I think we can easily move up if we get some more members to join in. We seem to be moving down in the rankings right now though.

Yes we are, slowly but steadily.
We are right on the virge of breaking 1 million on the credits either later tonight or tomorrow.

Yeah, we need another "recruiting drive" to build this up. I am hoping to get a new motherboard and processor at home which will hopefully run cooler (looking at a dual core Pentium 4) than my current hot setup.

Maybe you should post invitation in more sections on this forum. After all, this forum is full of people ready to participate, I know that. They just have to find out for this project and voila.

Nice to have you aboard! I would like to post more invitations but I also don't want to overwhelm the board with requests. Maybe I will post another invite though...

Has anyone thought of having a sub-board for BOINC related projects, that way people could actually have direct access to threads in one place, and in effect gain more people onto the team? 
BTW, I'm just heading over to Einstein to join CN and contribute my 11,000 worth of credit

That's actually a good idea. I think there are a few CN teams out there for various BOINC things. Anyone else have any feelings about a special board?

Might be hard to get other opinions for it, this forum doesn't exactly pop out as BOINC  That's exactly why it would be nice to have one that does I think I'll write one of the mods to see...

I'm mergin this thread and the BOINC thread as a housekeeping measure and to keep them sticky.

Thanks Matt for allowing that thread to be sticky for a while, and thanks for merging it into this thread. Now we must work on recruiting people, whether it be for Einstein or for Seti or any other BOINC project. Would an email to CN members inviting them to take a look at BOINC projects for their idle machines be feasible?

Good question Stefan.
I think that anyone that leaves their PC on in standby mode 24/7 might as well put that otherwise wasted electricity to work furthering these important Scientific BOINC projects.

Remember the English teacher said, "I before E, except after C."
When Einstein was at Princeton, he was seen going to a movie on campus.
The movie was entitled, "The Crawling Eye."
Ask me how I know this.

I think I'm afraid to ask.
Why those Germans made names just to defy English spelling rules is beyond me.

So true, although some will argue that 100% use will result in higher electrical bill, but the scientific knowledge really should outweight that cost

Re: Einstein @ Princeton
When I was warming a desk at good ole IIT in Chicago, Prof. Frederick Ernst, joked about it.
This prof wrote Fortran programs to calculate Quantum Mechanics problems. Gee Whiz!!!!!!!

I just read an article about how Play Station 3 owners can use thier idle machine to participate in a project called folding@home. I wonder if einstein@home will introduce the same functionality for PS3. The PS3 has some serious power. IBM is using the same chip in their new supercomputer for the department of energy. That computer is supposed to reach speeds of a petaflop per second, or 1,000 trillion calculations per second. I think if einstein@home updated their application for PS3 usage, it would really make a difference. Not that I don’t think that the folding@home project is not a good program, I just prefer to help science in a different way.
Personally I don’t see myself getting a PS3 anytime soon. But it does look like a great system that I might consider someday. Plus if I can run Einstein@home on it that would be an extra bonus.
