Can I run one more client on another computer?

[NOX]

I have two clients now running, both using the same e-mail address, will I get credit for them?

 

[BurntKooshie]

Yep, you get credit for all machines that have your email addy in them. The more, the merrier Just make SURE to have permission....so if you ever see a post (most notably, from ViRGE) that says "Go out an assimilate!" you now know what he means

NOX, run the client with you email on as many computers as you can!! every one helps. I use a little INF file to install quick, fast, and in a hurry. Plus make it so the client autostarts when someone starts their PC. Gotta love "detached" mode too. "get out there and assimilate"

Permission, ohh...really, why? I thought it was good to have more then one client running, I'm I wrong?

 

[BurntKooshie]

Its fine to have more than one client running, just make sure that you are allowed (by the owner of the computer) to install it. Why? Well, for one, common curtiousy, and two, its in the Distributed.net rules...the team can get kicked for unathorized clients running around...

So, ur saying. I could've gotten TA in trouble for that trojan I made.

Ok...cool, no the two clients I'm running are on my systems only. In fact I can run one more on my server, but I don't think I want to use my server to do it, to much stress.

Don't worry about using it on a server. It does not use too many CPU cycles at all. For memory it uses less than 2Mb. 1 Mb is what it uses on my P3-700. The CPU priority level is defaulty set too 0. Everything else will take priority over it. I have the client running on a few servers, even with higher priority levels. It won't make a diff. at all. Assimilate servers too!! Give them something to do.

I would also suggest to change your name at DNET to your "Real name".. NOX - TeamAnandtech. This way you don't reveal your e-mail address and you let people know that you are onother proud member of TA.
Welcome to the team!

LOL...ok servers will be running clients too.

Done!

Another thing, when you screen saver comes on does you client stop cracking blocks?

 

[dkappos]

No the client continues checking blocks. It is advisable to use a simple screen saver (like "blank screen" or "scrolling marquee&quot as the OpenGL screensavers use most of your CPU spare cycles and kill your output.

I'm using the Matrix screen saver provided by D.net.
