Pasiv - Your idle gaming PC earns crypto while you sleep

Pasiv turns an idle graphics card — or a spare CPU — into crypto. One button, no account. The pool pays your wallet directly (non-custodial), Auto mode picks whichever coin pays most, and the only fee is 4% on Monero. macOS, Windows and Linux.

Hi Product Hunt 👋

I built Pasiv because my machines sit idle mo them to
earn their keep — but every option was either a command-line miner I'd have to
babysit (XMRig and friends) or a slick dashboard that holds your coins and hides
its fees. Neither felt right.

Pasiv is the version I wanted: install, paste a wallet address, press one button.
An idle gaming GPU mines Pearl or Ravencoin; omX coins
(Monero, Zephyr, Salvium), and on a Mac it also mines Verus natively in-process
with no bundled miner. Auto mode keeps it on whichever coin pays most right now,
and shows you why.

The things I care about most:

- Non-custodial. The pool pays your address directly. Pasiv has no wallet, never
holds your coins, and never asks for a prived.

- A fee you can see. 4% of mining time, on Monero only — every other coin is
fee-free — and nothing at all while paused or idle. It's logged in the app
beside the public fee address, which you calf.

- The money path is open source. The fee engine, coin roster, payout validators,
mining state machine and the whole headless daemon are GPL-3.0 at
, any git
revision. Open core, precisely: the GUI, cloud backend and release signing are
not open, and I'd rather say so than imply more.

- Honest numbers. A gaming PC with a decent Gured on my
own hardware, an RTX 4070 SUPER does about $49/month and an RTX 4060 about
$20/month on Pearl, gross. A CPU-only laptop earns pocket change, single dollars
a month, and the site says so plainly inste Every card
I've measured, with the hashrates:


It's signed and notarized on macOS, Authenticode-signed on Windows, updates
itself, and has thermal and battery guardrails so it stays a good citizen. It
will never overclock or raise a power limit.

I'd genuinely love feedback, especially on thhe
one-button flow feels as simple as I think it does. Happy to answer anything
about the mining or the fee 🙏.
