RE: Defending “Moo! Wrapper” & “Distributed.net”

[guk]

Good point, I accept it and it is a valid point. Thank You.

I would say though that gives you the theoretical time to crack, this project gives you an applied proof of that theory and is a great tool to demonstrate and benchmark just what the realistic compute power is required for even simple bit lengths with contemporary hardware.

This article was an attempt to answer the biggest complaint I have heard about Moo! Wrapper, I have also outlined several other concerns over on the official CCT thread.

1. The question as presented is not fair and is leading the voter.

This is a very good point regarding voting process.

Good thing about Moo!-gate is that it clearly shows we lack several policies and criteria for decision making. Apart of technical criteria you have covered in your whitelist-greylist proposal, non technical once are also needed.
If the project complies with technical requirements:

• should any project run on BOINC platform be eligible to be whitelisted? (It's just a software solution, thousands of projects could be created)
• is scientific purpose a requirement?
• is usefulness required? (How can we be sure about our judgement on usefulness?)
• if other methods allow to find solution quickly or solution is known, should the project using non-effective methods be incorporated into Gridcoin Network?
• .........

If you want to make sure your say is recorded, I would appreciate if you post it here:

I split the de-listing out of the current proposal as it obviously needed more work with the current controversy.
