I think distributed backup (of encrypted files) could be a great use case. But (like the CDN case mentioned elsewhere) this is also more demanding of bandwidth than CPU, which isn't really what you want here if your goal is to produce heat.
Distributed rendering of video content could maybe be a good use case - moderate bandwidth requirements, heavy CPU/GPU utilization, data not overly sensitive.
- Xylakant 12y agoDistributed backup is actually a good case. It's usually bandwith taxing in terms of upload speed and most internet connections in Germany are asymmetric in favor of download speed (which would be the right direction if the server is in your home). My connection has 50MBit/sec download and only 8 Mbit/sec upload.
