Distributed computing projects

For Science!

Anyone else donating spare clock cycles to anything? I have a couple of machines running SETI@home, Einstein@home, and Rosetta@home on BOINC. Seems like a small but accessible way to contribute to general scientific advancement.

I figured bitcoin killed off all the philanthropic distributed computing projects.

I'm about 1 quadrillion cookies away from my 100th antimatter condenser... it should be done sometime tomorrow. Then, hopefully, I can turn it off.

That's what I thought too, but it turns out that resetting gives you a permanent performance boost based on how many cookies you had when you reset.

It also means that you can't quit after just one time through :)
