Be part of WCG and Donate your computing power towards a good cause while getting incentives.

Hey guys, if your computer or phone has some extra computing power, you can actually lend that towards researches for World Community Grid.
You can get more info from their blog here: Byteball World Community Grid Distribution Is Back On Track.
Here's how you can be a part of this project:
- Open your Byteball app.
- Go to Chat on the bottom-right corner then the Bot Store then look for "World Community Grid linking bot":
- You can read some info about the bot there too:
Donate your device’s spare computing power to help scientists solve the world’s biggest problems in health and sustainability, and earn some Bytes in the meantime. This bot allows you to link your Byteball address and WCG account in order to receive daily rewards for your contribution to WCG computations.
WCG is an IBM sponsored project, more info at https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org
- Then just hit on "Open Chat" and wait for the Bot to ask for your language:
- It will ask you to register on WCG's site with a unique username:
You can try using my referral link as well. - Once done, you have to link your account:
- Once linked, just follow its instruction to send your address:
- Then you're done!
- All you have to do next is run the WCG app either on your Phone or Desktop and let it run its works and solve world problems.
Here's their previous blog about this: Computing For Good (Again)
I don't have any update if the payment of $1 worth of Bytes per 100,000 pts in WCG is worth it. I'll give you an update about that.
Thanks for reading my blog!

This sounds pretty cool :) Is it anything like farming, or what services like storj offer?
I don't really know what Storj is. WCG doesn't actually pay you to do things, it's like a CPU/GPU charity. Byteball just happens to give some incentives to those who'd like to be a part of WCG.
I see. Storj is one of those things where you can rent out your extra hard drive space in exchange for ETH.
Cool, I looked it up and joined their waitlist, just in case. :D Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, their waiting list has been up forever! As long as you have plenty of storage, a good wifi signal, and are willing to have your computer run constantly you're good to go! You're welcome Dev. It's the least I could do since you've helped me :)
