    Hi guys, how's everyone today?

    So i have a Gaming rig that i really can't stress that well. I've heard of bit mining and things like that. I was wondering: Given that my machine is on almost 24/7 and none of the games i currently play get even close to its performance threshold is there a way to make money with my computer?

    I know its a rather ridiculous idea but i'm really hurtin for money and i'm trying every single possible thing i can to get make some money. i've been trying to find a legitimate job for over a year with no luck where i live.

    thanks,
    chocoolives

    No, not in the way your describing. You can donate your free cpu time to charities like prime 95 and folding home but not make money. There are dodgy ways to use computers to make money like spamming and link clicking but your talking slave labour or outright work scams.

    There's an easy way to think of money making ideas like this, you need a product or service that no one else has and you need a demand for those products or services. You have a gaming computer and electricity which millions of people have and zero demand for small scale data processing tasks so it's a loser on both ends.

    If you do find a way to make money this way though, don't tell anyone and don't post it here:p

    You must be getting old Rikky. I say, put on a cape, and use said super computer to hax the world!


    :-D:-D

    And, since this is a tech sight, care to share the specs of said beast, so we can drool?

    As Rickky said, beyond world dominance, I don't see any way your computer would make you any money. But, if it does, let us know.

    I actually looked up bit mining and did some research on it, but my computer wouldn't be efficient with this idea because of the 700 watt power supply.

    I know it's not worth drooling over because its not an Intel product, but its the fastest processor i've ever had.

    AMD FX-8150@stock for now
    24GB of Ripjaws
    AMD 6950 2gb
    1tb wd
    X2 1tb samsung drives
    500GB wd os drive
    1tb seagate
    OCZ StealthXtreme 700 watt powersupply(may have gotten the name wrong)
