Obviously since they can't afford paid hosting they also can't afford to donate cash to keep HelioHost going. We've come up with a new way for someone who can't donate to help us continue providing our great service for free. Even if you are able to make a monetary donation, you can still help sustain HelioHost with this new program as well. You can donate your idle computer. Have you heard of bitcoins? It takes the processing power of millions of computers around the world to operate these new cryptocurrencies. All of that processing power gets rewarded by earning some of the very currency they are producing. It's one of the most innovative ideas of the last 10 years, and we've made it really easy to help out. We wrote a program called HelioMine that runs on Windows PCs. It works sort of like a screensaver, but it uses the CPU when you're not to mine for cryptocurrency. Each computer on it's own might not be able to accumulate much more than a few cents per day, but if enough of our 17,000 users run this program it could fully fund our service allowing us to buy more servers. With more servers we would be able to expand and improve our services even more. I've personally been testing this program for the last month and I've single-handedly earned HelioHost over $30. It runs in the background when I'm not needing all of my CPU power, and if it wasn't for the notifications I honestly wouldn't even notice it. You can even disable the notifications if they bother you. I wouldn't ask you to install something on your computer if I wasn't 100% confident that it was thoroughly tested and safe. If you run antivirus software on your computer it may block our program from operating correctly. The reason for this is because our mining software is so small and unobtrusive that many hackers have tried to sneak something like it onto people's computers without getting permission. The hacker would just use the compromised computer to mine into their own wallet. This is obviously a false positive since you are knowingly installing the software to do exactly what we say it's for. If you need help figuring out how to whitelist it in your particular antivirus application let us know and we can help. Likewise, we aren't able to digitally sign our program so it's going to produce some scary looking messages when you're installing it. This is because it costs a minimum of $75 per year to digitally sign installers. It kind of defeats the point if we lose more money than we gain. When you install the software it will ask for your HelioHost username. This is so we can track how much each account is mining. We plan on giving out rewards to people who mine a minimum amount each month, and the person who mines the most in a single month, etc. The exact details of the rewards will be published on our news feed once we see how many people are interested in running HelioMine. You aren't limited to one computer either. If you install this on all of your computers with the same username you will get credit for the sum. Let us know if you have any questions by posting at https://www.helionet.org/ or by simply replying to this email. Thanks for being a member of the community. You are what makes HelioHost great!

Krydos Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Yes, the program requires internet connection. It downloads its information from our servers, it downloads its assignment from the pool, and then it uploads the statistics to our server so we can give credit to you. Without internet it won't do much of anything.
