by me, cancer mining looks like a fake...no tutorial,no proofs,no in road map,no answers....more ppl on dicords starts talkin about it Huh

And your comments looks like FUD! Please do a little bit of homework first. There is a site called Google, ever heard of it? You can search and find much about the Rosetta project, e.g. recent publications in New York Times, Science, Nature.

Unfortunately the Rosetta@Home project is far from perfect. While Slovak's point is poorly made, the truth is that it is also known as a massive heat-generating project. It has come under fire whether or not the benefit outweighs the risk. Again it is not proper to ask "Who has a problem with mining for cancer?" I would think no one does. However, the Rosetta@Home project can be linked to energy consequences that despite its good intention is also an environmental offender. I am not sure why BiblePay is uniting with them in an all-or-nothing fashion. Presumably it is being designed as a "shield" to the botnet mining currently underway on the BBP network.

Securing the BBP network and its integrity should be the priority, not "mining for cancer" using an environmentally dubious project like Rosetta@home

I cannot think of a University that has more anti-Christian values than the Cal Berkeley system. BiblePay and Berkeley.edu are not just antithetical but it is a questionable decision to partner with them, in light of everything else Berkeley stands for (no matter how well-intentioned cancer mining can be portrayed as)

I am at a loss here but I hope these thoughts do not get shoved under the "FUD" carpet because these are actual legitimate issues to be weighed in the discussion.

Furthermore, I have personally spent time living in Berkeley, CA so I am not speaking from anything other than first-hand experience. There are spiritual implications of donating BBP cpu cycles to the project. We don't know to what extent those cycles are being used for cancer detection & modeling, vs. how much of that research is ported to Eugenics and epigenetic research. It is a very uncomfortable partnership the more you peel back the layers.

Well, i was reacting against Slovaks statement "cancer mining looks like a fake". For me that looks like FUD, i am myself participating in the World Community Grid and recently involved with the project "Help researchers smash childhood cancer", so i know grid computer processing to contribute to cancer research is for real, and is already connected to some crypto's like Curecoin and Gridcoin, so it is not fake. You have arguments from a different order, for me worth to study more carefully.

I agree and love the concept -- if it were above scrutiny. Understand the BOINC project is federally funded and operations have been transferred to Space/Science Lab @ UC Berkeley. National Science Foundation is the agency who (primarily) funds it.

Do your own research on the National Science Foundation & their mission. In 2011, a damaging report was released that accused the NSF of horrible mis-management of funds to the tune of $3 billion. There is so much alignment with anti-biblical efforts that it does not even pass the laugh test.

Here is a study where the foundation proudly proclaims Americans are less religious than ever before. Make no mistake, this study is not revealing truth so that ministers can be informed. The whole POINT of the study is so that liberal ideology can hang their hat on the fact that "religion is dead".
