My most powerful and most unused computer is my XBOX ONE X. Any chance of putting out an app for the XBOX considering your app already runs on Windows and uses GPUs? |

If it runs a normal version of Windows (8 or 10) and has normal hardware (recognizable x86 or x64 CPU) then why would it need a special app? Unless you mean a science app but you'll really need to ask the appointed projects for that. |

I have a friend who runs BOINC on his Xbox but only by dual booting with Linux. Edit currently in Scotland so unable to ask him ins and outs of this. |

Xbox uses an Xbox operating system. You can install a full version of Windows, or Linux on it. But no one is going to make a program for the XBOX one, as in a few weeks/months it'll be outdated and replaced by the Next gen XBOX console; that is a multitude more powerful. |
