I have participated in BOINC projects for many years.  I don't recall when I started exactly, but at least 5-6 years ago and participated in many projects. The most recent one was Stop Childhood Cancer.

They recently took their server offline for an upgrade, so I paused for the time being.  I'm also considering doing a new PC upgrade/build to have way more horsepower.  My 8-core AMD 4.1Ghz has been great for 8+ years, but I'm doing so much on it these days.  Crypto mining, working remote using it, etc.  It is also my home DVR and was running BOINC.  So basically I keep it VERY busy. That is why I also need the extra AC unit in my office due to excessive heat.
