As you all know, anonymous proxies are networks that act as the middle man in information exchange by processing all your IO through their computers in some foreign location, masking your IP and making you effectively invisible. And as you all know, good anonymous proxies cost money. The best ones cost, you guessed it, MORE money. So heres an idea I had:

1. The anonymous proxy owners contacts the owners of large distributed computing projects.
2. The proxy makes a deal with the DCO (Distributed Computing organization) to be paid a certain amount of money for each megabyte (Very small increments for this type of operation).
The DCO provides the anonymous proxy with data that needs to be processed.
3. Anonymous proxy develops a client to download to use their proxy. Each user has an account username and password when they register via the client.

Now, in the operation of a proxy, users may download/send a gigabyte or more daily on the proxy. This adds up to huge costs for the proxy owners. So, instead of paying money, the user pays in computing cycles. If the user thinks he/she will exchange 400mbs, she must download and process 1.5 that much. This would be 600mbs in this case. After processing the user must then upload the data back to the anon.proxy.

I like this idea, but sometimes the cost of using computer cycles, plus the uploading and downloading, can sometimes add up to more then the amount of money you would have to pay to use an anonymous proxy. Also, sorry if this doesnt truly fit into computer security.
