Another suggestion: BitWrk is looking for volunteers! It's a Bitcoin-driven, open marketplace for computing power, where everybody can be a buyer and a seller. BitWrk has its roots in this forum. It is currently in development, but it is definitely not vaporware, as proved by yesterday's test.

There are a lot of opportunities to contibute to BitWrk:

• Development work on the main software. Like to try developing in Go?
• Setting up a good-looking, extensible and maintainable home page.
• Enhancing the integration of Blender.
• Integrating more compute-intensive software products. E.g., there are lots and lots of ray-tracers around! There is an opportunity to share revenue.
• Providing tutorial videos.
• Providing the community with news and support.
• Last but not least: Just setup your server to do Blender rendering for others will make the BitWrk service more useful for users, right now!

That's just what comes to my mind.

Disclosure: I am the founding developer of BitWrk.
