I noticed we had a Einstein@Home team, but could not find any other Hypography teams in the other distributed computing projects that exists, so I took the liberty of starting quite a few teams in the name of Hypography.
This first post will be updated to reflect the current projects we are members of.

What is distributed computing?
Read the Wikipedia entry for distributed computing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing

How can I contribute?
Instructions can be found here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/participate.php

Latest development version of Boinc (beta version, may be unstable):
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.p...sion=5.0&dev=1

How can I join the Hypography team?
First, attach to a project, as described in the link in the "How can I contribute" section.
When you are a member of a project, go to the Hypography join page for the project listed under.

What is in it for me?
- The knowledge that your idle computing time is used for research that can be beneficial for mankind
- Friendly competition between other distributed computing users/teams about ranks and credits, based on how much work your computer(s) do.
- opportunity to be credited in scientific publications (for some of the projects at least)
- learning more about the science behind the projects

How can I see my statistics?

There are many servers that provide combined statistics for BOINC projects. One of the best in my opinion, is Boincstats.

Here you can search for team names or user names and get their individual statistics both combined, and on individual projects.
