Crunching via BOINC is like donating to a charity, just, you donate your computing power and not directly money.
Bitcoin is different, this is not a charity, if you are losing money by mining then don't mine
Oh and i do BOINC, there are tons of awesome projects
www.worldcommunitygrid.orgHow odd. I was thinking of BOINC and botnet and bitcoin all mixed up together this morning, and wondered why not put bitcoin out on a voluntary net. Like botnet, only with permission.
