The DrugDiscovery@Home project developer is Jack Schulz, who is also involved in Hydrogen@Home. It is a BOINC project and the BOINC@AUSTRALIA team was created by Dingo on 21 April. It is an alpha project and so is not likely to run without some problems. It is not currently accepting new accounts without an invite code, so it is not listed on boincstats but is listed on Free-DC.

If you wish to volunteer as an alpha tester before it is publicly available you would need to ask Dingo to ask for an invite code:
"We could use some more hosts. Team leaders, can you contact me for invite codes?" Jack Schulz 6/5/09

When a new project is created, our Team and my account are created.  When this project was created I could not log into it and therefor I forgot about it.   I get at least one email to say there is a new project every other month, sometimes more.

I have created the Board for the project and I will have a look when I get home from work today.

I have sorted out my account and attached one PC.  I noticed that one of the files was over 20 Mb when it downloaded the first work. 

I have asked for an invite code and I will put it in Members Only when I get it.  REMEMBER that this is still in the Alpha stage and there are still errors in the work units.

DD@H is now available on BOINStats and available through BAM!. Mundayweb will follow when Neil is back from his business trip. BOINC Synergy is still down, but I'll email Zain about having us added to their stats anyway.

Someone is trying to revive this project.

They've posted some info on the BOINC message boards ...
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=11043

I hope they're successful. We'll have to wait and see.

This project is running again.
It is issuing workunits again and is listed as an active project on BOINC Stats.
I've just joined our team and crunched my first workunit.

Thanks Daniel  :fingers that it works.  I have moved the board back to the active list.

EDIT:  Updated the page info and I have completed hundreds of tasks as they only run for a couple of minutes.

Good one Daniel....I have joined also to give it a go  :thanks1:

Looks like a worthwhile cause as well

Really like that a cuda app is coming very soon also

JugNut

Drug Discoveries now has badges..   :thumbsup:

And as mentioned has plans for GPU app  :thumbsup:

And is going to pay users to crunch there.  What the hey now???

The amount is yet undisclosed but they intend to pay users in Ethereum. Ethereum is an atltcoin similar to bitcoin and like bitcoin can be turned into hard cash.  If this is of interest all you need is a digital wallet.  https://boinc.drugdiscoveryathome.com/forum_thread.php?id=2081

The Admin suggests a digital wallet called "Ethereum wallet"
https://ethereum.org/

These are instructions the admin wrote on a Polish boinc team site.  Site is in Polish but easy to translate within your browser. http://www.boincatpoland.org/ethereum-drugdiscovery-poradnik/

Interesting concept that the admin says will be implemented very soon. There's already a section to put in your wallet details and they will give you test tokens until they have the bugs worked out. 

Maybe it's just the cynic in me but I wonder why? I mean the site is constantly running out of work so it seems there was no lack of crunching power to be had and that was for free.  Why all of a sudden does he decide to pay crunchers?
I hope it all works out as there's many crunchers could sorely do with some extra cash with the price of power being what it is.
Time will tell I guess?

Any thoughts?

Who knows, I am sure there will be some testers who will give it a go lol.

On another note, I think cause the workunits are shorter, there has been a credit adjustment done.

Oh well, last challenge on BOINCSTATS for this Project, everyone was crunching big numbers, now I think they have come back down to earth.

Oh well thats life.

Your right tazzduke I knew there was something I forgot to post about.  Yesterday I had a bit of a whinge on Drug Discovery forums about about the large downgrade in credit but not surprisingly I did not convince him to put it them back up again,  but I tried :(
