# Earn with GPU sharing

> Step-by-step: enable the earning module, configure boundaries, and pull GUSD out.

This builds on [Install the AI App](/tutorials/install-ai-app). It assumes you already have the app installed, signed in, and your GPU benchmarked. Time: **10 minutes** to set up; then it runs in the background.

## What this gets you

* **GUSD per workload** — credited automatically as inference jobs complete.
* **GHXP** — engagement points that multiply future earnings via the GHXP Boost.
* **Optional GHX boost** — hold GHX in MetaMask or in your in-app GHX wallet to accelerate GHXP accrual.

See [Earning model](/ai/earning) for the full mechanics.

## 1. Open the earning module

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sidebar → Earning">
    The earning section is separate from the local-AI modules. The dashboard explains what's on offer before you opt in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the disclosure">
    The module dispatches third-party workloads to your machine. Make sure you're comfortable with that before enabling — see [Privacy](/ai/privacy).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the module">
    Toggle the **Earning** switch on. Your GPU joins the dispatch pool.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 2. How it interacts with gaming

Earning workloads use your full GPU and VRAM — you can't earn and game at the same time. Launching a game forces the earning module out; you reclaim the GPU instantly. When the game closes, earning resumes on its own as soon as the queue has work for your card.

Just leave the module on whenever you're not gaming or doing other GPU-heavy work.

## 3. Maximize yield

<Steps>
  <Step title="Hold GHX for the boost">
    The single biggest yield multiplier. Hold any GHX in MetaMask or in your in-app GHX wallet under the same account — see [GHXP](/ai/ghxp). Boost applies automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run continuously">
    The longer the app runs without restart, the larger your hour-credited GHXP accrual. Restarting mid-hour drops that hour's pending points.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Lock your GHXP each season">
    GHX rewards are distributed every two months. Lock your accumulated GHXP before the season closes — your share of the pool = your locked GHXP ÷ total locked across all participants. Skip the lock and you forfeit that season.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Don't run multiple machines under different accounts">
    GHXP and levels consolidate per account. Run all your GPUs under one account — you'll level up faster.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 4. Track earnings

<Steps>
  <Step title="In-app dashboard">
    Live per-hour, per-day, per-month numbers. Workload count and average pay per workload.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Mobile app">
    The [Mobile app](/apps/mobile) shows the same numbers — useful when you're not at the PC.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 5. Pull GUSD out

Three exit routes — pick at any time:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Convert to GHX">
    1. In-app **Wallet** → **Convert** → GUSD → GHX.
    2. Pick the chain (Ethereum / BNB Chain / Solana).
    3. Confirm. GHX lands in the wallet you've connected.
    4. From there, **HODL** or **stake** for up to 25% APR via [staking.gamercoin.com](https://staking.gamercoin.com).
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Withdraw USDC on BNB Chain">
    1. Have a BNB Chain wallet address ready — your Binance deposit address, MetaMask on BSC, or any other BNB Chain wallet.
    2. **Wallet** → **Withdraw USDC** → choose amount and paste the destination address.
    3. USDC lands on BNB Chain at the address you provided. No GamerHash fee.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Spend in the Store">
    1. Browse the [Store](https://gamerhash.com/en/shop).
    2. At checkout, pick **GUSD** as the payment method.
    3. Enter your account PIN. Digital goods are delivered immediately.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Module is on, but I'm getting no workloads">
    Several causes:

    * **GPU class** — older / smaller GPUs only qualify for a subset of workloads. Run benchmarks; check the live workload pool size.
    * **Network demand** — check the latest [Community Update on Medium](https://medium.com/we-are-the-gamerhash) for demand signals.
    * **Connection issues** — restart the app; verify you're not behind a corporate VPN that blocks dispatch traffic.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My GHXP-based earnings dropped even though I'm running the app">
    GHXP itself doesn't decrease while you're active — but your share of each season's GHX pool is relative. Your slice = your locked GHXP ÷ total locked across all participants, so as more people lock larger amounts, individual slices shrink. Consistency over many seasons compounds; holding GHX (in MetaMask or your in-app wallet) keeps the boost stacked through accrual.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A game won't start while the module is running">
    Earn workloads hold the full GPU and VRAM. Launching a game forces the module out — you should reclaim the GPU within seconds. If the game still refuses to start, close the AI App, launch the game, and let earning resume after you exit.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="GUSD balance shows but conversion is unavailable">
    Conversion is occasionally throttled during platform maintenance. The Wallet page shows scheduled windows; usually resolves within an hour.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="USDC withdrawal stuck">
    BNB Chain transfers usually settle within minutes. If stuck >24h, contact Discord `#support` with the transaction reference shown in the Wallet log and the destination address you used.
  </Accordion>
