Well.. my friends have been getting money out of this things and althought I never used something like this, it seems legit. My friends have been making money with this.
You share a bit of processing power of your computer and you get payed for it. Its like if you are renting a small part of your CPU. Look up "cloud computing" to know more.

Hmm... I'm always very skeptical about things like this... Ninguém dá nada a ninguém...
Do you have to "invest" any money? Why do expect to make at least 12€ per month, is that the same for everyone? What do you have to do, just keep the program running when you are using your computer? Why are referrals needed, what difference does it make? What is that "free thread"?

You're renting your computer's processing power, thats why you get paid.
Referrals are publicity, that's why it is rewarded.
12€ is enough for me to buy new strings but you can make up to 30usd. The more threads you have, the more you can make. Iam ok with the free one, which lasts one month. After that I'll see what can be done without investing money.

I dont really care for the thread thing. It may not even be using the CPU, to me its just a pyramid thing where you can get a few bucks without making part of it.
What matters is that you can make 30USD in a month, Iam aiming for 12€ because I dont want to have my computer on for a full month.

don't know anything about this but I imagine you would need to allow access through your router, and on your PC to give rights to run apps... but I don't know. And once you have that you have pretty much access to the computer and anything on it no?
RE: Share your power and get free st... (in reply to FredGuitarraOle)
So definitely strings attached then ??
Anyone got figures for the expense in terms of extra electicity for the increased processing load over a month ? I would guess that for the business model to be feasible it would have to be more than the incentive offered.
Still if your parents are paying for the electricity and you don't mind pilfering from them inefficiently ..... carry on.

I would imagine the possibilities of serious injury whilst jogging in that way and supplying enough lard to the areas most exposed to friction could be high to say the least ?
