Free BOINC credits for little effort :)
Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2016 10:11 pm
Hi all
There are a few BOINC projects where you can earn some credits that are pretty much "for free" as these are essentially non-computationally intensive tasks and use very little of your CPU power, but which earn you credits.
1st choice: http://nci.goofyxgridathome.net/ *UPDATED*
2nd choice: http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/
3rd choice: http://finance.gridcoin.us/finance/
Obviously, every little helps, so please join up (by cutting and pasting the above links into your BOINC Manager "add new project" tab) and add to your BOINC total for little effort or hassle. Make sure you join our Team too and then the team also benefits as well.
Also: You can add one, two or all three of these NCI projects and it will hardly affect your main crunching ability, as they all require very few CPU resources![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)
EDIT: A quick way of earning some extra credits, esp with the above projects is to invest £0 in a Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure account and rent some data processing "power" via their free trials. Once the trial is over, you can delete the account and it won't cost you a penny.
So, see the tips that follow to set these up![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)
