Compensation is calculated on a fixed "Work Unit" method.

Criticism

The service had been first operating without disclosing any relationship to Bitcoin. One of the first inquiries into the organization on February 13, 2011, yielded a response that revealed only that Compute 4 Cash was part of a distributed computing project for the financial sector[2].

The compensation received by the users has been calculated to be significantly less than that enjoyed by those mining using one of the public pool operators.
