I have 4 core 4GHz PC, running only on 25% CPU power (default is 60% for PCs) on a background and it got me $0.20 for yesterday. I don't know if it is now profitable and I could run it using more CPU power, but then I think it will use even more electricity and make more noise. It is mainly for those who already do it for free on WCG, but now they get reward in Bytes.
I have 5 lucky 16c that really aren't doing to much and two newer models, The luckys seem to have a 1.2 ghz dual core. I installed the app on one of the luckys to test the waters. I am not sure how much of the cpu gets eaten up by the OS, but it easily could be a lot better than what they are doing now. If I ever get the statistics I'll update.
I don't like that the android app wanted the screen off; I would like to know if the wifi dc'd.
Cool, definitely let me know when you get stats for full day (WCG counts a points twice a day based on UTC, Byteball does payouts randomly), it would be interesting to know.
I haven't tried to get WCG working on a phone, what does the WCG results page say? Some researchers wait for some other device result too and then give points, until then it says pending.
Originally the project I signed up for (cancer markers) on my pc-cancer markers didn't work on the android. Yesterday I expanded it to childhood cancers, and a bunch of math ones. Apparently there were only 3 projects available that recorded any progress for the old phone (childhood cancer wasn't one of them), as I found out after I force quit and reloaded the boinc software and it showed the progress. They were only about 15% done with each of the 3 projects. So the device having never completed a full task, didn't have anything to report on the main website.
Yeah, the task need to be fully completed, also watch out for some projects who give very big tasks and very short deadlines because they can abort your work if you don't complete it by the deadline.
I think "Microbiome Immunity Project" and "FightAIDS@Home - Phase 2" become valid and awarded with points right away after they are reported, but "FightAIDS@Home - Phase 2" tasks take longer time to complete and are with very short deadline.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong with my lg lucky, no stats appear. I'll try a different phone maybe in the morning.

I figured out what was going on.
