Interesting post, thanks. I’ve been thinking about this problem also, and wonder if a site for the purposes of rating/reviewing compute snippets would help encourage take-up (presently one issue is the security problems associated with running JavaScript from anonymous sources). In general, I think this is a hugely under-explored topic, and wonder what the blockers are to getting more activity around it?

Aside: if you’re not already aware, the links to your demo are broken. When starting the demo, I get “NetworkError: 504 Gateway Time-out – http://antimatter15.110mb.com/misc/distcrack/work.php?undefined“, and when getting stats, I get “TypeError: _d.d is undefined”.

It is pretty small, though yeah, hash collision isn’t useful at all. Would be great if it was on facebook or google though

Nothing new. How about including this into facebook or google? And something more usefull than hash collision would be useull. Still need to be small enaugh to be unnoticed.

That’s the idea, but BOINC is much more complicated.

Hello, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Did you contact anyone from Boinc (SETI@home etc…) and tell them about your script ?
It could increase the performance by a thousandfold at least.
Boinc average being 2.6 PFLOPS at the moment.
