IdleHash mines Bitcoin in the background while your PC sits idle. It detects when you step away, switches on automatically, and stops when you come back — no pop-ups, no system drag, no configuration required.
No cryptic settings. No pool accounts. No configuration files. Install, paste your BTC address, and the client handles the rest.
IdleHash watches your keyboard and mouse. When you're working, it backs off. When you're away, it ramps up. You never notice it — until you see the earnings.
Switches to the most profitable algorithm automatically. All earnings convert to Bitcoin — your balance always shows BTC.
Draws from idle GPU cycles — never competes with your games, browsers, or creative apps. Runs at full power only when your system is truly idle.
Install the client, paste your BTC address, and you're mining. No pool accounts, no API keys, no cryptic settings to navigate.
Track your hashrate, daily earnings, and historical progress in a clean, jargon-free dashboard. No technical noise — just your money.
CPU usage stays under 5% during normal operation. RAM footprint under 80MB. Your PC runs exactly as it did before — just with a balance that's growing.
Quick answers to what most people ask first.
Yes. IdleHash connects your GPU to NiceHash's stratum pool, the largest Bitcoin hashrate marketplace. Shares are submitted live and your balance settles in BTC you can withdraw — see your own numbers on the dashboard.
Mining draws power, but IdleHash only runs when your PC is idle — and most idle PCs are already on. You can cap power in settings anytime; the dashboard shows your actual runtime.
Earnings depend on your GPU and idle hours, typically a few dollars per month on a modern card. The dashboard tracks your live hashrate and projected payout so there are no surprises.
IdleHash is open-source, runs only when your system is idle, and never touches your files, wallet keys, or personal data. Earnings go directly to your BTC address — we never hold your funds.
Download and install IdleHash on your Windows PC. Takes under 60 seconds.
One text field. Paste your Bitcoin wallet address and click start. That's it.
IdleHash runs in the background. Check your dashboard whenever you want — or don't. It doesn't need you.
Install the client. Paste your BTC address. Walk away. IdleHash takes it from there — earning BTC every time your PC sits idle.
