I think if there's a service where people pay to compute on these devices and this payment is shared with people renting the devices. Then there can be a net positive income, provided multiple people can compute stuff on the same renter's hardware. Although, this might not work for heavy workloads at all. How much money exactly are you saving by running your stuff on other people's devices. Dedicated server space has become cheap enough that there's no need to perform these compute power renting shenanigans. But then the dedicated server space has a much larger carbon footprint, and costs a lot on upkeep and maintenance. About the security issue, how much of it do you think can be solved by encryption and/or containerisation?
