Yeah, I genuinely believe it's a great way to bring more attention to the World Community Grid project. Having people help science without doing anything but installing a client is really a huge potential for humanity in general.
The rewards from Byteball isn't that much, but hopefully it will at least bring attention to the project. People shouldn't do this to get rich but to support a very important initiative.
Seeing the progress done in cancer research in just the past 2-3 years is flabbergasting. There's been HUGE advances made, and there's no sign the advances are slowing down. Further helping research will bring even more good results in the fight against a variety of diseases.
I genuinely believe this is such an important thing, that hardware vendors should seriously consider providing laptops and PCs with pre-installed WCG clients. It would be a massive step forward.
excellent !
Soooo... is an anyone working on more up to date help files? wiki? How about something about how often the Byteball clients updates is self and gets updates from WCG? There is a real need to put more information out for people interested.
Also, why can I not find a proper guide for installing the Ubuntu/Linux version? it's a royal pain with out a guide for someone who has not got the time to learn about compiling and dependencies, etc.
Hope you guys can help us out here!!
