I always felt that the d.net projects major benefit was to spread knowledge about distributed computing. That goal has been saturated by now, so after OGR-25 I have dropped it. Also advances in power management mean it is less desirable to "spare" cycles (recent kernels). The absolute is more important than "relative efficiency".
@AmigaPapst Have found client and am running OGR27 quite happily. Have questions which need concise answers. How many A1 XEs and A1 micros and Sams are in the Amiga team? Why is our cpu/os rating so low when I have clocked over 11,000 Gu alone with my machine? in just this 11 days? Yes I understand there are other machines in the group but there cannot be only 4 max surely? Why are we so behind Morphos?
Maybe the problem is that this new version has not been advertised at all whereas it has under MOS ? I personnaly wasn't aware of this new version and am crunching RC72 since some weeks now... I'll update ASAP my client !
PS: how would one know for which team he's crunching ? i.e. that's so long I registered DNetc that I don't remember if I finally had teamed with Team Amiga or not...

Yeah, sounds about right to me, unfortunately. Simply put, not many PPC Amigas are running dnetc these days . The downtrend was visible in OGR-26 also. It's true that there is nowhere near as much advertising of Distributed Amiga as there used to be - there always used to be news items on all the Amiga news sites, but it's quite rare to see such a thing now .

I've tried Folding@Home on my PS3, but I found the work units way too large. I think I even registered with the Amiga team on that, but I've yet to submit any work. The fact that it doesn't run in the background makes it kinda useless to me - I'd rather save on electricty than leave the PS3 on all day and risk overheating (although it is quite useful and cost effective as a heater in the winter ). I prefer to run dnetc on my PS3 - I don't switch it on just for that, but when I've got Linux booted I'm happy to leave dnetc churning away in the background while I'm using it for other stuff.
