5/x by adding a voluntary computational component to distributed clients (think SETI) the federated distributed network could rival the computational capability of the centralized oligoprocessopoly (data centers)

Federated networks could form distributed computing platform for massively parallel tasks:
- App is sandboxed computational env
- Followers of a tasker would let device (phone) perform calcs on toot code and reply with soln
- "nodes" could set limits on num tasks/day and total flops.
- with […]
