RC5-72! (0 Comments) (link)
 Thursday, 2-January-2003  02:48:33 (GMT +10) - by Agg

The latest craze in our Team OCAU Forum is RC5-72. The previous RC5 project (64) has long finished and its replacement is now running. Full info in this thread. Basically, it's using your idle CPU cycles to break an encryption scheme - it just runs on your PC without you needing to do anything in particular. There's some money up for grabs if you're lucky enough to be the one who gets the magic combination, but mostly it's about out-producing other teams in terms of the work completed.

It's similar to Folding but apparently better for slower PC's or those only intermittently connected to the net. So anyway, full details and how to get started are here and if your output is sufficient you can get into clubs or win awards.
