The time has come

I'm in the mood for a change since I been with F@H for over a year. I am in the mood for another DC client. I have some requirements though:

1. Stable

2. Profit isn't made from the direct results.

3. Good, understandable cause.

4. Easy to install and self managing. I have 3 computers that are ran through VNC and only have power and Ethernet running to them.

5. No Mini-Teams preferred. I just never got the idea of them. I feel user vs. user is more fun when it comes to stats. This isn't a requirement though.

I will do boinc but the more I read into it, the more it seems troublesome. Maybe I'm wrong. I prefer health related projects but might spread to other relms.

Simple, to-the-point, no profit, legitimate science, no WU's to download, well behaved client, small results upload, and lots of :beer:

I'm a fan of Find-A-Drug right now, the client is pretty good, don't know if it meets condition #2 tho. 🙁.

This is the main reason I haven't jumped on it by now. I feel if they make a profit from my use, then I need a share. 😉

Who benefits from the projects?

"Find-a-Drug operates on a not for profit basis. This means that all revenues (including any royalties from the sales of any resulting drugs) in excess of costs will be donated to research. "

Whoops. You forgot the part about ignoring everything in the way of input you asked for. :Q

Rabidjade, it may be off topic, but are you planning on putting NetDimes back on those computers? The RA has dropped participation to a single person, so there are no more mini-teams. Plus, you were really helping out the cause! Either way, Im happy with your participation in this great DC community.

I'm done with Dimes. I was having problems with it anyways and had to uninstall it on a few systems because it was crashing the network.

That looks like a cool project!

I got to go on a tour of SNS early this spring and it is some really amazing stuff going on. Even though this project is different they do share some similarities.

Figured this part out, doh!
