Dear list members, I would like to invite any operator, who has some idle Cores (CPU or GPU) left,to join the folding@home distributed computing project: http://folding.stanford.edu/ There is now a brandnew team called Tor Project (Unofficial) with the id 227615. Hope to see some of you there :-) -- Sincerely yours / Sincères salutations Sebastian Urbach ----------------------------------------- Definition of Tor: 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name! -----------------------------------------
This is a worthwhile project aimed at diseases such as cancer, Alzheimers, Parkinson's. Takes little internet bandwidth and only 600 MB memory (amd64) but is a cpu hog. Each distributed project takes 1-3 days to calculate. Works via browser ports. LB On 12/26/2014 9:55 AM, Sebastian Urbach wrote:

Seems like you have to use a graphical environment. Is there any client for headless installations?
Yes, there are 3 packages for Unixish systems. The client itself, the viewer and the controller. Just use the client package, no need for a graphical environment.

Hi, some years ago I contributed to https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ via BOINC (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) but stoped. Forgive my paranoia, but I couldn't find proof that it really helps what they write, that the provided cpu power could doesn't land at NSA for example :/ Any different experience?

I recently asked if there is an headless application for it. I got the answer that that something like that exists and after some scrolling I found it on the page. But I never got it to run so I lost interest in it. If you found a way to get it to work please notify me :-) ~Josef Am 27.12.2014 um 23:54 schrieb I:

Please make it public.
Here we go with the installation instructions for the folding@home client (console). 1) Visit http://folding.stanford.edu and use the download button at the top of the page. Choose your OS and just load down the client, not the viewer and controller. 2) Get a passkey: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/getpasskey.py 3) For Debian like systems just run: dpkg -i <package-name> 4) Choose a username as you like, enter the team id 227615 if you want to help the Tor Project (Umofficial) team and adjust tue power level. Please take a look at this nice table for more infos regarding the power level: http://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/faq-v7-intermediate/#ntoc5 5) There may be some minor error messages when the post-installation script is running. As i recall it is just about the symlinks for the runlevels, no drama. The client works fine. 6) This is just a quick & dirty guide to get things going. There are way more options to configure the client but i think thats something you may want to get into when the client is purring like a cat ;-)

I will contact you via private mail for assistance.
