Howdy Kevin. Yep, once you have a project running, as long as they have work you will continue to get more and all uploading and downloading is automatic. At least when the project server is working correctly...... :))

It will upload by itself and get you new work to work on too as long as you are connected to the internet. Once they receive your work unit they (their computers or whatnot, I don't know the details) will process it and allocate you credit for having done it. Credits are really just to know how much work you've done (especially compared to others who are working on the project). You don't trade them in for anything and they don't have any really value but it's always fun to see the numbers go up.

I heard that they already split up the Martian surface and are allocating homesteds to people who can come up with a billion credits. Can't wait!

okay, i wasnt sure what credits were. nevertheless, everything is running fine. i left boinx run in the back ground for the most part and normally do not notice it there now. i hope this is help for you guys. thinking about getting some new hardware for more memory.

and to you crazy nice one, lol. that would indeed be nice. but i would just settle for a maned exploration at this point. im sure it cant be too bad lol.

ty for help.

Welcome to the team!

Make sure to attach to FreeHAL and WuProp as they are non-cpu intensive and basically free credits.
