I don't think I articulated what I meant thoroughly.
By distributed I mean something like folding@home where a user
would get a slice of work and process/upload it.

I have absolutely *no idea* if this is even feasible. Just spitballing
what came into my head when thinking about how to share the load.

I mean just 1000 subscribers crunching on half power would be 
an immense resource, compared to just a few machines doing it.
