Getting paid for keeping my laptop on.

I came across this website that pays to keep your computer on.
I don't know if it is real :confused:

could someone please give their opinion.

If it is real, it would be perfect for me because always leave my pc on :smile:

It's most likely a scam of some sort, probably one where you end up with a lovely virus on your PC and it becomes part of a botnet.
It could be something to do with Bitcoin mining. I know you need a whole lotta computing power to be able to do that!

Well it's up to you in the end. It's your PC. Remember sometimes things can be quite convincing, but I'd be quite suspicious of this.
