ozaudio · 22 Oct 2014 at 19:02

hi

firstly youll need the software, boinc
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php

after you install this open boinc and go to view at the top , click advanced view.

tools > add project or account manager , the " add project " is already selected so just click next . Now your faced with a box were it says select project. Scroll down to skynet pogs and click it then click next, there you will need to create an account. just an email address and a password.

when skynet is added to boinc youll need to go to your account and join team ocuk

abc home isn't part of this challenge , you can remove it on the side by clicking remove

if you scroll down the list of projects, skynet is down near the bottom

I have a feeling that a slumbering giant may be awakening over there. Seems to be talk of a few multi processor users adding some logs so a bonfire could happen yet :eek:

In the short term, we are close to having over a million pogs points a day as a team, can we do it

ozaudio · 22 Oct 2014 at 19:22

I see street light has been updated and showing

I can see you here, but you're currently teamless. Click on 'your account' and then 'find a team' search for us 'OcUK - Overclockers UK' and join

Good enough, welcome

you should be good for 20K a day when you get up to speed.

Don't think I would be much help with a AMD 6350, What is this for?

Is there much optimizing you can do for this or is it just how fast your cpu is? this is my first distributing project I've done some crypto mining before if that's in anyway similar.

the fact you have an i7 is good, there more cores the better, each core will do its own work unit, you could overclock your cpu if you have a decent cooler if you want to get every last bit of performance you can

William-Mathew · 22 Oct 2014 at 19:59

How do I?

There's a guide near the top of the page on how to start.

Every core helps, the project info can be found on their front page, basically the project maps galaxies. The competition we're doing is just a bit of fun as to which team can produce the most points this month, which in turn also helps the project.

There's no optimizing really bar overclocking, it is as you said just how fast your machine is. There were optimized executables a while back that replaced the project ones, they were much quicker but unfortunately often gave the wrong result.
