Your computer works the night shift. You get paid.
Otium mines with your idle processor and graphics card while you're away, and the pool pays your own wallet directly. It stops the moment you're back, and waits when electricity costs more than it earns.
- Pays your wallet, never holds your money
- Open source
- Windows, macOS and Linux
- Away: mining
- You're using it
- Power too expensive
- Otium's 29 min
Set it up once. It works while you rest.
Otium tests your hardware, picks the coin that pays your card the most, and switches as prices change. You don't touch it again.
Choose where to be paid
Pick a coin and paste your wallet address. The default is USDT on TRON, which is worth a dollar and pays out from 1.5 USDT.
Walk away
A few minutes after you leave the keyboard, your processor and graphics card start mining at the lowest priority. Touch the mouse and they stop.
The pool pays you
unMineable sends your earnings straight to your address once a day after the minimum. Otium never holds your money and can't touch it.
What a graphics card earns today
Mining income follows coin prices, so these change daily. Move the slider to your electricity price; the app measures your own computer before you start.
Per day of mining, after the miner's, the pool's and Otium's 2%, minus electricity. Coin prices from WhatToMine via Otium's server, 18 October 2026, 15:10 UTC; speeds and power are typical tuned figures from WhatToMine's card pages (October 2026). Each card mines whichever coin pays it more. A processor alone earns a few cents a day.
It watches the price of power by the hour.
When electricity would cost more than mining earns, Otium waits. In Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland it follows the live hourly price for your area, so it mines through the cheap night hours and sits out the evening peak.

What comes off, and who gets it
- Otium
- 2% of mining time, about 29 minutes per day of mining, mined to Otium's own address. Nothing while Otium is paused, and nothing during fee-free days.
- Mining software
- XMRig keeps 1% (processor); SRBMiner keeps 0.85%–2% (graphics card, depending on the coin).
- Pool
- unMineable keeps 0.75% (1% without Otium's referral code).
- In total
- about 3.75% on the processor and 3.6%–4.75% on the graphics card.
- Also
- unMineable pays Otium 0.25–0.5% of what you mine there, out of its own fee. It doesn't come out of your earnings: Otium's referral code is what lowers your pool fee from 1% to 0.75%.
Bring a friend, and part of Otium's fee on their mining goes to you.
Friends who join with your invite code pay no Otium fee for their first 30 days. For 6 months after that, 25% of Otium's fee on their mining is mined straight to your address, and each friend who starts mining gives you another 30 fee-free days.
Before you install
Is my money safe?
Otium never touches it. The pool pays your wallet directly, and you can check your balance on the pool's own page at any time.
Why does my antivirus warn about it?
Antivirus tools flag every mining program, because criminals hide miners on other people's computers. Otium downloads the official open-source XMRig and SRBMiner releases, checks their fingerprints, and keeps them in one folder you can allow. It only mines when you've set it up and turned it on.
Will it slow my computer down?
By default it only runs while you're away, at the lowest priority, and you choose how much of the processor it may use. Games and work always come first.
I live in the United States
unMineable doesn't serve US residents, so Otium pays you in Monero through MoneroOcean instead.
What about AMD graphics cards?
They can't mine Pearl, the best coin for NVIDIA cards. Add a free Quantus wallet in Settings and your card mines Quantus, paid hourly by Kryptex Pool.
Can I also share my internet connection?
On Windows, optionally. A Mysterium node shares a little of your unused bandwidth with businesses and pays you in MYST at your own Polygon address. It's off unless you turn it on.
