Just wonder if this is a waste of good computer usage. Been doing this like forever as many others. Maybe we should contribute our time to United for various medical research. Your choice of course. |

BOINC allows you to contribute to a mix of various different projects. The only three currently public are S@H, Protein Folding Predictor at http://predictor.scripps.edu/, and BOINC Beta test at http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/ap/. There are a coouple of others that are in private tests, or will start private tests soon BOINC Alpha test, Climate Prediction.Net, and AstroPulse. There are a few more that are rumored to maybe start a bit later including one on nano technology, Folding@Home, and FightAids. The idea is that you can sign up for several different projects, and specify a share of the resources that each should get. If one of the projects is out of work when work is requested, then BOINC will try the next one. |
