Example

[0013]While this technology is susceptible of embodiment in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail several specific embodiments with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the technology and is not intended to limit the technology to the embodiments illustrated.

[0014]Generally speaking, the present technology may be configured to exchange virtual rewards for computing resources within the context of a networked gaming system. The networked gaming system may be implemented as a server-based or cloud-based gaming system that facilitates a networked gaming environment. An exemplary networked gaming environment may include an MMORPG, first-person shooter, or other networked program. As mentioned above, the implementation of these networked gaming environments requires a large amount of computational resources, such as processing capacity, memory, storage, network ba...

Abstract

Systems and methods for exchanging virtual rewards for computing resources are provided herein. Exemplary methods may include receiving access to a portion of computing resources of an end user computing system and providing a virtual reward within a networked gaming environment to an end user in exchange for utilizing an amount of the portion of the computing resources of the end user computing system.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This non-provisional patent application relates to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 191,321, filed on Jul. 26, 2011, entitled “Systems and Methods of Distributed File Storage,” which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present technology relates generally to the exchanging of virtual rewards for computing resources, and more specifically, but not by way of limitation, to the provisioning of virtual rewards within a networked gaming environment in exchange for the computing resources (e.g., processing, memory, bandwidth, and so forth) of an end use computing system.BACKGROUND[0003]Virtual rewards within gaming environments are ubiquitous. These virtual rewards may be provided to the end user in exchange for actions conducted within the gaming environment or the purchase of game related products that are either intrinsic or extrinsic to the gaming environment. The composition of virt...
