Hi there, sorry for my English, it's quite bad!

I had an idea for the "how get work to non-internet computers"-problem:

With a special admin-Boincclient (the dämon) and a speciel Slave-Client, it should be possible to bring work to offline-computers!

The admin-client is just a normal client, that controls the project-clients, but but can load some WUs down with the project-client (has to be a bit a special version), calculate some checksummes and store it in a non unzipable package. This Package then could be loaded on a CD, USB-stick or whatever and brought to the offline-machine and the _slave_dämon there could check the package and if it is good, he could give it to a standart project-client to compute!
the whole way back, slave calcualtes checksummes for the result, human runs to the admin-machine and the checksum is checked, the package unpacked and the result sent to the servers via the special project-client!

Not easy to understand, I hope YOU con understand what I mean!

This reason is rather complicated, but I think secure enough to get reality!
Would be a mass of coding, or?

The computers must be connected to the internet and download the WUs themselves.....

But with my way, also the thousands of offline-computers could be "connected", and there will be no possibility to cheat because of the Chacksummes!

On Seti/classic, there where tools like SetiHIDE, that helped transfering WUs to a Memory and this Memory was plugged into another Computer and the SetiHIDE there used these WUs!!

I know that my solution might be very hard work...

This has been wished for once or twice before. It would be a great deal of work, and work on it has been postponed.

I suggest for this idea :)
this is possible

if with a disk , or a usb stick you get the WUs
and put them to the folder this is possible

how can we get just a WUs
with the name and na email and code
also together
for example they know you have the 16ja3637892 unit
and they must take somethink in the days you told them

that is the idea

:)
may the force be with YOU
always
