World Community Grid on BOINC

WCG computes scientific tasks on distributed computers since 2004.

I started with WCG just several months ago since I realized BOINC app is available not only for PCs but also for Android mobile devices. My achievements are as follows:

• 484 tasks computes

• 2 gold badges earned for Covid-19 and cancer markers projects

Anyone can join this project directly with BOINC app or by registering first on IBM site. Please feel free to register with my referral (I may earn a badge for recruitment :-).

There are the following advantages of computing for WCG:

1. WCG tasks have minimal hardware requirements and run almost in any modern device - phone or tab. Or Raspberry Pi

2. WCG tasks update consistently and I experienced no issue with reporting them. Other projects may have some errors with reporting

3. BOINC app (for all project) has very user friendly interface and settings for best experience. App can be set up to run only when charging, or with inactive monitor. It can be set to switch off if battery is heating. (Normally it is not heating).

4. Gridcoins can be earned for participation if run via Grcpool

5. It is possible to join and support teams.
