I peeked their website (dodged the barrage of cookies and typed in the
url of the next page). Looks ambitious - I wish them the Best of
British. <g>
If an ISP supported this on the smarthost, they'd more-or-less have to
bill the customer...? So, does that make them an ally, since our cash
is cheaper?
It leads me to ask the question, though, what financial value can we
attach to CPU time? I'm sure the question has been kicked around by
the various "sell your CPU time" companies that have popped up. I can
see it should vary from zero to something over 8e-6 pence, per second
(based on a gbp700 box running for three years, plus 50 quid for the
leccy)
Anyone fancy working out the financial cost of the reduced probability
of winning the d.net prize?
