Well, what do you see around you, who needs this?
I mean, OK, worked with the Web, so - might happen.
But even with the Web - we don't seem to be on Facebook now, do we?
Also p2p poolable resources are not a bad thing, so honestly I'd want more positive thoughts on this, with ideas how to make a functional p2p system of lending computing power, for games too.
Would likely need overhead in the form of some intermediate bytecode, though, due to different GPUs and architectures, and probably different kinds of it for GPUs and CPUs, and some way to pay, but in general such a thing if made could become the second really popular Kademlia application after BitTorrent.
OK, I've become very dreamy after putting together a clumsy Forth in C, that doesn't even do anything useful, but perhaps one day someone with longer hands.
