NEW PROJECT - Pi Segment (not boinc)

[gatekeeper53]

Since the machine is in my daughters room I'm positive that she was to blame and not the client. I think she might have just shut it down without knowing. She runs about 6 instant message programs at all times and at 14 can create one heck of an enviroment along with online gaming and lord know what else. She's sleeping now but when she goes off to school in the morning I'll try and get the log to you.

We have a nice group running Pi Segment now. There's 20 of us leading the way now.

If LeBo keeps up his rate in pi segment, he'll overtake #1 in 14 days!!! Go LeBo!!!

[NeoGen]

The Dutch Power Cows are coming up strong, with even more members than us... we might have to fight for our #1 spot soon.

[LeBo]

You're right NeoGen, the COWS are coming. C'mon guys.

I'd like to create a linux version but I'm a freshman in Linux programming. And currently I am the only one who is responsible to design the client. Maybe we could implement it after I found a good partner familiar with Linux.

Many users may be curious if you will release your source code if you do a Linux port. I remember reading on your website that you don't release your source for security reasons. Would you do it if you did a Linux client? You wouldn't have to.

I'm sorry I don't get you (my English is poor ). What do you mean by "Would you do it if you did a Linux client? You wouldn't have to."?

[NeoGen]

Steinfal's question is, would you release the PI Segment source code to public if you created a linux client?

[JUST]

No, the source code will be only disclosed to some cooperative developers rather than public before the project is completed.
Also, it is not easy to develop a Linux version because the client used many system related techniques.

People just keep dragging more machines into Pi Segment! I just counted 287 machines just in the top 100 users. Lord only knows how many cores that represents.
