The problem is really data integrity.
Regardless of how smart it is I would not go for a shared "cloud???" for any data that is transaction based and / or require 100% uptime.
I saw similar concepts about 10 years ago where you paid for bandwidth + CPU power consumed, also the SETI program used shared CPU technology.
Also remember a couple of sponsor programs that offered to "rent your iddle cpu", not really sure what happenned to them, the idea was not bad (considering the CPU power available 10 years ago)
