Alternatives to F@H?
Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2014 9:11 pm
Does any one use or know anything about BOINC or World Community Grid? I am looking for a alternative to F@H.
Lets just say I have spent the last two days reading over at the F@H forums and am pretty turned off by the lack of communication from the project leadership and the condescending attitude of the forum moderators. A prime example would be this thread here where Big Advantage donors are getting a kick in the private parts with no real explanation. To sum it up if your system has less than 24 cores your out of luck come February 17th. Then two months later, If your system has less than 32 cores your also out of luck come April 17th. No more Big Advantage WU's for you.

That thread was a in reaction to this blog post from Peter Kasson.

I am having a hard time justifying the donation of my computer time and electrical costs to the Pande Group at this point. No, this is not due to my own account name error from a few days ago. But that error got me reading over on those forums and I did not like what I found.
