How to earn money with your raspberry pi

Read original article on gkdv.net

How to earn money with a raspbery pi? It's simple, with earnapp.

What do you need

How to install?

At first, register on earnapp. It's free and fast. Next, you have to install the earnapp client on your raspberry pi:

wget -qO- https://brightdata.com/static/earnapp/install.sh > /tmp/earnapp.sh 
sudo bash /tmp/earnapp.sh
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After the install, you obtain a device id to copy/paste on your earnapp dashboard.

How does it work

Your raspberry pi will be used as a scrapper by big companies. The more your bandwith will be used, the more you will earn. Nothing to do after install.

I actually earn 0,50€ per day. Not a dream, but on a month, it's best than nothing. You will be paid by paypal, when you reach 5$. I really received the payment :)

Try it on earnapp!

This is quite scary (to me). I'm not convinced by their FAQ.

What are your referral earnings looking like?

Referral earnings is not the most interesting. But earn 15€ per month without doing anything is nice :)

Alternatively, I'm starting the test of honeygain r.honeygain.me/GPENV64FEF , it's similar but only for windows, android and macos
