BOINC VS Zooniverse

The only way I can foresee a cryptocoin actually holding value is if spending the coin meant spending processing cycles and RAM doing things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects But in more general sense, less like https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ and more like AWS... It's the only way to have value, actually holding computing power in a distributed network. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

Or alternatively: Boinc[1], which has a bunch of different projects. [1] https://boinc.berkeley.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

Made me think of Gridcoin and BOINC https://boinc.berkeley.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

The BOINC Census is back for another year! BOINC is an open source software and network for volunteer computing. People can use it do donate their CPU/GPU power to various scientific research areas like cancer, drug discovery, mapping the galaxy, and more. Source: 5 months ago

A few years back, I was in a similar situation and found BOINC(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) to be a great way to contribute. It's a platform that lets you support various scientific research projects by sharing your computational power and bandwidth. However, it's worth noting that BOINC might tends to be more CPU/GPU intensive rather than bandwidth-heavy. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

It's not NASA, but check out zooniverse.org if you haven't already. They have a rotating series of projects where you can get involved analyzing all sorts of things. Right now one of them is identifying distant galaxies to help measure dark energy. Source: 10 months ago

There are plenty where you do things like classify galaxies from photos, transcribe handwritten scientific notes, etc. No experience necessary. Just google. zooniverse.org, etc. Source: 11 months ago

Volunteered on zooniverse.org where I helped identify and research wildlife and aquatic animals in photos to rescue and aid them. Source: over 1 year ago

Stuff like Zooniverse maybe? You can help researchers sort and analyze large amounts of data on a ton of different topics. Source: about 2 years ago

Before covid, I would have said I was an introvert, too. Surprise? I guess I’m not as much as I thought? You make a good point about volunteer work, when I had nothing else to do I started volunteering on zooniverse.org to keep busy. I think one way or the other, enough people would start wanting to do some kind of projects or work that not everyone would be sitting at home all the time, even if in the future not...
