Not so long ago appeared https://deepart.io where you can generate images styled to your favorite artist. Actually, guys do it for free, but a lot of wishing unrealistic, because the waiting time the result has already reached several days. Or, the same guys offer to speed up this process to the symbolic $1.99 per image. Payment only paypal (although you can donate project in btc).

At the heart of the image processing algorithm is this one:
https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style

Complete instructions for installing by Linux here:
https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style/blob/master/INSTALL.md

The work of the algorithm described here:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.06576v2.pdf

Handling is very demanding on the hardware, but with some powerful video card, you can put these things on the flow for a modest fee, measured in 0.001 btc, for example. And today's two bucks for a picture - is somehow not cool. Well, given the already very huge demand for this new theme, and having a strong farm hand, it seems to me quite possible to earn good money.

PS
The algorithm actually produces very steep results.

If one of the miners will do - write me as one of the first customers. Thank you.
