Well joking aside, its funny because things really used to be this way - sessions/jobs were an invoice line-item, but .. kidding aside - if one tried to practically apply such follies - I think this might be another place that Bitcoin - and micro-transactions - would be useful.

I'd be quite happy to lend my CPU to appservers, knowing it was going to have transactions in my favour somehow.

So maybe there will be a Linux distro that plugs into Ethereum, somehow? Or hell, containers, sorry pardon me ..
