Ask HN: Is client computation a viable alternative to ads?

2 pointsby calanyaover 14 years ago
Would it be a reasonable business model to have visiting users donate computational power (via the javascript vm in their browser) as long as they're browsing a site?<p>An possibly valuable and easily parallelizable task is brute forcing (mid to low level) encryption keys.

How many page impressions add up to the equivalent of an hour of EC2 time? How does that compare to ads?
