Hi all
I just saw this on the DIscord BOINC Network channel:
It's been done before but we are making it official! The BOINC Census is an annual survey for anyone who knows about BOINC!
This census is being conducted by The Science Commons Initiative (
https://thesciencecommons.org/)
We do not collect any personal information in this survey. At the very worst, some broad demographic data is collected.
By completing this survey, you are actively supporting the BOINC ecosystem
Click here to start the Census

Some members might want to contribute to the survey?
regards
Tim
Thank you for the heads up, Tim!
This is my first post here, so you might consider this my introduction post also.
I completed the survey. At the very end in the suggestion part; I suggested they post about this Survey on the actual Manager client (via Notifications panel). I didn't even know this was a thing until I saw this post you wrote, and I put it down in the suggestion box as such! I will admit, I don't check the official BOINC forums.
Actually, I have been bossing it on PrimeGrid. Since the 8th of September - I've gone from about 3 Million credits in WW subproject to this day (10th Nov) sitting at 58,608,000.00 (4800+ tasks since I begun the project). I have made no discoveries so far, and only double checked a grand total of one GFN prime that was about 1.1 million digits long.
For now I am sticking to WW until it wraps up to try and hit Double Bronze before it ends. It's going to be
tight! I am also doing Extended Sierpinski Problem (LLR/cpu), and then GFN-20s (GPU) on that powerful Ryzen rig. I'll be sticking to GPU PPS-Sv and CPU on PPS-MEGA on the weaker rig (i5) whilst the android phone does Universe. I am aiming to discover Very large primes, even if it means virtually no discoveries.
Thanks for the heads up about the BOINC-census, and the previous team invite when I wrote you via Universe@Home private message I think it was (or MW@H)!
