Recently I've heard about some services like www.kairosplanet.com where you can rent your computer and get paid for it. So, you have to put turned on your computer and someone else is using it for its own activities.
My question is does someone here has some experience with such services? And what if that someone is using your computer for illegal activities like hacking others or stealing someone's data and how can you know that?
Would you rent your computer or recommend someone to do this?

This sounds exceptionally risky because through normal remote access directly to that user's computer and not a virtual machine, could leave someone wide open to having their personal data, (or even bitcoins/other coins if they're using a desktop wallet on that computer,)  stolen. Not to mention the above worries about illegal activities being done and you getting the blame, contract or no.
