Concept for Distributive Render Community

So I came up with an idea yesterday that I thought was pretty novel. It will most likely never happen but if it does, I get credit and 50% of ownership.

This is along the lines of 'Folding at Home' or 'SETI at Home' where you can have other people process your data for you ie. render your projects. You can upload pieces or frames to a central server that distributes these to users that have open CPU cycles. You would then get the finished product delivered to you, possibly even encrypted.

You would have to have some sort of incentive to get people to donate their CPU time and I came up with a bit torrent like ratio. Time that you donate towards the community gets credited to your account and when you want to have something processed for you, you need to have the credit available to do. Or you have to maintain a certain ratio to be able use people's services.

This would require a lot of work though. You would need a community that is available for people to congregate around and upload their projects and set themselves available for processing. Also, you would need support from the product developers themselves in providing cheap or free render licenses to users.

This is a little pie in the sky and would require a lot of cooperation from a lot of different facets but it could change the small small studios and freelancers work and the way they interact together.
