Hi all,
If you ever been interesting in joining the pcmech RC5 cracking team and don't know I'll try to explain it here. Remember if you find the winning key there's money in it for you and for our team..and what better way to improve pcmech by just letting our computers do the work.
1. Go to http://www.distributed.net and download the client for your respective operating system. What I mean by that is that if you are running linux download the linux client...if you're running windows download the windows client. Here's the exact link: http://www.distributed.net/download/clients.html
2. Install the client.
3. Configure the client. Notice: You must have a valid email address because once you want to join the team your password will be emailed to you and you need it to join the team. It also keeps track of your statistics. For more information or if you are having trouble configuring the client see: http://n0cgi.distributed.net/faq/cache/1.html
4. Let the client run for 24hrs and submit your first blocks. Then periodically check to see if your stats are listed at the distributed.net statistics site yet. After an update for the day has been completed and if you have submitted blocks that day before the update you should be listed in the statistics within the next day or two.
5. Check your statistics here: http://stats.distributed.net/rc5-64/
Type your email in under participant stats and if you are listed you are set to go. Click the link on the bottom that says: "Please email me my password".
6. Within 10 minutes you should receive your password and your are set to join our team. Once you have your password go here: http://stats.distributed.net/rc5-64...php3?team=13738
Click the "I want to join this team" and fill out the information. BTW your username is your email address.
7. There ya go that's it..any blocks you submit now will be counted for our pcmech RC5 team. If you have any questions feel free to post below.
Also if you are interested for the code of the graphic in my signature let me know.
