How It Works
Simple explanation for everyone – no tech knowledge needed. Your PC earns money while you browse, watch videos, or even sleep.
🎯 Simple Concept
Your computer has power that sits unused most of the time. Earn_OS uses that extra power to help solve problems – and pays you for it. You don't need to understand how it works. Just install, leave it running, and get paid monthly to your bank account.
CPU Mining
Your computer helps secure a digital currency network called Zephyr. Think of it like your PC doing math homework for a company, and they pay you for it.
How it works:
- You install Earn_OS and click "Start Mining"
- Your computer's processor solves math problems in the background
- You earn cryptocurrency (Zephyr) which we convert to Euros
- Money is sent to your bank account monthly (minimum €10)
Real example: Office PC running 8 hours/day = €0.65/month. Gaming PC running 24/7 = €1.30/month. You control when it runs and how much CPU power to use (10%-100%).
Schwarm Mode (Team Mining)
Join a team! When 1000 people combine their computer power, everyone earns MORE. It's like carpooling – sharing resources makes everyone better off.
How it works:
- You click "Join Schwarm" in the app
- Your PC joins 1000+ other users working together
- Bigger teams get priority and solve problems faster = more money
- You earn about 2x more than mining alone
Why it's better: Alone, your PC might take weeks to earn €1. In Schwarm mode with 1000 people, you earn consistently every day. Same power, double the money.
Bandwidth Sharing
Your internet connection isn't used 100% of the time. Companies need fast internet worldwide to deliver websites and videos. You share your unused internet, they pay you.
How it works:
- Companies like Honeygain pay for unused internet bandwidth
- Earn_OS shares a small part of your internet (like 5-10%)
- Your Netflix, browsing, and gaming are NOT affected
- The more internet speed you have, the more you earn
Think of it like: You have a 100 Mbit internet connection. You use 20 Mbit for Netflix. Companies rent the other 80 Mbit you're not using. You don't even notice, but you get paid.
Science Computing
Universities need massive computer power to research cancer, climate change, and new medicines. Your computer helps scientists, and they pay you for the computing time.
How it works:
- Research labs submit tasks (like analyzing protein structures)
- Your PC processes a tiny piece of the research
- You help cure diseases while earning money
- Get paid per compute hour – the more you run it, the more you earn
Feel good money: You're literally helping cure cancer while making €2/month. Your idle computer becomes a tiny supercomputer for scientists who can't afford their own.
Cloud Computing (Flux)
Companies rent cloud servers (like Amazon AWS) to run their websites and apps. Your powerful PC can be a mini cloud server. Higher earnings, but requires a fast PC and stable internet.
How it works:
- Your PC becomes part of Flux Network (decentralized cloud)
- Small businesses rent your computer power to host websites
- You need: Good PC, stable internet, 24/7 uptime (optional but pays more)
- Premium tier: Earn 3x more but requires better hardware
Higher risk, higher reward: Not for everyone. But if you have a gaming PC that's on 24/7 anyway? You can earn up to €9/month just from this one feature.
DNS Resolution Nodes
When you type "google.com", a DNS server translates it to the actual website address. Your PC can help speed up this process worldwide and get paid for it.
How it works:
- Your PC becomes a DNS resolution node
- When people browse the web, your PC helps find websites faster
- Companies pay for faster DNS (makes internet feel snappier)
- Requires: Port forwarding (we help you set it up)
Simple analogy: You're like a phone book operator. Someone asks "Where's Pizza Place?" and you quickly tell them the address. Do it 1000 times/day, earn €2-6/month.
Anonymous Data Contribution
Market research companies want to know what websites people visit (not WHO visits them). Your browsing patterns help them understand trends. 100% anonymous – they never see your name, passwords, or personal info.
How it works:
- You opt-in to share anonymous browsing data
- Earn_OS collects: "Someone visited amazon.de at 3pm" (NOT who or what they bought)
- Market research firms buy this anonymous data
- Your passwords, bank info, personal messages = NEVER shared
Privacy first: They learn "1000 people visited YouTube today" not "Hans from Frankfurt watched cat videos". You can turn this off anytime. It's like TV ratings – they know what's popular, not who watched it.
Total Monthly Earnings
When all 7 features are active (by end of 2026)
Based on average gaming PC running 24/7. Office PC: €7-20/month. Powerful workstation: €15-45/month. You control which features to enable.
Simple Questions
Does this slow down my PC?
No! You control how much CPU to use (10%-100%). Set it to 30% and you won't notice anything while browsing or watching videos. Your computer does this in the background.
How do I get paid?
Add your IBAN (bank account number) to the app. Once you reach €10, we send money to your bank via SEPA transfer. Takes 1-2 business days. No PayPal needed, no crypto wallets – just your normal bank account.
Will my electricity bill go up?
Yes, but very little. Running 24/7 costs about €3-5/month in electricity. You earn €10-30/month. Net profit: €5-25/month. Still worth it!
Is this safe?
Yes! Your antivirus might warn you (all mining software gets flagged), but Earn_OS is 100% safe. You control everything. You can stop anytime. External security audit coming in Q2 2026.
Can I just run one feature?
Absolutely! Only want CPU mining? Fine, earn €1-2/month. Want all 7? Great, earn €10-30/month. Your PC, your choice. Enable or disable any feature anytime in the app.
