I was asking in general. I remembered something about a similar project a few years ago (not with recent technology of course) and that project never produced a valid result, due to a failure in the underlying software.

But this project really sounds awesome.

Oh wait, you are talking about Gridcoin instead of my own research! My bad. There are hundreds of papers and research outputs made through BOINC, which is the research platform Gridcoin is built to reward. BOINC has existed for about 2 decades already, and is 100% functional. Here is an exhaustive list of publications.

Some key achievements:

  • Did the numerical analysis to prove that the Milky Way is corrugated instead of flat
  • Identitifed numerous new cancer markers
  • Decoded WWII Enigma messages that remained unbroken
  • Continues to develop numerous new drugs
  • Is working on a Zika vaccine
  • and a LOT more.

The coolest thing is that users are told what they discovered, and recognised for their contributions. For example, @vortac found a new pulsar near the galactic core in 2011 and got published for it. @deltik recently found a new super prime.

Above is a great snapshot that should be sent out as a press release to promote Gridcoin and this new awesome website.
