Project Dolphin Automags.org Team

[WarBUCKs]

Hey everyone,

I have been part of a "program" called Project Dolphin for a long time now. This "program" actually keeps track of how many keys you type on a daily or hourly basis. The results are then sent to a server that compares you with everyone else in the world.

I was actually one of the original users back in the day, but the project abruptly came to an end due to lack of funds. I lost over 5 million "strikes" on the keyboard. Well, the project was picked up by a guy in the Netherlands and it is up and running again.

I have started a team called "Automags.org" and currently I am the only member. I want to invite you all to join the team and keep track of how many keys you hit on a daily or hourly basis.

The website if you are interested is: <a href=http://www.project-dolphin.nl>Project-Dolphin</a>

There is a small program you download and this sits in the program tray on the bottom right of you screen (default). This will keep track of your information and can "Pulse" the server every hour or 24 hours if you like. You can also manually pulse the server.

This program is similar to SETI@Home, but runs continuously in the background monitoring your keystrokes. Anytime I type, play a video game or surf the internet I get my keystrokes counted and added to the Automags.org team.

I figure that we type so much stuff here on AO that will be able to destroy alot of the competition out there. I don't think we will be able to ever catch up to the Dutch Power Cows (trust me, they are the number 1 typers), but I think we got a chance to get pretty high. Your typing will also benefit the USA because they rank by country. The US is in second place right now! :(

To join the team:
1. Log on to the server using your "Username/Password."
2. Click on "Teams."
3. Click on "Search/Join a team."
4. Type in Automags and click search!
5. On the right hand side of the Team name is a "Join" button. Click that and you are a new member!!!

Happy Typing!
Rob

Coo coo i just joined hope some more peeps will

[EsPo]

I've joined as well :)


How do you see how many keystrokes you've actually taken since you joined?

edit- Ah I got it now... :)

[vf-xx]

Hrm. I saw this and thought to myself "But they finally named it the Gamecube...."

Interesting. Is this project actually being used for a specific study?

[ChucktheMAGician]

Hmmmm, is this some secret way to get passwords to accounts? If it tracks how many times I hit the keyboard what's to stop it from recording what I type?:confused:

[FalconGuy016]

Hey I got it
Is there anyway to view your keystrokes from your computer?
Now I have another thing to post whore :)

Edit: whats the difference between total keys and keystrokes? why does warbuck have like 700,000 total keys and 50,000 keystrokes? lol

[personman]

oic I joined lOL WTF OMG LOL BONAR??!?

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

I looked through all 1000 plus teams and Automags wasnt on there, how did I get to it?

[logamus]

its automags.org spongebob.

im glad to see this thing back up and running again. i got a kick out of it before.

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

Ok, I'm all joined up turned out I was just useing the wrong search thing.

[ZAust]

i have joined!! woohoo i wanna get more keystrokes my favorite flavor of fudge is green i like to run to the cow house woo woo fun fun

[JonDaAzn]

cool!! guess who joined!

[sps16]

yea, i was doing that on something other forum for a while, its kidna of fun

[BobTheCow]

*sigh* blame my 56k...
If I download this, will it randomly connect every hour or 24 hours? Or can I set it for only manual updating?
This sounds like it'd be cool to have, but I don't need my parents bi0tching about another one of my "stupid computer thingees" messing with the internet.

[sps16]

heres a team page
http://www.project-dolphin.nl/team.php?tid=2312
warbucks you might want to put that in the first post :D

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

It can be set to were you only do it manually.

[einhander619]

I dare say, my good man, dreadfully fascinating, this keystroke counting business. I should let it be known that as of the writing of this electronic communique, I shall be typing, as the proletariat say "fancy" in a concerted effort to bolster AO's rating.

[personman]

I fully agree with the statement that was previousytalyy stated (umm?? :confused: ) I will no longer use internet slang like 'lol' and 'omg' I will say, laugh out loud and oh my god ecteretarea, ecteretarea, ecterecarereafddgfrgdbdfgb fdgshfth fgngfhbnfdghb yea.. I bet playing counterstrike for a while would be a good way to get the points up... heh yeah then I could go into a gay sex chat room... yes thats it..

[BobTheCow]

Thank you, Bob of the Sponge!!

**edit** hmm, after playing with it a little bit, I think I've got it working... now how I do I find the option to make it manual updating?

**edit #2** never mind, I found it. Yay!! It's like... getting points for typing!! lol, definitely time for bed...

**edit #3** haha why is my "contribution" lower than my "total keys"? What's the difference?

BTC out.

[gamarada717]

Ok.....so where is this join button? I don't see it....this makes me feel extremely stupid....

Originally the project was for a college student but it got so much attention and became so popular on the net, he couldn't afford to pay the bills.

That is why he posted the source code and said the first person who wanted to pick up the project would be the new owner. Some guy from Netherland picked it up and the rest is history.

[WarBUCKs]

The contribution column is how many keys you have pushed while you have been in the current team.

The Total Keys are how many you have typed!!!

Your total keys may be higher than your contributing keys because it took you some keystrokes just to join the group, get to the webpage and a ton of other stuff you could possibly do!

You typed some before you joined Automags.org.

[gamarada717]

Ah, I figured it out. Man, I bet some of the AIM convo's that I have are gonna rack up the keys!

[lord1234]

in my opinion this is a keylogger scam, i wouldnt do this i type in my secure passwords via my computer no key loggersa llowed here. This is a scam beware.

[PyRo]

I'm not doing as well as I thought. What are they going to do with my passwords, come post on AO? I don't use a credit card or anything important online.

[Curly]

I just joined. Now I need to type a bunch of random garbage. adgjhsgfjhfgsj;hgd;jfhgjfdshgsdkglhfjlshdsdglhgfl; khsfg;lksfhslkhsdklg;hsdglhs. :D

[i_baked_cookies]

nothing says this isnt a giant scam to get passwords, cc numbers, etc...

im gonna turn it off when i put in passwords and all that junk

No, no one is goign to sift through millions of characters for a single person

[logamus]

sigsays is an animal on the keyboard.

[Leroy717]

it doesn't work for me even when i login

[PyRo]

Well if they wanted to they could search for any block of charachters surrounded by Tab's the leanth of a credit card number. Then they just have to read a few lines for all your credit info.

[FreakBaller12]

toyotaboy12, I'm not on my computer anymore, I came over to a friends to work on his computer. But I still don't see the join button, and I have already registered. Beats me whats going on. Take a screenshot where this button is, I think maybe the page isn't loading up right for me.:confused:

[phantomhitman]
