> a secure remote compute arrangement is sort of a natural extension from Qubes

I see what you mean, but on the other hand it's a threat to the endpoint security she's worked so hard on. If Intel offered a solution that allowed remote users to run code on your machine, no matter how secure they claimed it to be the response here would rightfully be 'what could go wrong?' Can it be made secure enough?

(I'm aware that Intel already offers such things, including via SGX which others in this discussion say is utilized by Golem.)
