Mission Statement
We are a team of Key Checkers that are

Description
RC5 For Jesus is a team participating in
Distributed.net's RC5-64 Challenge. The team is made up of Christians seeking to put
the team name, and the name of their Holy Savior on the often visited Top
Ten List. A knowledge of computers or the internet isn't required. RC5 For
Jesus spans all age groups, ethic backgrounds, and knowledge levels alike! RC5 For
Jesus would love to have you on our team, if you're not on it already.
RC5-72 has started. Scroll down

Quick Guide
1. Download a Distributed.net client
appropriate to your
OS and platform here.
2. Install it on your system, and configure it
how you
like. You'll mainly want to make sure you enter your e-mail
address properly. Other options you may want to set are:
A. Buffer and Buffer Update Options / Keyserver<->
client connectivity
options - there, you can set
Dialup-link detection if you are
on a dialup connection.
Choosing option 1 or 2 instead of
the default of 0 will
cause the client to automatically
update buffers when
you connect to the internet.
B. Buffer and Buffer Update Options / Fetch work
Threshold -
Depending on how fast your CPU is, you
might want to set your own value
rather than using
the default. Keeping the
buffer size high will decrease
the chance that your computer will run out of
work to do,
should the client not be able to
connect to a server.
C. General Client Options / Disable all screen
output
If you set up your client
so that the buffers will
update by themselves and you don't
want to even
see the client on the screen at
all, then this is the
option for you. I personally
like to know what's
going on, so I have this disabled,
but it's there if you
want to use the feature.
D. Buffer and Buffer Update Options / Load-work
precedence -
This will depend on which project you
prefer to work on. To work
on RC5 only, set this option
to RC5-72,OGR=0.
For OGR only, use OGR,RC5-72=0
E. Buffer and Buffer Update Options /
Keyserver<->client
connectivity options:
-
Automatically set a distributed.net keyserver = No
- Keyserver host name = 149010.vserver.de
3. After you get the client configured, you may want to add
a shortcut to the client in the StartUp menu (if you're running
Windows) so it'll always run when you start your computer.
After the client completes at least one packet, right-click the
window and update the buffers. That'll make sure you get into
the next stats run. The next day, after the stats run completes,
usually around 10:00 PM (PST), do a participant search at
http://stats.distributed.net/projects.php?project_id=8
for the email address
that you configured the client with. Click the link on the
results page that follows, and you should be at your stats page.
4. At the bottom of the page, click the button that says "Please
email me my password", and you should get an email in a few
minutes with your password in it.
5. With your e-mail address and password in hand, just go
to the joining
link above, and join. Or, just go to the team's
stats page and click on the "I want to join this team!" link
at the bottom.
6. Once you've got client options set how you like them,
you can just let the client do its job -- you don't have
to do anything further with it. Keep in mind that by default,
the program will run at the lowest priority, so it won't interfere
with everything else you do with the computer.
What's Next
After getting all that done, you can check how the team's doing compared to
the other teams, and also how you're doing among the other members of the
team. The password for the members list can be obtained by emailing either me
at shy24@hawaii.rr.com or the team coordinator, jakin@execpc.com. In addition to checking
statistics, RC5 For Jesus is always in search of new members. If you have a web site
and would like to advertise your membership in RC5, we would love to have you link to us.
