My idea is somewhat based on what is being proposed with Golem. However, Gridcoin is already up and running (Golem is still in development) and could bring a solution to market sooner and with the proven technology of the BOINC system. Also, BOINC/Gridcoin might be more attractive to a different set of clientele than Golem, such as research institutions or clients with larger computing needs.
I'm sure there is a market for research institutions or companies that need a large amount of computation but don't have unlimited work units and/or need their work completed in a rapid manner. Otherwise a project with unlimited work units or a long time horizon could go with a standard BOINC implementation and have to work done voluntarily like the other normal whitelisted projects.

True regarding clientele.
Also, I think implementation in the Gridcoin network would be a bit different than what they end up doing with Golem.
Looking forward to folding the idea into a more concrete proposal in the coming weeks.
