Rent your idle GPU. Cash on the wall.

Your RTX 4080 (or any GPU) → Vast.ai marketplace → roughly $50 – $100 / month passive while you AFK. No mining heat, no daemon ops once it's running, and you keep first-call rights when you're at the workbench.

FIXTURE / WAITLIST · The operator's machine has not yet been registered as a Vast.ai host. This page is a waitlist + 3-step explainer for the setup. No backend POST, no PII captured, no live earnings ledger. Mailto CTA only.

Three steps · workshop how-to

  1. 01

    Install the host daemon

    Vast.ai ships a single binary that pins one CPU thread, announces the GPU to the marketplace and exposes a container runtime. About 15 min from clean Debian to live host. Mandatory: a real DRAM/SSD spec sheet, NVIDIA driver, docker, a static-ish public IP.

  2. 02

    Set min-bid + machine config

    Configure your floor price (e.g. $0.18/h for an RTX 4080), reliability and uptime targets, and the isolation level (DLPerf vs verified). Set up an auto-resume schedule that releases the card whenever you want it back — you keep first-call priority on every clock cycle.

  3. 03

    Earn while AFK

    Vast.ai pays out via crypto rails (BTC, USDC, USDT) on a biweekly cadence. Spot demand for consumer 16-GB cards has been steady through 2024-2026. The same card we benchmark on1's local stack with is, at night, paying for its own electricity (and then some).

Compute-arbitrage · live verdict

The operator's RTX 4080 SUPER is already monitored by the cashn0d arbitrage scanner. Every hour it compares:

  • mining yield (BTC + ETC + alts at current difficulty + spot)
  • cloud-rental yield (Vast.ai spot bids + RunPod + Akash)
  • idle yield (just keep paying the kWh bill)

The verdict is rendered on the passcash surface — a long-running passive-income station. When mining drops below rental, the waitlist auto-bumps you up.

Garage-wall FAQ

Q · Will I lose access while it's rented?

You set the schedule. Most hosts reserve 8 evening hours plus weekends. Vast.ai's interruptible lane lets you reclaim the card with a short notice window — your local work always wins the race.

Q · What happens if a renter abuses my box?

Renters run inside a sandboxed container. The host daemon enforces network egress rules and image policy. Vast.ai has DMCA + AUP enforcement; you can also ban specific renters or require verified-only.

Q · Is the income actually $50 – $100?

Range published by Vast.ai for consumer 16 GB cards in 2025-2026. It depends on idle hours, link quality, bid floor and the local electricity price. The passcash arb verdict converts your specifics into a number.

Q · What does the waitlist do?

Mail us — we keep a sorted list. When the operator's own host is live and tooling is finished, we walk waitlist members through the 3-step setup and a kWh-aware schedule. No fee, no card-up-front, no lock-in.
