- hga 11y agoI don't think education is this sort of consumption or production, in fact, when did people start buying PCs more for consumption? E.g. games and telecom/the Internet? Comparable might be buying more PC that you need, and selling the extra cycles. There have been for some time schemes that do that for non-profit uses, e.g. math (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Internet_Mersenne_Prime_Search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Internet_Mersenne_Prime_...) and science (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home), I now notice a huge list of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_distributed_computing_projects https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_distributed_computing_... But I think I would have heard of any "make money at home!" schemes....
