hang on a second, that's it! require that users run BOINC as a part of your distributed computing system for access (perhaps by requiring 10 "credits" per month, first month free, with credits earned through computing power) and sell the computing power for money. if you include a javascript-based BOINC client anyone can do it. it also doesn't directly cost people money.
