RE: "For the betterment of BOINC" - Post suggestions on how to improve BOINC!
- Anything to lower the technological hurdle to start.
- Adding some catchy, canned social media things would be fine... "I'm searching for Aliens! #boinc"
Are you referring to Gridcoin with this?
BOINC itself can be taken from cold to fully functional and running work units in 2 minutes flat.
i think you both might suffer from the curse of experience = ). setting up and using BOINC is a multi platform experience -- gui, project websites, simplified view, advanced view. I have never walked someone through setting up BOINC and heard them say "wow! that was easy!" then checking in a week later I rarely hear "yeah i learned so much more!"
Yeah, setting up BOINC and getting it crunching a project doesn't take long at all.. perhaps it'd be better if the client highlighted the most compatible projects for your computer so as to prevent trying to run an nVidia project on an AMD rig?
Integration of social media to once a month post an update of the user's crunching contributions? Could be a great way to get many users constantly tweeting about BOINC, sort of like the thunderclap idea..
