Rent out your computer's processing power and earn money while helping others
Before listing your PC, you need to register your PC. Run the following script on your machine:

Used to estimate your local energy rates
Optional: Helps provide more accurate rate estimates
How many kilowatt-hours you get per dollar. Check your energy bill or use the calculator.
• Your energy rate helps calculate the true cost of running your PC
• This information is used to help you set competitive pricing
• Your actual energy costs will be deducted from your earnings
