Leasing the computation equipment is a sensible way to bootstrap the process. There's risk associated with siting a computer at someone's home; if the homeowner has some money invested in the computer, they're less likely to walk off with it, repurpose it, or accidentally damage it.
If there's a developed home heating/computation market, homeowners would be happy to invest in a compuheater.
- dylandrop 13y agoI think that a better way to hold homeowners responsible would be to charge them for damage rather than charge them for simply having it. It would probably convince more people to join in the first place. This brings me to your second point -- the problem is precisely that there ISN'T a developed home heating/computation market, which is why it would be difficult to convince people to use it (considering they have no idea if it will work and what trouble it could cause them).
