Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
I think you managed to reinvent cloud computing haha.
No, really, you can't own compute (without renting) if you don't own a computer, and if you're trying to sell it for a profit, then you're competing with Azure and AWS.
Frankly speaking, as an individual, you're SOL, businesses like this live and die off scale, not to mention the issues with obsolescence.
But no, the fungible "compute" you envision doesn't exist outside buying shares of companies providing it. Crypto wouldn't work, since most of it is proof of work for already spent compute.
