System, method, and computer program for performing distributed outsourced computing

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for performing distributed outsourced computing. In operation, a master node in a general distributed computing cluster monitors a network for computing resources. The general distributed computing cluster includes the master node and a plurality of slave nodes. The master node determines whether computing resources are available from one or more of the plurality of slave nodes. If it is determined that computing resources are available, the master node identifies the one or more of the plurality of slave nodes as an auxiliary master node. Further, the master node publishes information associated with one or more unfinished computing tasks dedicated to the master node to a blockchain for access by the one or more of the plurality of slave nodes for processing.
