Topic: To rent your computer? - page 2. (Read 2652 times)
if you can do it without moving your PC and they won't take your security stuff, that is great. however if you have to move your PC to them, no because you cannot port your PC easily even if it is portable enough.
Would you rent your apartment or house? But what if someone bring prostitutes, and make drug house from your apartment?
If someone have more then one house, it's normally that you will live in one and rent all others, depending from contract you create with people who rent it, thats much you will be protected.
It's same with computers, my personal is something I would never rent, but in case I have 10 computers sitting for nothing, I would rent them and collect money each month. I don't care what will someone do with them, there is contract if he destroy something he will pay for that.

Check out their lease packages. This is how it works - you pay (yes. You) Kairosplanet based on the package you are interested in. Then you fulfill the contract obligations by keeping your computer online 10 hours a day, and you will get paid on a daily basis. I read online that the ROI period is 5 to 6 months. Anything longer than that is profit.

Rent out your complete pc is such a bad idea. Rent out hash power instead.

I have never heard of this types of service before and i don't think they even pays enough to cover electricity cost while running our computer full day.
Very high risk... You don't know who is using your computer. High risk to receive a virus, to be hacked, stolen, arrested and many other terrible possibilities! This kind of service just worth if you rent your computer to someone trustworthy that you have sure won't do unlawfully things.
I suppose it could be used for people who need a computer located in a separate country. This is similar to an rdp however it would not be avaliable 24/7 so won't be as useful as an rdp.
i'd like to see some legal precedents before letting any old psycho loose on my machine. even if that was fine, i'd wanna know how much of my processing power was gonna get used up. if there's one thing I hate it's a sluggish computer, even more so if I ain't benefiting from it.
The risk of abuse, malwares, stolen data and problems with law enforcement is to big in comparison to some small earning. It's not worth it, better look for some other source of income. The thing that someone wants to borrow your computer when he has all services available online and in cloud it's suspicious itself.
Urgh. Big NO. I would never ever do this. And I suggest you don't even think about it. Handing over control of your computer to some unknown person? For rental? How much could it possibly pay for anyone to even consider doing this.
We have to be careful of anything we download from the net, we even have to be wary of sites we visit, links we click.
And now, handing over control of your PC to someone over the net, to do with as they please.
It would probably be loaded with virus, malware, bots and who knows what else. Any sensitive info you enter like passwords,emails,banking could be compromised and stolen. Not to mention any other illegal activities they could be doing which traces to you. So not worth it.

All the other party needs to do if you rent your computer to them is just install a keylogger into your PC and consider any web or desktop wallet that contains bitcoins left empty. It would take them very little time to steal all your coins or any other important data you may have.
Renting your computer is always a bad idea and it will remain to be like this. We cannot just trust the other party, no matter how respectful their company is.

I have a different opinion about this discussion because this companies does not give your computer details to any individual but make use of your unused disk space to do scientific discoveries or research something like cpu mining.
The problem is whether www.kairosplanet.com is legit or not.
Yes, it is not seeming from public and to public type of business model but it seems they are buying rental contracts from public like Boinc/Gridcoin kind of project. The problem is whether www.kairosplanet.com is legit or not.
Personally I do not prefer renting out my computer and other resources because bandwidth is not still available for cheaper prices in my country. I believe that I will not afford with income to be generated for the resources to be consumed.

Recently I've heard about some services like www.kairosplanet.com where you can rent your computer and get paid for it. So, you have to put turned on your computer and someone else is using it for its own activities.
My question is does someone here has some experience with such services? And what if that someone is using your computer for illegal activities like hacking others or stealing someone's data and how can you know that?
Would you rent your computer or recommend someone to do this?

This sounds exceptionally risky because through normal remote access directly to that user's computer and not a virtual machine, could leave someone wide open to having their personal data, (or even bitcoins/other coins if they're using a desktop wallet on that computer,) stolen. Not to mention the above worries about illegal activities being done and you getting the blame, contract or no.

That's so risky with all of your data is having a chance for getting a stolen and hack. that's the worst service ever for me renting my computer with a lot of my personal data into the another people is i don't know him.

If I were you I wouldn't put yourself in trouble because they can use 100% of the cpu or gpu and make noise, heat etc which can damage your pc(s), at the other side we can't control what they are doing, maybe they are mining, maybe are DOSS or any other illegal activity.
This is truly not worth a hassle and possible problems that it can cost.
Some of those services pay you for renting your computer in order to store files on your hardware, and some use your CPU computing power after you download a program or scrypt. I would say that many companies and sites provide this service, and not all them are scam, maybe we didn't understand this concept rightly, but really there are people renting their computers for money.
For me, I haven't tried it, but I read on the internet about this service.

I am not sure but I think that maidsafe.net offers a similar service where you provide your computer resources to them and they pay you in tokens.
It is very dangerous and a bad idea to give a stranger access on your PC,I would never do it even if it was a big trusted company and besides the big risk I don't think that the amount of money you earn from this will be significant.

I don't need this service and won't try it even though the reward is very high, I can't trust anyone unknown to me, especially now because there are many threats and many ways of stealing either your money or your personal information, I won't invite anyone to try this service.
