This is something that I've read about in Der Spiegel around maybe 2010 or 2015, which is that people can make money off of hiring out their hardware to scientific institutions for grid computing or volunteer computing, so those institutions can calculate the orbit of an asteroid or a medical drug (including vaccines) faster than they could without public grid computing.
The thing is, most examples that I've found by now are absolutely free, instead of the participants being paid for providing this service of hiring out their hardware. And everybody I keep talking to about this think I would be talking about Bitcoin mining instead, which has much higher financial entry levels before it becomes profitable to the participants.
So, could anybody here kindly point me to paid services of this kind that I could join, so that I could make money out of hiring out hardware to scientific institutions for grid computing? -- 2003:EF:1704:7260:801E:8517:FC48:EC46 ( talk) 21:51, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
