BOINC Introduction
</h2>

<img class="d-block mx-auto mb-5" src="/assets/img/boinc-logo.svg" alt="BOINC logo" style="width: 240px;">

<p>
BOINC&mdash;<a href="https://boinc.berkeley.edu/">The Berkeley Open
Infrastructure for Network Computing</a>, an open-source middleware
system, supports volunteer and grid computing. Originally developed to
support the SETI@home project, it became generalized as a platform for
other distributed applications in areas as diverse as mathematics,
linguistics, medicine, molecular biology, climatology, environmental
science, and astrophysics, among others. BOINC aims to enable researchers
to tap into the enormous processing resources of multiple personal
computers around the world.

You do not need to install or run BOINC in order to use GRC as a
cryptocurrency.

<div class="step-body">
<p>
You must install the BOINC client and select one or more BOINC
projects. Go to the <a href="https://boinc.berkeley.edu/">BOINC
website</a>, download and install BOINC for any computer that
you want to run BOINC on. The BOINC+VirtualBox package is
only needed if you choose projects that use VirtualBox.

<strong>Step 2.</strong> Choose Projects
</h3>

<div class="step-body">
<p>
To earn Gridcoin, you need to crunch <a href="/whitelist.htm">
whitelisted</a> BOINC projects.
</p>
<h4 class="h5">Project Selection Tips</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Choose projects with the least competition. Use
<a href="https://gridcoinstats.eu/">GridcoinStats</a> to
help identify such projects.
</li>
<li>
Select projects most compatible with your computer hardware.
Don't crunch GPU work with a CPU.
</li>
<li>
Verify that your projects have enough work available. You
don't want downtime while waiting for projects to generate
new work.
</li>
<li>
Have a backup project in case your primary project runs out
of work or goes down.
