only need to pick up their wallet and offer real cash. Offering another Dogecoin competitor to convince people to give away their energy bill and hardware is just a fancy way to officially assert that the people who fall for these gimmicks are complete morons who give away their resources in exchange for glorified arcade tokens.
- thinkloop 9y agoThe "arcade tokens" can be reliably traded for cash since other people need them to access real resources.
