Not so serious answer: Hurray for that? :D

Serious answer: Things would obviously have to be designed differently. This isn't about distribution of "economic power to the hands of the people" or some other Satoshi notion. The thought I have is more along the lines of Folding@Home

If this isn't about some "Satoshi notion", then what does blockchain have to do with it? Just do something like Folding@Home. There are several projects like that.
