It would be awesome to create a coin that renders big movie, music or game projects.
There is definitely a need for core-Rendering power out there.
This would have real world industry and hobby level uses.

After some searching there seems to be a market for it with https://www.rendercore.com
Though their RenderCoin doesn't seem to a blockchain based currency, but a centralized e-currency like BitGold.

I'm probably going to start fiddling with a BOINC virtual box project and see if I can something going with Gridcoin, as I'm sure there's no need for a new Alt Coin.

BOINC might be a half-assed approach from a layperson, but it's probably all I'm capable of on my own - if that.

Anyways, food for thought I guess..




Note: If anyone does start rolling with this idea please involve me in some small way! Smiley
You may not want to use my code commits but I'm pretty damn good with graphics & logos, also I'd be the first to contribute cores to the project - and moniess

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Good idea, but why restricting this to rendering? You could lease your all-purpose processing power and earn coins with it. I remember a project called Slicify which did that, but that also was a centralized service.
