They have a Github repository, I'm unsure how up to date it is but at least you can do some tinkering and testing.

Good luck with your project

I've been cranking out NumberFields and Asteroids GPU WU. The reason I'm doing NumberFields is that they are no longer being funded and will have to shutdown the project if there are any hardware failures. So I'd love to see the project completed by that time.

When it comes to Asteroids I love crunching space based projects. I started BOINC with SkynetProject and I will continue to focus on space based projects

I have a HPC that I use for work, gaming and other leisure activities. I often have BOINC running in the background as I have excess CPU/GPU power that I'm more than happy to use for crunching scientific aspirations.

I also have an Asus Tinkerboard (SOC Raspberry Pi device) and a server that I use as a home lab. Again I crunch with these with the excess CPU cycles. I've also installed BOINC on my mum's computer as she doesn't need four cores for playing solitaire and reading emails.

My point is that I crunch with excess cycles. If I was trying to make money I'd connect with Gridcoin or just mine Monero. I do this more as a hobby or offhand task, I don't go out of my way to rack up an energy bill.

This is fun and while it's gamified and has competitions it doesn't make sense to crunch as if it's your job and the world depends on it. If you are only in it for the points there are plenty of other projects that you can focus on. I prefer space based BOINC projects.

Usually these BOINC projects are under funded and require volunteers to maintain software code and hardware, not just crunching WU. If they had money they sure wouldn't be using BOINC. Look at SkynetProject or Microbiome Immunity Project. Both got large government grants and access to super computers so they shut down their use of BOINC. You are more than welcome to assist with optimisation of their code so that it will work better with new nVidia cards. BOINC projects always always want assistance from professionals

Wow that was long and I could have kept going...
