I'm not trusting the average person to not let it turn into a botnet.
You're not wrong, but those already exist and are less bad for society than data centers.
To be fair, I trust the average person more than I trust the people currently building data centres.
People already have phones that can get turned into botnets so I don’t think it’s a new problem.
Hell, just have them host services on the phone with peer to peer networking.
