Ask HN: Other than crypto-mining, what are some other rewarded computations?

1 pointsby bkcreateover 7 years ago
Most everyone has heard of cryptocurrency mining at this point, but what are some of the lesser known cases where you can put your computing power to work? I have heard vaguely about "donating" processing power to NASA for some kind of research but I don't know many details.
