Hum... I see and well, this is frustrating.
I met this other project on https://github.com/miha-stopar/xCloud wich has a similar purpose to mine and I tought it would be possible/viable.

Hello everyone,

I am developing a project in Brazil wich uses distributed computing as well and as I am in a very embrionary stage I have some doubts about the technology itself.
In my project I aim to do the reverse path that Boinc does wich is: provide processing power to end users from a server through the internet.
The question that I have is: what's the real advantage to use distributed computing?
Is it a real enhance to the processor (local cpu + remote processing) or you will just be replacing local processing for remote processing?
To a end user using 100% processing power from the server, would his local cpu be idle?
I don't know if at this point you guys understand but this project is for people with low incomes have access to computers, wich are expensive here in Brazil.
