Agreed. The client in particular is wonderful-- a very small file
that uses very little RAM and very little disk space and will run on
the most meagre of systems without impeding other apps, unlike most
of the distributed computing clients out there. That's the main
reason I keep coming back to dnet.
But we suffer from an abominable lack of purpose. As if we have built
an incredible sports car, but all we do is drive around in circles on
the same track, in the same direction, burning tons of fuel, with no
other cars competing and no one watching...
Honestly, just shutting our computers off when not in use would be
more beneficial to the world than running RC5.
I will hang with OGR-25 until it is done. At that point, failing a
constructive new project (*not* just OGR-26, 27, 28, etc.) I'm afraid
I'll be bidding d.net a fond farewell.
