Slickdeals.net VS BOINC

If you check on sites like slickdeals.net, you can often find listings for ebay deals on refurbished prebuilts like this HP. It's $319 with a 5600g, 12gb ram, 256gb ssd and 1tb hdd. Source: 5 months ago

You can absolutely find a better deal than that. That hardware is quite old for the price. I'd try looking at https://reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ for the occasional prebuilt posted there, and sites like https://slickdeals.net/ have prebuilts posted as well. Source: 5 months ago

Note: If you want to pay more for better bass the Monolith 10" THX and 12" THX subs are on sale right now too-you can read the same audioholics review on both of those models. For home theatre bass matters the most, then a good center channel, then mains, then surrounds. A Speedwoofer 10S would blow you away compared to what you have and totally elevate your system immediately-the Monolith subs are more... Source: 5 months ago

I tried to post a deal on Kobra 2 Neo (what with the "singles day" 11/11 and Black Friday sales campaigns) to https://slickdeals.net/ , the deals site - only to see it deleted within a few minutes by a moderator. Source: 6 months ago

I honestly don't know if this is a bad-okay-good-great deal but I like slickdeals.net because you can read other people's comments on the particular deal and make your down decision. Not advocating, please do your own research. Source: 8 months ago

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 / 20 days ago

Or alternatively: Boinc[1], which has a bunch of different projects. [1] https://boinc.berkeley.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months 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: 6 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
