Wow, so many answers in such short time. Thank You all for Your insights on this!
So, to reiterate all the ideas and how I feel about them: - William: HOD seems like a good idea. Of course we (I work with my colleague from school) should respect user CPU time and don't eat it when user is watching a movie or playing a game. - Ed: Patry looks very interesting, because it already assumes that the nodes will fail and is self-organising. I'll definitely take a deeper look on this. - Brian: out of Your recommendations no. 1 (Condor) seems like a nice fit for our needs. As for security - it's a matter to discuss, we have some ideas how to secure the network and check data integrity (look below) - Allen: In regard of data integrity, we thought of a system that pushes same data to at least two nodes and then compares the results. If they are identical, we assume that the result is correct and store it. If not, we send it again to someone else. Sure, this approach is making a lot of replication (2x or even more) but I should make a guarantee that results are intact. -- Best regards, Maciej "mav" Trębacz
