no idea what this thread is about. Are you guys mining bitcoins with your laptops
It’s about the OP.
No. No, we are not.
what are you doing with idle laptops?
Mining bitcoins for other people. They just tell us they are using them to find a cure for diseases.

I’m gonna add a temp project while WCG is being tested.
ETA: Holy 
!!! I have a Mapping Cancer Markers that’s only 25% done after 18 hours!!! WTH???

My personal laptop finished all its tasks this morning; the work laptop has about 1-2 days worth of tasks. Still gonna run Folding@Home while WCG gets transferred.

The main desktop has this for processor and GPU.
Processor AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor, 4000 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)
Name NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
But there’s another desktop and a laptop that chip in some too. I had my son’s machine on it while he was out of town for a weekend, and it’s a real workhorse.

Well that certainly changes the question from "can I afford a ryzen 9 processor’ to ‘can I afford not to have a ryzen 9 processor’.
I find it curious how a current mid-range desktop cpu can blow an older high end server cpu right out of the water.
Iv’e got a server sitting idle in the data center, I think maybe next month if my dev has some free time I should get it running on there. Plus I’ve got a spare desktop in my office should get cracking on that. Just waiting for a new cpu fan because the current one is just loud enough that I don’t want it running. And I’ve got a cold-spare server (well, actually I’ve got two) sitting in my office. Not sure how I could get those running, they’re not really something I can run at home because loud, and I’m out of rackspace in the data center. Will need to consider more.

I tried adding Rosetta@Home to my WCG, but it’s conflicting huge with Folding@Home. Gonna detach the Rosetta@Home once the current units finish.

When a Raising Canes opened near us, one of the drive-thru servers always wrote √beer to label that soda, made me happy.
Also, folding@home is better at not overheating my CPU than WCG was, so I haven’t had any “Windows shut down unexpectedly” b.s. to deal with. That’s been nice.

Transfer and backup of all WCG data, performant storage layer, DNS and domains now in care of Krembil.

Infrastructure Update: All Mission Critical Data Backed Up, Storage Layer Tested, Pass!
Transfer and backup of all WCG data, performant storage layer, DNS and domains now in care of Krembil.
Published on: 9 Mar 2022
Author: Krembil WCG Team
All system data has been transferred from IBM to Krembil infrastructure and successfully backed up to tape storage. Incremental backups of all mission critical data will occur nightly going forward.
The initial stress test of the storage layer has confirmed that storage facilities will be sufficient to operate the grid, based on peak loads observed in previous years.
Continuous Integration and Deployment protocols have been adapted to the Krembil infrastructure and are currently in use. DNS records and all WCG domains have been transferred to the Krembil team and updated to point to Krembil servers.
Thank you for your support.

World Community Grid volunteers contributed to 32 projects so far
With almost 2.5 million years of scientific computations, the amazing WCG volunteers contributed to 32 scientific projects already.
Published on: 18 March 2022
From 2004 to 2022 many things have changed, including data centers, the WCG back-end, volunteer hardware, projects, and the number of volunteers. As a result, more work units have been completed each day. We are nearing 2.5 million years of scientific computation.
The dedication of volunteers (and researchers) keeps increasing. The growing number and diversity of projects will require increased computational capacity. Until now, 32 projects (5 remain active in 2022) benefited from the computational power offered by WCG. Individual projects varied in duration, and amount of volunteer computation contributed.
The acronyms for individual projects are defined as follows (in alphabetical order; current projects are highlighted in blue): Africa Rainfall Project: ARP ; AfricanClimate@Home: ACH ; Beta Testing: Beta ; Computing for Clean Water: CCW ; Computing for Sustainable Water: CSW ; Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together: DDDT ; Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together - Phase 2: DDDT2 ; Drug Search for Leishmaniasis: DSL ; FightAIDS@Home: AIDS ; FightAIDS@Home - Phase 2: AIDS2 ; GO Fight Against Malaria: GOFAM ; Genome Comparison: GC ; Help Conquer Cancer: HCC ; Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy: HCMD ; Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 2: HCMD2 ; Help Defeat Cancer: HDC ; Help Fight Childhood Cancer: HFCC ; Help Stop TB: HSTB ; Human Proteome Folding: HPF ; Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2: HPF2 ; Influenza Antiviral Drug Search: IADS ; Mapping Cancer Markers: MCC ; Microbiome Immunity Project: MIP ; Nutritious Rice for the World: NRW ; OpenPandemics - COVID-19: OPN1 ; OpenZika: OZ ; Outsmart Ebola Together: OET ; Say No to Schistosoma: SNS ; Smash Childhood Cancer: SCC ; The Clean Energy Project: TCEP ; The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2: TCEP2 ; Uncovering Genome Mysteries: UGM .
66K active members contributed in the last year, and over time 806,240 unique members contributed to WCG; of those, 452,595 joined 36,408 teams. Teams are a great way to interact and compete, and the higher the number of teams a participant is part of, the longer they tend to contribute (as visible in the next figure).
Thank you all for supporting citizen science.

Hey, I’m a citizen scientist! I should put that on my résumé.
