Ask HN: How to monetise a group of idle computers

4 pointsthrowawayadmin2 comments

I'm managing a large group of computers as an admin, that are turned on, but not doing anything. Would love to make a few extra bucks by utilising these 50+ computers.

Any ideas that don't involve crypto mining?

It's going to be hard to find a solution which isn't, in some way, "skimming the increased electricity bill"

https://packetstream.io/ (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19405577) is in that market. Well, in the market for household IP addresses, not sure if a company would quality and if all 50 computers would count as one IP address. I'd say get approval from your IT department and legal but I assume you've passed the question of legality already.
