Howdy!
Over the last few years I've been working on a project that I originally conceived when I did grub.org back in 1999. Here's the blurb from the Github repository (
https://www.github.com/stackmonkey):
Utter.io is like AirBnb for excess compute: The utter.io project provides fast location and provisioning of compute resources within a cooperative set of systems managed by OpenStack operators. Resource accounting inside the network is settled with Bitcoin and purchases of compute instances can be made by users without an account. Additionally, groups of operators can form ad hoc hybrid clouds, allowing fast scaling and sharing of excess compute resources between trusted entities. If you are familiar with cloud terminology, this idea may be one possible solution to some of the challenges in achieving a global cloud federation.
