I am interested to know if it is worth joining or not. Looks like I would be able to contribute roughly 120 LLP a day since I run for roughly 12 hours a day. Wondering what the LLP gets used for? I have had a read around the site, however haven't been able to find this sort of information ID: 2065693 · Reply Quote

I have had a read around the site, however haven't been able to find this sort of information From a quick look, to me that looks all very suspicious of a 'shell' company startup commercializing (and profiting from) freely given volunteer computing. Throw in the current top buzz acronym of 'Helping out for COVID' and away they go... In my opinion, far better to donate your computer time, and electricity and your time, to the trustworthy truly well known academia.

Gift cards? Scam as how can one provide monetary value for nothing? One can only know for certain by joining & downloading "work units". No thanks. If they are genuinely aware of Boinc, then surely, their website would have been more detailed. ID: 2065723 · Reply Quote

I don't know just how many Boinc projects there has been but I have crunched 53(stats only show 52 - don't know what happened with Reisalsieve). They all had one thing in common - what they were crunching & why. The ones I felt interested in, I crunched. This one, sorry too vague for me. ID: 2065884 · Reply Quote

Does anyone think that we will ever start crunching again? I keep going back and forth on selling the rig but I know if I do I'll regret it.... I hope everyone is doing good I miss talking to everyone even if it was just questions on how to get the most out of my computer lol!

I doubt SETI will ever come back. My opinion. But unless you need the cash, why not just sit on the computer and put it in the closet. Or run it on other deserving projects. Plenty to choose from other than SETI. Plenty of people running 5,6 . .8 year old hardware on projects now. The Threadripper will still be a powerhouse 10 years from now.

It will be for gaming, which is my main hobby now. It comes from a PC Builder and will hopefully be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 at high and stable FPS which my current machine cannot do !

Well only Einstein Gravity Wave work is safe currently if you have any card newer than Pascal generation. If you have Pascal or older, then Gamma Ray Pulsar work is still safe.
