Let your gaming PC earn while you sleep

A 4090 bought for games is a datacentre-class card that idles most of the week. It can be listed, and you take it back the moment you want to play.

The card in a gaming PC is the same silicon a datacentre rents out. It is idle for most of the week, and idle hardware is worth nothing.

Why it is hard

  • It only earns while you are not using it

    Any arrangement that makes it awkward to take your own machine back is not worth entering, and most of them are exactly that.

  • You do not want strangers on your desktop

    The whole objection, and a fair one. Renting out a machine you also use for your own things is a security question before it is a money question.

  • The money has to be worth the bother

    A few cents an hour, paid quarterly, through a form, is not worth the setup. The arithmetic has to be visible before you start.

What answers it

  • Take it back whenever you want it

    Set it offline and it stops being offered. A rental already running finishes; nothing new starts. You are never waiting on us to get your own card back.

  • Renters cannot reach your machine

    Work runs in a container the host user cannot enter, with GPU scoping and LAN isolation. The container and its scratch volume are destroyed when the rental ends.

  • You keep 85%, to the microeuro

    Exact integer arithmetic on a euro ledger, so no cent is lost in rounding. What you earned and what we took are both on the line, per second.

Metering starts when the container does and stops when it stops. The rate is frozen the moment you match, so a provider re-pricing cannot change a running rental, and an aborted run costs what it used.
