Isn't that like what the SETI project does? (Except that they don't buy the cpu power, they ask people to volunteer) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI#SETI.40h

"Any individual can become involved with SETI research by downloading the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) software program, attaching to the SETI@home project, and allowing the program to run as a background process that uses idle computer power."
- fsniper 17y agoYes it's something like it. There is another base difference; SETI@home or other folding projects have a centralized infrastructure for the data to be collected and bound. And all the software to be run on the client side are written for a specific mission. So every software should be rewritten for these platforms. My MassiveClouding dream has a some way of dissecting any software into parts and run on the clients. That's why it's a dream.
