Imagine a world where your computer makes you money when you are NOT using it. Imagine a world where you can reduce your cloud computing expenses by 90%.

Salda.com is a company that is making this into a reality.

Salad activates the latent resources of idle gaming PCs on the web’s most trusted "AFK-for-pay" marketplace. Salad’s users (or “Chefs”) turn a wealth of dormant processing power into games, DLC, gift cards, subscriptions, and more. Every year, Salad’s users redeem over 50,000 digital and real-world items, and contribute thousands to charities across the globe.

More than 400 million gaming PCs sit inactive for 22 hours a day. With Salad, that’s 11 minutes of pay to every minute of play. With a quarter million users already earning, they’ve made substantial inroads into a mostly untapped global market.

Their community is powered by blockchain protocols and high-trust infrastructure to ensure our Chefs chop through any task—while remaining safely anonymized. Soon they will democratize financial access through SaladPay, a payment platform that takes Salad Balance web-wide. In five years’ time, “Pay with Your PC” will be ubiquitous.

In this episode I interview Bob Miles, Bob is the Founder and CEO of Salad Technologies.

Starting his career as a pilot before studying Aeronautical Engineering, Bob joined Qantas a Performance Engineer before pivoting into the startup world soon after.

Cofounding a digital marketing company called the Green Way Up, this project morphed into a 12 part television series aired internationally on both National Geographic and Netflix, a journey where Bob powered a cross-continent expedition using a waste-to-fuel system he designed and built.

Bob is an avid traveler, has visited North Korea twice and completed several week-long solo bicycle trips in Russia, South Korea and Myanmar.
