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.

    If you use electric heating, then the use of electricity for computation is basically free in winter, no?

      Purely electric heating is pretty rare I’d think. Most will be heat pump which is wayyy more efficient than an electric heater
