As a "loosely knit" group of computer users from all over the world, we take up challenges and run projects which require a lot of computing power. We solve these by utilizing the combined idle processing cycles of our members' computers. That's why we are called "distributed.net". Our more official name is Distributed Computing Technologies Inc. (or DCTI in short). You can read more about DCTI in our legal area or read more about our goals in our mission statement.
