Guys,
I have this idea in mind to add more clients to one's workforce. I'm just talkin about me and others might disagree or agree...which is totally cool.
One way that I managed to get 4-5 clients crunching is by this way.
I get a lot of requests from friends and their friends to fix their slowing comps or reinstall OS or just do some kind of troubleshooting. I do it for them...free of cost. I could charge them...they even tell me to...but I don't. Instead I install WCG on the machine that I am fixing, set it to operate only at 60-70% (less if its an old CPU) only when the user is idle. This way, their comps are gettin fixed, they are even donating their idle cycles for a good cause and the only thing that I am doing is adding them to my team. For the time that I have spent troubleshooting and fixing their comps...I think I could do this. I could not do this and fix their comps and call it quits...but those spare cycles would still go wasted. Nobody would get benefited. Sure I could explain to them about WCG...but it would take too much time to make them to understand and some are ignorant and arrogant. That's human nature.
If hackers could create botnets for generating DOS attacks and other malacious activity wherein the user is unknowingly takin part in a crime, why cant we get in some comps like this wherein the machine is being put to a noble cause only during idle time which would otherwise be wasted?
Though the output I am getting from comps added like this are less, they are putting in some numbers. Something is better than nothing!!
What do u guys think?

Shiv
