I think I understand the factors now... disregard that part!

Thanks man, I was starting to feel a bit inadequate there for a moment. :-) I'm curious how small a work unit can be, and if perhaps there were a way to assign the tiny ones to something like an android (in theory) and let the pc's and mass StorageForum.nets do the heavy lifting. It does seem as tho...

Hi bruce, I was looking at it as parallel race, in which all 100 walkers completed at their own speed.
If not, then why should I contribute anything? If I can only put out 2k per day, why bother at all when someone else can do 1 million?

Ok, good, because that wasn't my intention, it was (and is) to stir the pot. I guess the short answer to that question is, 'not so much.' And so, I do have a lot to study up on. I am here merely out of burning curiosity. I have a very deep desire to understand the code aspect of this. It is absolute...

I'm certainly sorry to have upset you, I'm sure you are dealing with your own list of problems right now, but I'm just a bit confused. I'm thinking you may have perhaps not understood what I was trying to say. I'm glad to hear that the head of FAH said they are watching developments closely. It soun...

Actually, I beg to differ on a few of the assumptions. A donor wouldn't have to own an army of drones. A donor app client could queue a piece of work to the next available droid. Also, transmitting data is not that big of a deal, really. 5MB work units would be lickity-split on most modern devices. ...

Awesome, thanks you guys. This is an area in which I am an obvious noob, so anything that points me in the right direction is a big bonus. I'll do some more research and get back to you. I have this gut instinct that tells me that by chopping the work up more, and increasing the saturation of device...

I appreciate your reply, and I can totally understand the reasoning that a lot of people have mentioned. If I could just play devil's advocate for a moment though, my powerbook is only churning out 2K wu's a day, and it isn't running all of the time of course. I sort of raise an eyebrow at that esti...

Well, firstly, I didn't see this topic before, so sorry for the post

But, as I said, I can think of 3 or 4 phones/tablets in my drawers at home that I would leave plugged in, if such an app were available. Maybe not my carry-on cellphone. But these devices are super-cheap, free even.

I love this FAH software. I run it on my powerbook. But for every PC or Mac in the home, there are another 3-4 Android devices. I have 3 androids in my drawer at home with broken screens or something. I have another 2-3 android tablets laying around. I also have 3 other members of my family with and...
