Improve this question

I made a website that does absolutely nothing, and I've proven to myself that people like to stay there - I've already logged 11+ hours worth of cumulative time on the page.

My question is whether it would be possible (or practical) to use the website as a distributed computing site.

My first impulse was to find out if there were any JavaScript distributed computing projects already active, so that I could put a piece of code on the page and be done. Unfortunately, all I could find was a big list of websites that thought it might be a cool idea.

I'm thinking that I might want to start with something like integer factorization - in this case, RSA numbers. It 开发者_Go百科would be easy for the server to check if an answer was correct (simply test for modulus equals zero), and also easy to implement.

Is my idea feasible? Is there already a project out there that I can use?
