***Update***

Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to join a public worker pool as an individual worker. This will be changing soon, and we’ve got some exciting plans to get individuals to connect their machines and earn RLC. You’ll be the first to know when that is!

On June 5 2019, 10:00am UTC, iExec will run a special community event for iExec Workers. For 24 hours, the number of tasks for the public worker pool will be increased, with over 7,000 RLC worth of orders placed on the iExec Marketplace. Using the virtual machine (VM) option, all you need to is connect and get ready to compute!

You’ll also need about 0.1 ETH (to hold in your account) and also 5 RLC to stake as a worker.

Since iExec V3 went mainnet, many machines have connected to the iExec Public Worker Pool and hundreds of RLC have already been earned by workers each day. We’d like to thank you to everyone who has contributed their computing power so far! We’re looking forward to ramping up the number of available tasks for this upcoming community ‘Workerdrop’ event.

Get ready!

On 5 June 2019 10:00 AM UTC, to stress test the platform and push it to its limits, we’re placing a much larger number of work orders for 24 hours, with a total of more than 7,000 RLC to be earned. You’re invited to connect your machine ASAP and get ready for the special rush on the marketplace.

Price feed update

During this event, we’ll be running iExec price feed application, updating the RLC/BTC price feed every few minutes. The price feed application uses the new decentralized oracle framework, a recent addition to the iExec stack.

How to connect your machine?

To participate, you must download and start the VM provided by iExec. Nothing special is required: you need a standard machine (Linux, MacOS, Windows), about 0.1 ETH and also 5 RLC to stake as a worker.
