Payments
How and when you get paid for sharing your compute power.
Getting Paid
You earn money every second your computer is sharing power. Here's how payments work.
Payment Methods

Venmo
US only. Instant transfers to your Venmo balance. Great for quick access.
Payout Schedule
- Weekly payouts: Every Monday
- No minimum: Get paid even if you only earned $1
- No fees: We cover all transaction fees
How Much Can I Earn?
Earnings depend on your hardware and how long you share:
| Hardware | Daily (8hrs) | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Integrated GPU | $1-3 | $30-90 |
| GTX 1060/RX 580 | $3-6 | $90-180 |
| RTX 3060/RX 6700 | $6-12 | $180-360 |
| RTX 4070+/M3 Pro+ | $8-24 | $240-720 |
Real example: Our average user earns about $700/month running at medium power level overnight and on weekends.
