Please mind the difference between "useless" and "improbable". Even improbable as the RSA-key-hunt might look like useless, but will yield the result - in some time. However current project is really useless (because they've already missed the right key).

That brings another question regarding whole of this BOINC point farming. IMHO It was made to motivate people to do more work units, but if I can make my own project doing exactly nothing (useful), pretend to do magnificent job - e.g. looking for whatever-numbers-you-can-make-up and harvest points with that?

I think it is unfair to those doing real research, however I'm here not to defend those, I'm here to make some of you think about the difference between improbable projects and useless projects, like AndrOINC.

If I were you I would do the improbable project, but since I can see the useless yield more "points", it doesn't matter, right?
