I want my cut! I've been pushing this idea for over a year now (as my HN and other social media comment histories can attest), most recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16242816 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16242816 I should have patented this when I first had it. Waiting for streaming music and video to embed mining in their players... Or websites pooling together to stabilizing income streams and provide bulk access. The idea to rent computer time to a publisher in exchange for content can be taken further.

Terrible idea, and hubris on your part for thinking you can patent this "idea".
