Distributed computing is still in its infancy, but there already exist pay for work projects

Pop by in the DC forum and ask and you'll have lots of answers. One of the companies that offers to pay you for your processing time is Process Tree, I don't think they're paying yet tho' as they're still working on perfecting the client as far as I know.

IMO there's no doubt that DC has a bright and shining future just for the kind of things that are too big to handle for a single "farm" and are non sensitive in nature. Besides it can (already has?!? ) become a much cheaper way for research projects that don't have alot of funding to get cheap processing power.

Just my $0.02
