Experimental community platform for lending computing power / crypto mutual aid
We Help Each Other lets members run a small piece of software (a miner) that uses their computer's unused processor power. That computing power mines cryptocurrency (Monero - XMR) to fund a shared pot. Members can then request financial help, and the shared pot is redistributed in Monero based on a score tied to your participation.
Why join the network?
This is not an investment, and it's not a way to "make money by mining". Your computer's power feeds the shared pot, not your own wallet. In return, you become part of a group that has your back too.
It costs almost nothing
The miner adjusts itself: it slows down the moment you use your computer, and pauses if it gets hot or if you're on battery. You pick the power level yourself — as light on your computer and your electricity bill as you want it to be.
You stay fully free
No minimum, no commitment, no debt. Turn your power up, pause it, or stop it anytime from one simple icon. Ask for help one round, then ask for nothing the next — that's completely normal, and it's never held against you.
Help others, get helped too
The shared pot pays out member requests, ranked by a score that puts real need first. No minimum time as a member is needed: a brand new member can ask for help right after signing up, just like anyone else.
Nothing hidden
The scoring formula and the payout system are public and checkable by anyone. Running costs, the gross and net amount of every round, and the list of who got helped are all shown openly.
How it works
Four steps, no technical skill needed — even the Monero wallet takes two minutes to set up.
- Sign up (and get a Monero wallet ready)
An email, a password, a nickname — and the Monero address where you want to receive help one day. Why ask for it at sign-up? Because the association never holds money on your behalf: the day you're helped, funds go straight to that wallet, with no middleman. Once signed up, download your mining app in one click — the software and your personal ID are already built in, nothing to configure.
💡 Don't have a Monero wallet yet? It takes two minutes and it's free: download an official app from the Monero project's own download page (getmonero.org/downloads) — for example Monero GUI on a computer, or a light mobile app like Cake Wallet or Feather Wallet. Choose "create a new wallet", then copy your receiving address (it starts with 4 or 8) into the sign-up form. No ID required.
- Start it, then forget it
A small icon near your clock lets you change the power level anytime. Why a slider instead of a simple on/off switch? Because your computer needs to stay usable: you decide the trade-off between how much you give to the shared pot and your own comfort. Mining runs quietly in the background — it never gets in the way of your work, and you can pause or stop it in one click.
- Need help?
Post a request with an amount and a message explaining your situation. Why a message? Because other members can vote to support a request that looks legitimate to them — voting is always optional, but it counts toward the ranking if the pot isn't big enough for everyone.
- The round's pot gets shared out
After running costs are taken out (always shown openly), each requester gets their full amount, in ranked order, until the net pot runs out. If you're helped, the money is sent automatically to the Monero address you gave in step 1 — that's exactly why it's needed from the start.
How the score decides who gets helped
The score doesn't control everything — it only matters in one specific case. Here is how it works, and what you actually get when you're helped.
The more power you give, the higher your score
Your mining time and CPU power count toward your score: the more you give, the higher your score for getting help. It also uses more electricity and more of your processor — the power level is always your own choice.
The score only matters when the pot is too small
If the pot fully covers every request in a round, everyone gets helped in full, and the score doesn't come into play at all. It only ranks requests when the total asked for is more than what's in the pot that round — then it decides who gets helped first.
Help is real money, sent in Monero
When you're helped, you receive Monero (XMR), a cryptocurrency, straight to your own wallet — not euros, not a voucher. The euro amount shown is only a reference (based on an indicative rate) to compare requests — the money that actually moves is always Monero.
Mining you can trust — nothing hidden
We know the word "mining" can sound sketchy. So here is everything that runs on your computer, laid out plainly — and why there's nothing to hide.
Free, well-known software
The mining engine is XMRig, an open-source project used by millions of people worldwide to mine Monero — not a custom tool, not a black box. Its source code is public and anyone can check it.
Nothing hidden in your Task Manager
While you're contributing, you'll see a process named xmrig running on your computer — that is normal and expected. We never try to hide it or disguise it: what you see is what runs.
Simple, almost like a game
One power slider, one checkbox for "only while I'm not using my computer" — that's it. No technical jargon to learn: you set it, you watch your contribution grow, and you adjust it whenever you like — as simple as a setting in a video game.
We all win together, or not at all
The idea is simple: if everyone lends a little spare power, the pot grows for everyone. No one loses anything personally, and whoever needs help on a given round genuinely gains from it. That's the whole spirit of mutual aid.
