This package runs a BOINC client in your DAppNode, so you can use your spare CPU resources to help research on various scientific projects.
You can find a list of projects here. I will be using Rossetta as an example. For Rosetta, you can create an account here
Once logged in, you can copy your project key (look for Weak account key) from here.
Install and start BOINC in dappnode with the link: http://my.dappnode/#/installer/boinc.public.dappnode.eth
You can also can get a small daily payout if you link your World Community Grid account to OByte address. Current payout rate is set at $1.00 (in Bytes) for every 150,000 points. In addition, all your previous contribution stats will be saved in blockchain (as "WCG points" asset) and updated daily.
Also keep in mind that World Community Grid uses modified BOINC server and have a different point calculation rate (TL;DR: 7 WCG points = 1 "standard" BOINC point).
