It’s pretty hand-wavy from the description and I’d want to see a white paper, but it’s not the worst use I’ve heard of for (presumably) Ethereum. Still probably inefficient compared to a more traditional distributed system like Folding@Home, except for the payments part, which could be completely automated.
