Computta Review: Hand over the keys to your PC to persons unknown
Computta provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.
The Computta website domain (“computta.com”) was privately registered on December 26th, 2016.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.
Computta Products
Computta has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Computta affiliate membership itself.
Computta affiliates are expected to download and install a distributed computing client ‘on your computer and all computers that you own or control.‘
Computta claim their client is used for bitcoin mining, with users of of it able to
- check your stats right in the application for the device you run it on
- increase/decrease application’s power depending on how much you use your computer at the moment and
- pause the application or even switch into a Smart Mode
The Computta Compensation Plan
Computta claim their distributed computing client is used to mine cryptocurrencies.
A percentage of mined cryptocurrency is shared among Computta affiliates who run their client.
Residual commissions on earned bitcoin are paid out via a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):
If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
Computta cap payable unilevel levels at five, with commissions paid out as a percentage of bitcoin paid to affiliates across these five levels:
- level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 10%
- levels 2 and 3 – 5%
- level 4 – 3%
- level 5 – 2%
Joining Computta
Computta affiliate membership is free.
Conclusion
Remember Seti@Home? That’s pretty much what Computta is, except for cryptocurrency mining.
Turn Your Computer into a 24X7 Money Generator. 100% Autopilot. 100% FREE.
The big question here is whether or not Computta are actually using their distributed computing client to conduct cryptocurrency mining, or whether it’s being used for something more nefarious.
One possible candidate is DDOS attacks.
Typically the biggest challenge in creating a DDOS botnet is installing malicious code on target machines.
Dodgy attachment emails is one (tedious) way to go about this. Promising people a cut of fees charged to access a DDOS botnet if they willingly install a client that can be remotely controlled is another.
Whether this is happening in Computta or not is unclear, but I’d certainly be wary.
This line from the Computta Terms and Conditions suggests unsolicited spam might be taking place in the background:
Computta reserves the right to refuse any site/user entry into the Computta Affiliate Program based on site content or promotion methods.
A legitimate distributed computing cryptocurrency mining network would have nothing to hide. Yet who is running Computta is a mystery.
The company website provides zero information about the company or who’s running it. So basically you’re handing over control of your device to person(s) unknown.
Not the smartest move in today’s online environment.
Still it doesn’t cost anything to get involved other than your electricity bill, and that’s probably going to be a big drawcard for those willing to take the risk.
Average computer generates $22.80 per month!
A gaming computer generates $78 per month!
If you’re one of those people, watch your internet usage when the client is running like a hawk. Making sure your anti-virus software is up to date wouldn’t hurt either.
On the website they state Computta Networks LLC is registered in Delaware.
I’m sure this will come as a surprise to the Delaware Department of Corporations as they are not shown as being registered, as well as the name is not registered with the Delaware Secretary of State.
What possibly could go wrong?
its a freakin ponzi scam, they just trying to get you to sign up a bunch of people so they can run there software on your computer, who knows what that program is doing, they are probably like minergate, stealing your hashrate.
you want to mine coins, use ccminer, or wolf miner, or xmr stak miner, these are real mining software, these point and click windows mining programs are scams.
and what ever you do also DO NOT use Minergate, thats another scam software.
80+ payment proofs on their website.
A direct response to accusations made by this blog and others.
Not registered? Do you know what the name of the holding company is? Because until you look for and verify that information you may be wrong here.
Lots of communication about software upgrades, issues with high block chain transanction fees AND an active solutions for these problems.
Rusty… a ponzi scheme? Doesn’t that require an “investment” and a complicated payment scene to pay old investors with new investments? Huh?
So?
No legitimate MLM company has to hide company ownership through a secret holding company. And anyone who hands over the keys to their PC to persons unknown is a moron.
(Ozedit: If you want to claim Computta is a mining pool, feel free to provide evidence)
I vote for “Brad” as Network Marketer of the Year. No seriously, he’s a perfect representative. Have a look. BMLM even gets a mention.

@Brad
If you want to just come on here and spout unverified marketing claims and BS, spam-bin.
What claims dis I make? (Ozedit: Offtopic derail attempt removed)
@Brad
Are you new to recruitment based opportunities?
New. Yeah maybe since 2006…
The bullshit about what Computta do with your computer once you give them complete access to it.
You want to assert what Computta are doing? You provide proof.
“Hay guys, I’m making money!” is not proof. It’s marketing bullshit and has no place here.
Fun Fact: Alexa estimate Russia is the largest source of traffic to the Computta domain.
That’s Russia, the DDOS capital of the world.
Dude your response to peope getting paid was… “so?”
And what else do I need to prove?
People getting paid in a scam is proof of what? Certainly not legitimacy. So uh yeah, so?
Anyone who joins the latest scam because “people are getting paid” is just looking to scam people themselves.
Legitimate due-diligence doesn’t factor in whether scammers are getting paid. The business model is what’s important.
And before you start crapping on again about what Computta do with your computer, I’ll remind you to provide evidence of any claims you want to make.
And anyone reading this who is considering signing up for Computta, Brad’s failure to provide evidence of what Computta do with affiliate computing power says it all.
Handing anonymous scammers in Russia the keys to your computer = possibly the stupidest thing you can do online.
What evidence do you have that these people are scammers from Russia. (Ozedit: marketing spam removed)
Admin/owners continue to make updates on issues with software, even talk about antivirus. This doesn’t seem like the behavior of scammers.
Let’s try a neutral question.
There are PLENTY of cryptomining pools out there and plenty of mining engines, pool managers, and so on. What makes YOURS different?
What’s your management percentage (i.e. your cut) and how much GH or TH do you have now?
Nothing makes mine different except for the fact it is decidedly less technical, and more user friendly. In fact it appeals to people who are new to crypto currency and don’t really know, or want to know, anything more than to switch on a piece of point and click software.
The industry obviously gets a lot more technical and expensive as far as hardware and expertise is concerened.
This is for people who just want to get started in crypto but don’t want to behave the ability to spend large sums of money on mining equipment.
I am offering them a free option. I’ve done enough research and been around the biz opp and mlm block long enough to know I don’t care for most of them. That doesn’t mean they are all scams.
I don’t personal run the software, my laptop is too old. I just made absolutely sure this company was paying its user before I shared it with anyone.
Yes I am promoting it to earn money, but if it wasn’t paying, I would stop.
Russia is still the top source of traffic to the Computta domain. Not definitive proof that Russians are running but strongly suggestive.
Meanwhile you’re in an MLM company and you have no idea who’s running the show. Smart.
Well they’re not going to spell it out now, are they.
And if you want to publish marketing spam do it elsewhere.
My concern about Computta is that my sister promotes it through her online blogging company but she claims to not know who they are other than an advertisement for Bitcoin mining.
First thing I notice is the link takes me to Computta and I can choose English or Russian language. Second thing I notice is creating new units of Bitcoin used no where else in the entire world.
Dear Oz my concern is that my sister may be a moron trusting Russian scammers, my gut says Oz is right and that Computta is likely a Russian front organization for the FSB.
Dunno about the FSB but organized Russian crime rings committing investment fraud is definitely a thing.
“I don’t personal run the software, my laptop is too old. I just made absolutely sure this company was paying its user before I shared it with anyone.”
Broken down – “I’m not risking it on my machine” “here’s my excuse so people don’t call me out on not risking it” “I’ll be damn sure I get mine before anyone else for pushing this”.
If it pays that well, why haven’t you upgraded to have it on your machine? If you have found this site, how many fingers and toes do you need to show how many times Oz has been proven right? Do you need an upgrade to your abacus – sorry, laptop, for that?
