This is a really good idea, but I'm not convinced of the Crypto mining side of it.

Why not just build a system that allows customers to buy and sell CPU resources, in a similar way to how a ad network allows customers to buy and sell ads?

i guess because the consumers might not always be tech savvy. they just want those items/coins/rewards in whatever game/app they are playing/using. a minor pop-up about the mining stuff wouldnt bother them (although app perf might be affected). that's how i see it.
