The Amiga/PPC red machines are closing the gap. If you've not joined the MorphOS RC5-72 effort, please do it! It's easy to set up and we need the help!

Yeah, come joining us. It's fun!

Other than a status, What are the benifits?

And it's practically effortless anyway. You set up and configure the client once, and then it just runs in the background and saves all poor idle clock cycles from dying a meaningless death without acomplishing anything useful in their short lives!

I guess status is the main thing. Participation gives me the sense of contributing to the advancement and recognition of the platform.

I like the competition between up and coming OS's and platforms. Check out the stats page at http://www.morphos-news.de/guides/rc5-72/dnet-mos-stats.php

benefits?

your cpu runs with a more constant temperature, which - as some scientists tell us - improves life duration of the cpu.

Anyway.. it's just for the fun of it

Are you all aware of the recent american study that the people who contribute to RC5 are gay?

Explains a lot about the weird behaviour at #morphos in late hours of the day :o

about hooligans comment:

that says this man (who fits all stereotyped ideas about gay'ish people btw. ): https://morph.zone/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=416

Hello guys,

I only have a 50 hours per month connection with my 56k modem so i am not permanently connected to internet. So i have a question : does not my computer waste time calculating for nothing for rc5-72 ? Otherwise which settings should i use ?

For sure you can crunch and submit blocks with modem. I'm on dialup too and have no problems. In dnetc config go to "Buffer and Buffer Update Options" and increase fetch work threshold for RC5-72. How much to set? For G3 75 will be enough, for G4 choose 100 (it also depends how often you connect to the Internet, I assumed a connection every day). I'm not sure if MorphOS client is able to detect dialup online automatically like Windows client. The simplest way is just perform update manually everytime you are online. Also if the client runs out of blocks it will generate random ones and those will be counted exactly as fetched ones (but may duplicate with other's work, so it is better to crunch fetched blocks).
