Oh, I'm being completely serious. I've been interested in crypto since about 2013.

There is no need to use Blockchain for this. Computing pools like this have been used for ages

crypto fizzled years ago without a major use case. source: check google trend history.

bitcoin wouldn't be useful for tracking the rental of cpu/gpu assets.

Yeah, no Bitcoin would be the wrong chain for that. But there are other chains that would work better for such a use case.

Bitcoin is really too slow and too expensive for automated tasks like that. There are other chains such as Solana, etc that are much faster and much cheaper that would work better for that kind of use case.
