natrik asked a question in Wuala on October 13, 2009 15:04:

How are traded credits tracked, if login is not necessary?

It was mentioned that I don't have to be logged in for my traded (space * uptime) credit to be applied to my account. How is this achieved? Is it based on a unique hash for each running client? Is it tracked by IP address? (cause I have a dynamic IP, ya know) I want to understand the limits of how this works.

I don't want to login if there's a sure way I'll be attributed credit (mainly because the password thing seems very insecure to automate). Also, if my IP changes, should the -nogui "daemon" be restarted?

Thanks.

Yes, hopefully someone using NAS would be able to see everything on it anyway. Unless I'm REALLY missing something. – natrik, on October 13, 2009 14:56

Yes, screen is very wonderful. If you can even change the default "command character" from the default of CTRL-A.
Default: screen -e^aa
I use CTRL-P: screen -e^pp
The manpage has LOTS more info, but this is useful if you have screen within screen (for example spanning more than one machine). – natrik, on October 13, 2009 14:54

How does it attribute your storage credit properly without being logged in? If it's tied to my IP, then when it changes, I will no longer receive credit. Unless there is a unique ID for each client or something. How does that work? – natrik, on October 13, 2009 14:47

startTrading only needs to be called once. It is then saved as a setting. You also don't need to be logged in to earn storage. So once you have configured Wuala to trade storage for you, all you need to do is to start it.
