Distributed computing projects?
« on: November 03, 2021, 12:12:49 am »
Just curious, does anyone here participate in any distributed computing projects?

I've been participating in the Great Internet Mersenne Prime search for almost 17 years. Haven't found any record-size prime numbers, though. :(

I don't participate in existing ones, but I do write parallel and distributed code in C for mostly scientific purposes.

Participated in seti@home for years until they stopped (for the time being). Then I moved the machine I was using for that project to Einstein@home, a search for pulsars. Been with them for 1 year 7 months and have 10,000,000 credits now.

Folding@Home, which doubles as cryptocurrency mining through Curecoin/Foldingcoin.

Another good project is Archiveteam Warrior.

Not sure if it's distributed computing in the conventional sense, but I also seed (legal) torrents like Linux ISOs and mine Swagbucks.

Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Folding@home is a good cause. I didn't know it supports cryptocurrencies now!
