Paid Programs

Sick and tired of doing boring work and earning peanuts? Now you can earn peanuts (or even more) for doing almost nothing! Enter paid-to-run programs, which quietly process work in your computer and earn you cash while you sleep! Sounds too good to be true? Its not. Before the "Its a scam" alarm bells start sounding in your head, let me explain how paid programs work exactly to assure you that it is not a "free lunch" scam.

Distributed Computing

Distributed computing is a system where by multiple autonomous computers are connected to a network and installed with a distributed system application. The application is normally a processing software used to solve a larger computational problem. In layman's terms, it attempts to provide a solution to a large problem by breaking it down into smaller, manageable parts for many individual computers to solve before combining the individual solutions to solve the problem.

Benefits

In the business world, there are many benefits this new model of computing can offer:

1. Enhanced performance and availability

2. Cost reduction

3. Bridged geographical distances

4. Maintainence of autonomy among participants

Why arent there many for-pay distributed computing projects then?

There are still many obstacles in implementing this nascent model full scale. There are:

1. Lack of feasible, practical applications

2. Security issues

3. Management challenges

4. Standardization problems

That being said, however, does not mean that there are no projects that pay. There are two that I recommend. They are:

Gomez Peer

The only for-pay distributed computing project that pays out on a regular basis. Users download and install a small and secure web monitoring program which reward them based on the amount of online and processing time. In short, participants get paid for simply being online. Gomez Peer has been running for approximately a decade and was owned by Privio before being acquired by Gomez, a huge leading IT company. Its application has been rated by credible magazines such as the Computing Times in the US, hence potential users need not worry of it being a scam.

Distributed.net

The Internet's first general purpose distributed computing project. Distributed.net specialises in legal cryptography schemes and is currently rewarding individuals who can find the secret code to the RC5-72 project. The winner receives a cash prize of US$1,000.
