Hey everyone!
Just wanted to share that the new version of Distributed Cyclone is out. This platform is all about working together to solve Satoshi puzzles. Instead of going the brute force route or needing fancy hardware, it splits the load among users using distributed computing.
New Update on Distributed Cyclone: CPU Power Only?

Looks like it’s working fine. The communication between Cyclone and the server is solid.
Can you add an option for THREADS?
So, if I’m getting it right, you’re suggesting a random mode? That’s already set up on the server side. When the client asks for a range, the server sends a random segment for computation.
On the client end, the range is split based on how many threads your CPU has. Each thread tackles a specific subrange.

Nah, I mean it uses all the threads available, and that might bog down the computer.
Got it, that’s simple to fix. I’ll sort it out today or tomorrow.

Yo!
Just set up my AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS. Everything’s running smooth.
How long do you think till it gets solved?
If you’re lucky, maybe just a minute, but that’s pretty unlikely.

Alright, here’s the extra code to limit threads to -t <n> instead of using them all.
