The team here at PCReview are doing sterling crunching for the WCG. It seems that our efforts are of great interest to the general public. If you follow the link below
https://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/crunchers-corner.310/
you will see that over one thousand folk have looked at the threads. Several of the threads, admittedly a couple of years old generated interest in over two thousand folk.
It is obvious why, for the WCG does very valuable work in the cancer field and other important medical research fields.
What is puzzling is why on a almost regular basis nearly three hundred folk look at the Daily Statistics for the team.

Is crunching such a competitive task ?
Why on earth would you look at dull statistics if you are not involved in the effort ?
People are very strange they will spend time and effort reading about a very important and possibly life saving scheme but will not make the small effort needed to join in and help.
What a sad and sorry state of affairs. Especially sad when it is almost certain that every reader of those dry and dusty results knows someone with cancer.
For my part I am glad to help out in my own small way. I do not expect any medals or rewards other than hopefully finding new and effective ways to treat cancers and other diseases.
I am a pensioner living of a basic state pension and I do not begrudge the few pennies a day that my crunching efforts cost.
My rigg runs 24/7 apart from a few hours here and there when I turn crunching off temporarily to play some very demanding game. I have the crunching program running at 50% the rest of the time and it does not impact in any detrimental way with my daily net surfing, video streaming or any of the other tasks I do with my pc.
If every computer user in the UK and the rest of the world set their pc to crunch at 10% of its cpu output then important discoveries could be made in days or weeks instead of years or decades.
People will exert a great deal of hot air and effort reading and talking about changing the world but will not invest that same amount of effort or a great deal less in taking direct action that will show results.
As I said a sad and sorry state of affairs.
So if you have read this far and you do not belong to a crunching team you have a choice.
Carry on being a sad do nothing but lets create a committee to look into things and waste loads of effort and energy but accomplish nothing type.
Or you could be a lets spend a small amount of energy and effort in getting your pc crunching and doing something really important and valuable type.
You choose.
