Sorry for the delay, holiday time and all. (*Having said that: with a bit of BOINC kung-fu it is technically possible but please note that doing so - and in particular making any changes to these CE-generated project accounts- will invalidate your prize draw entries.) Generally speaking it is not possible to login at project servers with these accounts.

(*We'll prepare a wiki article to show how to drop a preexisting BOINC account and attach via a CE account, to ensure that all your processing earns you chances to win in the draw.)īut if you were not a BOINC user before joining CE, then CE automatically and transparently creates project accounts for you. Please note however that in such case - where you are participating via a preexisting BOINC account - credits for computation will accumulate in your personal account and thus not be counted towards CE prize draws. If you were a BOINC user before joining CE, and had an account at a public project which CE supports (*for instance, then you can continue to login to this account as you always did. But we are committed to maintaining a minimum level of contribution to these projects, even as we grow.) (*Note: As the volume of our revenue-generating work increases, the percent of compute time dedicated to "traditional" BOINC projects will go down. It might also be worth noting that more than 85% of our users were not previously BOINC users - so it may be that a lot of people who were not motivated by science are now putting their idle PCs to work for philanthopy. And so far, so good: see these lists of winners and participating charities. So CE is not meant to be an alternative to general use of BOINC, nor to GridRepublic or similar it's a new and different use of these technologies, which aims to generate real money for real people and real charities.
What is of interest in CE is where these revenues go: as cash donations to "real world", "brick and mortar" charities. In Charity Engine, the computations are, for the most part, not of interest - except insofar as they generate revenues. In BOINC the idea is that you lend your CPU to research - the content of the computations running on your machine (protein folding, climate simulation, etc.) is of primary interest, since these computations are the cause you seek to support.īut with Charity Engine the computations are separated from the cause. Simon - as a general note, CE is different from BOINC in a few important ways:
