How much will I actually earn?

Most laptops sit idle 90% of the day — that idle time is what pays.

$52–99per month

4 laptops, mixed storage and inference. The high end assumes at least one machine can serve a small model.
Paid per GB-month, per GB-hour and per token — only for what's consumed. Withdraw to bank or crypto, no minimum.
What if someone closes their laptop?

copy rebuilt within minutes · you never notice

Nothing of yours lives on one machine. Every service runs on at least two, and Captain rebuilds the missing copy elsewhere within minutes. You never notice.

What if it's my only laptop, or it's asleep?
your laptop+a 2nd device
protected · at least two copies

You can try it with one machine, but your data only gets safe once a second device in your pool holds a copy. An old laptop left plugged in counts, and Captain warns you when your pool is too thin to protect something.
