what made him regret it? I like the idea of donating my computing power to a cause I believe is worthy.

If I remember right he was using two r9 290's for his Boinc he told me about power bill going up and not having enough income out of it, he did it for a year I think. and he had his pc 24/7

Well, those are some real power hungry cards... and he did a 24/7. This was obviously going to happen.

Simply because WCG offers no support for GPUs (at the current moment).

 

But I know what you mean, I just managed to "install" (kinda) WCG on some of the University's pcs. Ohhhh, I can already see my medals coming......
