Maybe update the Science and location preferences to include COVID-19 under Disease research in Biology and Medicine. So we can go ahead and manually select prefer, or if evil never.

I have received a few pm and friendship invites from PrimeGrid and Milkyway. I was wondering since SU created and is maintaining those accounts for me; How am I supposed to respond to them?

It would be nice if Science United Users had two Pools to choose from

  • Pool that invest nothing back into SU.
  • Pool that invest 20-100% back into SU. (Would really like this one where I can choose how much I want to throw into SU)

12) Message boards : Questions : Q about moving to Science United (Message 181)
Posted 22 Mar 2019 by Archie The Miserable-Rat
Post:
Science United currently monitors available projects with self created credentials. It is in essence a account manager/maintainer. I am not aware of any way to have it use previously created accounts.

Most likely if you wish to use Science United those states don't carry over. Since it seems to create its own accounts for use internally.

Reading this page kind of gives a clue of what they are trying to accomplish it is in a way different from BAM!

14) Message boards : Suggestions : Word Play. (Message 179)
Posted 22 Mar 2019 by Archie The Miserable-Rat
Post:
I would like for computing projects to be unable to directly use categorical words and instead have to use subcategories. Example look at project Distributed Hardware Evolution Project
It is labeled with the word "Mathematics and Computer Science". This is a PARENT for subcategories Cryptography and Number Theory. Which have nothing to do with the project listed. So if I wanted for that project to gain more weight, I would have to mark the whole category as priority then manually go back in and delist all the subcategories.

Right now this is not a big issue, however later on when there are more projects handling them will become a big pain if they ignore the purpose of subcategories and just attach them all the parent categories.

Also "Mathematics and Computer Science" should be two separate Parent Categories. Else why Not "Astronomy and Mathematics" or "Astronomy and Physics" or "Physics and Mathematics" or God forbid " Astronomy and Physics and Mathematics".

The only way the word AND should show up for any category is on the actual PROJECT pages. So an example project would have for its keywords AI and CYRPTO and CYBERSECURITY for a project that aims to train an AI for use in finding how 'safe' a cryptology method is for "storage" use.

18) Message boards : Suggestions : Simplifying Computing settings web page (Message 174)
Posted 18 Mar 2019 by Archie The Miserable-Rat
Post:
I am all for simplification, however there should always be an more "advanced" page for users who want to use such a thing (me). And using the configuration data from the advanced page you could easily figure out what plans would be best for simple.

For example using a majority of configuration data you could see that for a max power plan. A lot of people are expecting Setup A, rather then the current Setup B for X devices.

Post:
To see projects currently monitored by Science United go here https://scienceunited.org/su_prefs.php

In order to support all the projects just make sure none of the projects are set to 'Never'.

In order to support them equally set everything to 'As Needed'.

So far from what I have seen the only settings to control usage on the site is very basic. For exactly what you are wanting, it would be to type up a good idea under suggestions.
