Blackberry edits Today I had some time to play with my photos and artistic apps. This is a blackberry edited with Photomania filters. I like how this app transforms image with sharp and clear colours ! I also had couple of outputs with Mirror Lab editor. I hope these are interesting to see as well. Interesting, how these images will be looking on a wall if printed. Sometimes it is difficult to stop generating outputs and select the best one! The header image is also produced…
Protein Folding and Citizen Science Folding@home is a distributed computing project that was launched in October 2000. Now, 20 years later, F@H has become the most powerful computer on the earth. This supercomputer maintained by thousands of citizen scientists to perform biomolecular research, discover pathogenesis, find possible treatments. Project statistic can be found as follows: https://foldingathome.org/ https://stats.foldingathome.org…
Start with Banano (BAN) Banano (BAN) is probably the best crypto currency for beginners, but not only beginners!! There are no transaction fees, large community and lot of give aways. **Wallets and BAN address:** Kalium is the best with brand new Monkeys https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.banano.kaliumwallet https://www.publish0x.com/banano/the-all-new-monkey-is-here-your-visual-banano-address-repres-xxoplog?a=y5eVqn1dEP Atomars exchange address can be used as…
Autumn forest with ARTi filters ARTi app for Android is available on Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photo.artboard The app applies Artificial Intelligence algoriths to transform images in an artistic way. These pictures are taken in today's forest. The autumn is slowly starting and there will be more colours soon Trees are lovely objects for photoshooting and AI filters make photos look like paintings. There are so many filters that it is…
BOINC: isn't it amazing? I just realized that while i am reading read.cash, my Moto Action phone computes 4 different projects with all 4 CPUs. At the same time, and while I am writing this post (!), BOINC helps to search pulsars for einstein@home, solves COVID-19 task, works on child cancer diseases and maps cancer markers. This is a first task for Smash Childhood Cancer WCG project, that I received on my phone to compute. Till now my performance with WCG as an individual…
Mushroom season has started with photoart apps. Mushroom pictures are nice but it is not always easy to have a good photo. Also mushroom identifying apps are not always reliable. What I got today are very testy mushrooms, called Suillius. These are not only eatable, but delicious mushrooms. But this post is to show mushrooms via photo filters and photo apps. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suillus This one in done with ARTi Android app. The one below is with Mirror Lab…
Folding@home, education & school tasks for kids Folding@home is a most powerful computer in the world, run by the citizen scientists. This project started 20 years ago in October 2000. Starting to compute for science with F@H is easy, installation is straight forward and described at F@H homepage. https://foldingathome.org/ F@H provides additional scientific information on every computed task. This is what I am a little bit missing with BOINC. The project description can be…
Great news! AMD to support BOINC project of the Trento University by its computing power : - gene@home. Here is announcement from AMD: https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/hpc-fund Here is announcement from the University: https://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/forum_thread.php?id=292 Here is announcement from BOINC: https://twitter.com/BOINCNetwork/status/1306722489075200003?s=20
Heating@home with folding@home & banano. These are two laptops folding proteins with the Banano.cc team. These images are thermal camera images, captured with non-professional, low resolution FLIR camera. https://banano.cc https://www.flir.com/ The one on the right is more powerful with a GPU, one on the left - just 4 CPUs. Temperature in the room may not be exact but it was above 20. Cold objects are more in blue spectrum, hot are red. The hottest object is power supply. It…
BCH wallet (read.cash) in a view mode. About Magnum wallet. Magnum wallet has a great feature that I miss with some other wallets. https://magnumwallet.co/ There is an option to set up multiple view wallets without entering private keys. It is not possible to add any blockchain wallet but selection of coins is quite extensive and BCH wallet is available to import or setup in a view mode. So, in addition to the regular options of creating or importing a wallet with private…
Coinomi to delist Gridcoin (GRC) on September 23rd. Gridcoin (GRC) supports scientific computations with BOINC. Coinomi wallet was one of the option to store GRC but there was no staking option with this wallet. Now GRC is being delisted and action has to be taken. Here is an announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/gridcoin/comments/iu9vsd/psa_coinomi_wallet_delisting_gridcoin/ There are 5 options available: Official wallet- it is probably the best option but is not available…
Found it! Official Android BOINC app version with GRC Pool. Version 7.16.03 from October 2019 has an option to select GRC Pool and 'mine' gridcoin. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php Or a direct download link from Berkeley to apk file here. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.16.3.apk Google Play version is older, from 2016 and does not have an option to attach GrcPool. I was reading so many posts on how to edit BOINC app so I was not looking for an official…
September World Community grid update is about mapping cancer project: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=649 This is the project that I contribute to with several mobile phones. The computation is about finding rules on the markers within tissues, liquids or cells, that can be associated with different types of cancers. This can be key for early diagnostics and treatment strategies. More information can be found on WCG forum:…
Android tab economics with BOINC Now this Android tab with the broken screen is back to work with all it's 8 CPUs. https://read.cash/@Swca.ch/use-of-a-tab-with-a-broken-screen-boinc-b1147a58 It works 24/7 with cover on and wifi off. It is ****not**** used as a room heater but computes 8 BOINC tasks with World Community Grid with all CPUs. *Temperature on the thermal images may not be precise as well as other numbers below is just a little experiment.* There are however set…
Gridcoin (GRC) for BCH on southXchange. Gridcoin rewards and promotes scientific research with BOINC. Gridcoin can be staked in gridcoin wallet, deposited for interest or traded. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridcoin There are several options to aquire Gridcoin. Computation with BOINC via grcpool. Browser microgrid page (not working on Android phone due to page refresh) https://microgrid.arikado.ru/ Faucets (fractions of a coin but perfect for testing wallets)…
End September forest, mushrooms. View via Photomania filters. My Motorola phone is very productive in computations of BOINC tasks, outperforming other phones by number and performance (less to not heating up). But camera is not particularly good as phone is budget. More expensive Samsung or iPhone have better camera. Nethertheless, I am trying to get maximum out of this Moto g9 play phone. This is a picture slightly adjusted with the Snapseed app. Not particularly good but…
BOINC World Community Grid September update: Emerald badge for computing Cancer Markers project. Badges on the World Community Grid (WCG) projects are to recognize time effort spent on the project. 2 days ago I received a notice of achievement of am Emerald badge for the Mapping Cancer Markers project. The emerald badge is given for providing a year of computer power (in sum for several CPUs) to the project. In my statistic on the WCG website I can see that 1 year and 5 days…
Folding@home is 20 y.o. in October 2020 Folding@home is one of the oldest and a very successful citizen science project. F@H became most powerful and most supported distributed supercomputer on the earth. https://foldingathome.org/ Today my computers work on several F@H tasks, including Covid-19 research project 13426. This project is to find small, inexpensive molecules that can be potential treatments from Covid-19 disease. The project is detailed at F@H webpage, with…
