I guess we should stick with upcoming processor architectures instead of existing ones.. We're the future! I can share some power of my Macbook Pro if you want.. :) All for 0xPD! Alper KANAT <alperkanat@raptiye.org> Corrado Primier wrote:

Since the decision of discontinuing the i686 binary repo, many people who can't or don't want to switch will need to recompile their packages themselves. Then there's also the problem of devs and TUs who don't have access to an x86_64 machine. Striving to find a solution I came up with an idea: selling processing power!

That's right, guys. Do you own one of those slow i686-only dinosaurs? Do you need the power of an x86_64 machine to get your packages built quickly in i686 chroots? I'm here for you! I have a couple of machines I can dedicate to this task. I decided for a "political" price of 20€/year; all revenues will be donated to the OxPD (One x86_64 Per Developer) Project.

Before setting everything up I'd like to hear from the community if this is something they're interested in, and I'm obviously also asking all Arch contributors who have a decent machine (x86_64, that is...) to dedicate it to this important project that will allow all of our devs to continue their work for our favorite distro.
