Distributive DCP lets you compute other people's distributed research/workloads and get paid for it (no crypto involved).

Compute workloads get run in secure js/wasm compute nodes (which could be your browser, or a screensaver, etc). For instance, my friend built a Blender cycles renderer using it

It's cool tech continuing the awesome legacy of BOINC! I work at Distributive, AMA if you're curious

I browsed the website but was unable to find any information on how much credits are worth

A commercial version of Boinc - nothing wrong with that. However, the website give no indication of price, except a claim that it is less expensive then the cloud.

More important for this discussion: there is zero indication of what people earn, in return for offering their computing power. Which probably means that it isn't much - better to mine some random coin?
