Decentralization of the BOINC web server

Discussing this topic on the BeyondBitcoin hangout (1hr 23mins in!)

There's certainly been attempts at decentralizing a BOINC project's storage in the past, but as far as I'm aware there has yet to be a fully decentralized BOINC project.

Do you think it could be possible? Especially if we were to scale back the web server (remove features).

Graphene: Witnesses each running a mirror of a BOINC web server, randomly pick one to publish their work unit verification info to the network & have the other witnesses confirm it's correct. Would have to scale back the functionality of the BOINC project web server.

Could alternatively not utilize BOINC, using a more appropriate distributed computing platform/technology - CONDOR, Wikipedia: Comparison of cluster software.

Gridcoin would not be compatible with non-BOINC solutions though, unless the DPOR/NeuralNetwork mechanisms were adapted.
