To rent your computer?

[aizzaku]

Oh boy this looks pretty sketchy to me. Anyone can just do anything with you IP address you know. Also for cross country what will you do if it is used for something legal in his country but illegal in you country. i would just say totally avoid any of this because u know even these company guys cant monitor all the traffiic right, if they do they will be invading customer privacy.

Yes, this might happen. But we can track the activities of a user along with time so that we will be able to backtrack to who will be abusing. Similar problems are most common for VPN/VPS providers, still they are managing their business successful. So, with proper regulations renting out computers will also be a profitable way of gaining passive income out of our computer.

I think this Idea only works good if you rent your system for mining purposes.. you run your system for another pool and he pay you some for doing this..

giving someone authority to use your system is not good... I don't think he can do hacking with this as hacking need high speed transfers and this thing make the system very slow..

there is a software name Teamviewer give this feature to connect with someone else's computer and use that system.

Okay, i agree u can track. But this will need proper background work and good knowledge of computers as well because i dont u can blindly rely on companies right. Well if someone can assure me that this is legit then i am in for it.

You do not have to rent out your whole computer, you could simply rent your disk space and then earn some Alt coin and then sell that

for Bitcoin. I have not tested this, but these guys are doing this, http://filecoin.io/ - You install Filebox -- the Filecoin mining client -- and

allocate some disk space to rent. Filebox then stores others' files to mine Filecoin for you. It might be some shitcoin, I have not tried it, so

use with caution.

We need to answer couple question here first:

1. Do you honestly think that you will earn more from 'renting' your PC than you will pay for energy to power it?
   I imagine that in the best case scenario you will earn slightly more money than faucet could bring you.

2. What is the level of access we are talking here? Giving someone full control over your machine is undesirable.

3. Can you do something else during time when your computer is rented, or it will be stuck processing some calculations or data?

It is totally harmful for your and for your personal data that you will give your computer or laptop on rent to someone as he will install some trojans in your PC and when you will use it he will get all the data of you through his trojan installed.

It all depends on the reputation of the company that's going to lease your cpu power,I once join in this kind of program some years ago and that company has a good reputation and thousands of feedbacks coming from their users,google it first before joining their program .

I don't think it's worth trusting people your computer for just a couple of dollars. They can rent your computer for just five minutes and then copy the cookies of your browser, thus, gaining access to your accounts. There are also private files that you have to keep to yourself. They can also install a key logger in your computer if they weren't able to get anything from your browser's cookies.

Definitely No, i would not rent my personal computer/s ,if that such uknown things they visit or do we have no claim for that even they do illegal transactions we don't know it so the tendency if someone trace its IP and you are the one who will caught by policemen cause  its your computer .its very hard to rent your computer nowadays but maybe you can do some privacy to block those illegal sites or uknown sites to be opened.
