I propose a new type of virus that's focus is to steal and use your CPU cycles for profit.  It would use a small amount of bandwidth and hard drive space but a LOT of CPU.

You could imagine a black market for illicit CPU power.. think of the  SETI@home model and you get the idea.

That sounds great but to make sure noone abuse it, there should be a relitivly low profet, it will still a lot but less then the damage like 30 per hour to 500 mhz

I know how it can make sents. it is some what complex, and it pro mega corp. there would be three types; Omnicron one, Icarus one, and a Hakuza one. You down load each virus from the one of the mega corp server, oviously each virus comes from the naming virus. So you upload it to what ever server. So what the virus does is it uses the CPU for reseach, and the mega corp head of that virus will pay you for how many hours it is operational.

Err.. that works too... Not so sure about what other think though, but i like the idea :P! So basically we're helping the mega-corp research, ahh once again the topic of two seperate group emerges, Anti-hacker group and anti-mega corp. Maybe someone could suggest the faction ( sides ) idea again. And sometimes Sir-Emi can hold events as Anti hacker vs anti mega-corp players? Dunno just an idea :D

So you think my idea will spark conflict against players cuz it would start missions like Anti-Pro-Mega-Corp. My main goal on the forms is to make less PvP and more PvComputer. But if other people like the idea then il go with it.

Actually I've been itching for more pvp. Since it's basically free for all I thought maybe we should be split into two, Anti-Hacker, Anti-Mega-Corp. As like an official group, meaning you just dont do anti hacker mission and say oh im an anti-hacker, I mean it places you into a group where you can find a bunchload of anti hacker missions against hackers who arent in the mega corp group, and visa versa. Also while on the topic, there isnt that many anti-hacker missions either. If i were controlling a huge corporation sought to dominate the world's web, i'd be constantly trying to hunt down the hackers who are messing with me.

same, and i want to see official factions as well........... SGP is the only commonly known group, and i can understand secrecy but it limits newbie possibilities and gives everyone above them an edge..........

Also players can form personal groups within groups or work together as anti-hacker anti-mega-corp hackers. It would be very interesting but it might take a while for Sir Emi to code this to make it worth while :]
