Curious about this...

Are there any tax advantages to doing something like this?

I’m a sys admin. I have a lot of server power that is mostly idle outside of normal business hours.

Possible I could convince my employer to participate - we probably have upwards of 100 pc’s worth of computing power available off hours. If there was a tax advantage, I’d have an easier time making the argument.

Chrisser, I’m not the person you addressed. I’ve never heard or read of any tax advantage to running Folding@Home. I realize that running these programs cost money in higher electrical use, especially if you are running video cards 24/7. You might want to check out the f@h boards or ask their admin directly.

There have been numerous scientific articles written based on the results. Advances have been made. Not looking for aliens here. Tell your boss it WILL, someday, save lives.....possibly their own.
