Does anyone pay for distributed computing that isn't mining crypto?

sliderider · Sep 12, 2020

I remember many years ago there were several of these but they all eventually failed or the pay was lousy. Are there any active projects now that will pay you for leaving your computer on with their app running in the background? Like I said in the title, NO CRYPTO MINING.

Not that I'm aware of. Why would they when people do it for free on BOINC and such?

Crypto is your sole and only option if you must be paid, honestly.
