This project probably does more harm than good.

Several things:

1) Friend asked at their forums about project specifics. A researcher using the project responded directly, saying they had ample resources for getting the work done (surplus, in fact). That was last year... since then the RTX series and Navi/VII series have come out, which has likely resulted in an increase in total resources of around 30% (and climbing).

2) Researcher disclosed that additional power would not result in higher rates of progress because Stanford is unwilling to hire more staff (or even to train staff -- this is an Ivy League rich person school that lost its way) and computation outcomes must be verified thru costly and time-consuming experiments (the project is merely a predictive aid to help researchers figure which experiments are worthwhile).

3) these cards/systems are using mondo energy which is often produced by fossil fuels

Also the coin is pratically worthless and becoming moreso (no one is buying, only selling).

I participated with my own rx560 before realizing that the resources of that card were a disposable drop in the bucket.

It's been over a year since I have updated. Phillyman moved his home. I stopped running my computer 24/7.
