    2121== How does it work? ==

    23 Your machine's idle CPU cycles will be available to CPUShare users. There is no way to know whether your CPU will only be used for libcaca projects, but if you use our `.cpu` file, the CPUCoins earned by running other software will be credited to the libcaca project's account, too. We will in turn use these CPUCoins to buy CPU cycles on other machines; maybe yours, maybe not.

    2525The CPUShare daemons run at a very low priority (`nice -19` by default) but you can stop them at any time if the impact on your system is too important.

    2727If you do not like giving CPUCoins directly to the libcaca project, you can create your own `.cpu` file by creating an account on [http://www.cpushare.com/ cpushare.com] and [https://www.cpushare.com/orders/ creating a new sell order].

     31None at the moment. We are still porting our software so that it uses CPUShare efficiently.
