On b my understanding is the project would not be controlled by boinc (Berkeley) but by the original people running the project. There should be no decrease in accuracy. Also boinc projects are sometimes serious scientific endeavors so accuracy is extremely important, do you have any reason to suspect a boinc project is returning inaccurate results because it's used by boinc? I also suspect you could continue to run the stand alone client as a few projects did that for a while so basically you could choose the current style of client or boinc. So I see no reason for people to leave if boinc was used. The (minimal) gains vs the work involved is the only show stopper I see. _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
