What you do on NiceHash

How the money is made: renting out your hardware

  1. Install the app
  2. Share spare capacity
  3. Earn while it runs
  4. Cash out at the minimum

You run NiceHash's miner on a gaming GPU or CPU and sell its hashing power to buyers on the NiceHash marketplace, getting paid in bitcoin whatever coin is mined. Bitcoin withdrawals have a 0.0005 BTC minimum and a 0.0001 BTC fee, and Lightning withdrawals start at 200 satoshis. Electricity is the main cost and can exceed what you earn.
