https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/ The unlisted BOINC project ODLK 2025 has only 2 Tflops of current compute power running the project. That's by far the lowest I've seen for any project that always has work units available. So consider joining this project, instead of the big ones, if you wanna make your contribution feel more valuable. The ODLK, ODLK1, and Rakesearch project only have 6.6, 11, and 12 Tflops respectively, so these are also really worth joining if you really wanna make a difference. These projects also offer a rare chance to see a single Ryzen 9 or Threadripper move a project's global progress bar by a visible percentage every single day! |

This should have never been a separate project. The project scientist seems to have issues with every admin. |

Project Odlk1 Latin Squares seems to be struggling after the server upgrade as it is running with a Transitioner backlog of 67 hours, tasks taking at least 5 days to validate. One of my PC’s has phantom tasks allocated but they are definitely not on my PC. From reading about Boinc a Transitioner backlog of that magnitude is not good. |

The project admin is a serial project creator of small "projects" which are really just variations on a theme. Before joining any of these projects have a read of the project forums (requests for help are either ignored or flamed out by the project administrator) and don't just look at headline figures, poor as they are. |

Another small Project that could benefit from more volunteers would be the LODA project. After restarting and debugging a flaky Windows application they are running good with Credits and Badges but are only at about 2.8 TFlops In October 1969 I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; There was no expiration date.
