[Guest Johnny5g]

hello i am wanting to try boinc so i downloaded it. now starting it up i don't know what project to do. do you have any suggestions? thanks!

Just pick one from here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php

 

Read up on them and pick one that interests you and that you would like to devote your processing power to! 

It also says on that list what kind of devices are supported for each project.

Well as far as I know (This is how I've been doing it) you have to do it for each project you join individually! 

 

After you join a project and enter your username/password and all that it will automatically open up in your browser the sites page, from there it will ask you your name and everything, then there will be a box to search for a team, just search LinusTechTips_Team and it should come up, or even just LinusTech will do probably. Click that, click join team, and done

 

Then when you go to your projects page you should see this box on the right: 

That will just confirm that you are part of the team for that project. If it doesn't show LinusTechTips_Team, it will give you the option to join a team there instead.

it didn't come up.

[o0Martin]

it didn't come up.

 

What didn't? o: 

 

When you are done making your account for the project it should give you this:

 

Then after you click finish it should go to something asking for your name/country/Zipcode (Which you don't need to type in)

 

Then you click OK, then after that it takes you to another page called, 'Find a team' that looks similar to this: 

You search LinusTechTips in the keywords bit, leave the rest blank and it should come up with the team name, then you click on it and somewhere on that page will be the 'Join this team' button, or something similar. Like shown below

 

Hopefully that somewhat helps! 

 

If you already joined the project but not the team, then just go to your projects home/account page, and you can join it there, like I said in the other post, on the right there will be a 'Member of team' tab that will let you join a team

look at setting under that project, it should bring you to a website, the one you signedup for that project on, it should be there

Prime grid, colltaz, einstein at home.

Strange, I can't seem to search for the team with that project either, maybe there just hasn't been one created for it yet, which is possible if it's a new project I guess. (Because I think it needs to be created for each project individually.)

 

where are the settings?

 

The Project Web pages listed in the advanced viewer when you select your specific project, I think that's what he's referring to

ok thanks!

[o0Martin]

Yeah I don't think one is made for that project, it seems even if you look through all the Canadian teams LinusTechTips isn't there. Maybe @alpenwasser knows, or can make one.
