Does anyone have any experiences with these services like gollum Network? Is it safe? Does it earn you a net monetary gain compared to your electric bill? I have a pretty nice desktop that sits around for most of the day, just wondering what else I can do with it while I’m at work.
Please note, I’m asking specifically for people who have actually done this and what their experiences were, good and bad. I understand I’m not going to make tons of (or possibly any) money or start a business.
Especially since in the summer every watt you use has to be cooled with your AC. In the winter the temp is on your side a little, but still probably going to be hard to break even.
If you use electric heating, then the use of electricity for computation is basically free in winter, no?
