I'm somewhat familar with SETI etc.
A Poser renderfarm project is more different. Rendering just one single frame with Poser takes time and may need lots of resources. Running Poser as a background task is not so good.

No reason why the job owner shouldn't pay for the service. To render 1000 Frames may cost between $100 and $200 or something like that.

I'm a programmer with a good knowledge about distributed computing. I see no problem with a project like that. Poser has Python, so it is quite easy to control a job from a central server.
