Turn Your idle computers into a DdoS fighting army with Gladius

The word DdoS attack brings shivers to the spine of any online Business owner.
I as a website owner can relate to this word in more ways then one.
For one it means being cutoff and wiped out from the internet world during the span of a DdoS attack resulting in loss of business, repute and revenue.
It also means paying high sums of money to big companies every month so that they may ward off a DDOS attack on my website in case it were to happen.
It is a lot of money, something like $5000 that we pay every month to a vendor providing CDN & DDOS protection services to keep our websites secure. Ever though the attack may or may not happen who knows?

Looking at the graphs below we know that the frequency of the DdoS attacks has only gone up over the last few years and it only keeps going up.

Another things that keeps going up is my electricity bill for running my computers all the time and being connected to the internet. A necessity of running an online business but they are never 100% utilized. Most of the time a lot of this computing power, electricity and internet bandwidth is just being used for nothing. Yet it makes a steady dent in my balance sheet.
Perhaps to turn these challenges into a new business idea that is not only viable but also a money maker for the masses is the idea behind Gladius.
Gladius is offering anyone to install & run its software on a desktop PC
This software would run in the background and rent out the PC's spare bandwidth and storage capacity to the Gladius network. The person running the software would get paid in GLA an Ethereum based token which would be the money to buy and sell services when you become a part of the Gladius world.

Gladius is creating a “Decentralized CDN and DDoS Protection on the Blockchain”
The Gladius network has 2 distinct user groups that mutually help each other. On one side are those contributing their computers spare bandwidth and earning revenue.

On the other side are businesses paying and hiring the Gladius CDN & Ddos protection services.

Gladius is utilizing the unutilized bandwidth of computers around the world to create a decentralized CDN & DDoS protection network. In this scheme of things Users running the Gladiussoftware and contributing power to the network would be earning GLA tokens and Companies would save money by using these CDN & DDoS protection services offered to them at a much lower prices then a conventional CDN & DDoS protection service provider.
I intend to make the best of both worlds firstly use my computers to earn GLA tokens and use these tokens to buy my website a resonably prized CDN & DdoS protection offered by Gladius.
