C*Net is a site that might be interest to you as well. They do a lot of interesting things with PBXs and Asterisk and Telephones in general.

Just to clarify, they are from the early days, but they are also from the now days. They are still publishing. A link to their official site is in the above Wikipedia article.

They are, but sadly, blowing a 2600 down the line these days just gives someone in the CO a chuckle when they read the logs, a week later.

Very cool. Link?

:D feel free to email me <will@distributive.network> if you want to chat about anything

not all (or even most) of them are profit ventures, like at all. There are some along those lines.

I do Asteroids at home, they need help figuring out the shape and size of asteroids. The data is published for public use.

For the majority of boinc projects its just citizen science, they results are published for free. No money is involved.

I donate my computer time (and corresponding electricity costs) to projects I believe in or find interesting.

Dude above said "electric bill", compute on older hardware is expensive. Modern hardware will be considered expensive in a few years too.

Anyone interested should also look into Gridcoin, you can get some crypto back in addition to doing some good science.

For a non-crypto alternative, check out Distributive DCP [1]. You deploy compute workloads which are executed in secure wasm sandboxes (even in your browser [2]). People computing get paid to compute other people's workloads.

+1 probably closest thing to a useful crypto you can find.

agreed, I am in general not a huge fan of Crypto.
