Donate@Home: One week progress

[RSS]

HI,in these 7 days, we set up the project, made the ati application work, encounter criticism, found support and encouragement. I would like to cite this anonymous cruncher:"Although D@H could very well take from other projects, it's an alternativeproject type. Others might see this as new and innovative; adding a newdimension to the use of Boinc. In business you win awards for doing thingslike this! At the very least it adds choice for Boinc crunchers, and nobodyhas to participate.In so much as you could argue that D@H could detract from other projects,you could equally argue that D@H could attract crunchers, and from thenon-Boinc BitCoin world to Boinc as a whole, and if advertised correctlycould bring a whole new group of people (charity givers) to crunching."This is indeed what happened so far looking at the stats.Most incredibly, with less than 100 users we have raised 100 bitcoins which at the current evaluation would be enough in a month to pay a salary of a student (approx 1200 euro per month). We have to improve a lot in describing how the all bitcoin experiment works and what we are doing with the calculations. That's all.
