I support those two projects too, for the same reasons you do.

I run milkyway@home. Ive allways been interested in astronomy and how our galaxy looks and evolved. Some day i hope milkyway can show us a 3d map.

I support SETI@home because I do believe life (although possibly not intelligent) exists somewhere else in the universe, the community here is incredible and the science of it is intriguing. I am very surprised that SETI@home and other SETI projects receive little or no funding from government sources.

PrimeGrid is my back up project. Not the most meaningful of projects, I know, but they always have ample work in supply, they're a stable project, and one day you might just hit the jackpot!

I have forayed into other projects before, but I always keep returning to these two in particular.

I am running something like 65 projects on my machines. With various resource shares. CPDN and CPDN Beta have the largest resource shares.

I run Seti to find intelligent live in space, because we do not have lots of it here on earth.

I run Rosetta and Superlink to find a cure for diabetics.

I run Orbit to find NEA´s.

I run Beta Projects to support the projects.

John, but according to your .sig, not Seti.

I'm a member of The Planetary Society so you know why I crunch here. One of my machines is a MAC, so not all projects are available to me, which limits my choices. Shame. I don't want to crunch for any project where some individual is going to get a patent on the result and make a pile of cash off it. Basic research is more my thing. Physics or math more so than biology.

BOINC Synergy has been having problems parsing the S@H stats recently because of the size. These stats have been removed for a while so they can be worked on.

I run SETI because it is here I started in BOINC and because, deep down inside, I am still a believer (an occasional heretic perhaps, but still a believer.)

I run Einstein because of the physics.

I run Prime Grid because I needed a backup one time when both Seti and Einstein were down.

I just recently started CPDN for no particular reason.

Had some dalliances with other projects as well but they often seem more concerned with credit totals than the science so I drifted away from them.

Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

Albert Einstein

I run SETI out of loyalty. I've been with it from the early days and it's like an old pair of shoes... it feels comfortable.

In addition, I run Einstein (a CPU project so SETI has the GPU all to itself) and LHC (which has been a bit of a disappointment).

---

I am running SETI, Einstein, QMC, CPDN (two models) and AQUA, This is launched by s firm, D-Wave, trying to build a quantum computer but, in my opinion, is still so far from commercial applications so to be almost basic science. Also, it is a multithreading application and it is interesting to see how Boinc deals with it.

I have been crunching Seti for 10 years. That is my main interest. I am also a member of team Seti.USA. From time to time there will be a call to help with other projects. Being loyal to the team I will put some or all of my computers on the projects until the goal is reached. Most of my machines are on Seti. One is on Milkyway and one on VTU. I crunch VTU because I want to be one of the few millionairs on that project. Milkyway both for the science and for the credit.

I only run Seti.

With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

When I decided I needed a second project because SETI was not keeping my computer busy, I looked at Climate but came to the conclusion that they were just trying to refine their number and not looking at all possible options like warming is not a problem. I picked world community grid because for the most part they are doing research without a bias. They also have many projects and short of a server down condition, they always have all the work you can process.

I run 3 on my machines

The iMac runs SETI only

The Dell runs SETI on the CPU and Collatz on the ATI 4650

The Quad runs SETI on the CPU and MilkyWay on the ATI 4830.

N = R x fp x ne x fl x fi x fc x L

If you like biological diversity you should also like computational diversity. E.g. it is interesting to see how a multithreading app like AQUA shares two cores with other projects.

My computer's specification is average Master Tullio. My primary concern is SETI.

It seems to me that CPDN is ignoring something really important.

We live next to a variable star.

We have three documented drops in solar output, commonly called the Maunder Minimum, the Dalton Minimum, and the Sporer Minimum.

The "year without a summer" occurred during the Dalton minimum.

So, I don't do CPDN. If someone had a BOINC project that tried to predict solar variance, I'd be interested.

An article in "Geophysical Research Letters" quoted in "Le Scienze", the Italian edition of Scientific American, says that ice cores from both the South polar and the North polar regions show quantities of sulfuric acids compatible with a huge volcanic emission in equatorial region, which lowered the Earth's temperature. That gave rise to the "year without summer". This before the Tambora eruption of 1815, which worsened things.

I won't review all of the research, but if the eruptions occurred in an average year, there may have been a (cooler than normal) summer.

The Maunder Minimum and the Sporer Minimum were not good times for the planet. Things got cold.

That's my other objection to CPDN. It doesn't consider volcanism either. There are too many inputs, and some of them are significant.
