Sure, currently there are 2 major areas: 1) Creating web proxies for web scraping from residential addresses 2) Mining cryptocurrencies #2 pays less than the electricity consumed, but there are lots of circumstances where people don't pay for their own electricity. #1 doesn't use much cpu, but it's about as sleezy as #2.

And something other than the well known SETI-at-home, etc. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
