Respectfully, nah. I don’t want to troubleshoot compute nodes in varying states of abuse. I’d rather deal with 10,000 of them crammed into a dc for consistency purposes.

Things like BitTorrent are quite resilient and cope well with unreliable nodes.

Shouldn’t be that hard to design something that is primarily distributed and falls back on straight download.

Things like hugging face serving petabytes of files that are huge and don’t really change.

Compute is probably a bit harder to reliably stick onto residential
