FindTheMag is a powerful tool which for getting stats from your BOINC client. It is open source and runs on Linux/MacOS/Windows. This version is pretty much a top-down rewrite of all the code.

It will show you things like credit/hr for each project, which can be helpful for figuring out which of your crunching rigs is most efficient at which project. You can also use it to resume/suspend BOINC based on room temperature. This tool is mainly used by Gridcoin crunchers to find the most profitable project, but even if you just use BOINC it's a good stats tool to have in your arsenal.

This new release comes with a number of enhancements and all existing users are encouraged to upgrade.

Changes:

• Massive stability improvements, particularly when communicating with BOINC client. This should eliminate pretty much every crash condition encountered by FTM 2 users.
• Fix a number of bugs in stats calculation and output
• Table printed to user is now more useful and you can customize various aspects of it

FindTheMag is a powerful tool which helps you find the most profitable BOINC projects to mine/crunch. It is open source and runs on Linux/MacOS/Windows. FTM can also directly control your BOINC !boinc@sopuli.xyz client, giving you more control over the crunching process than BOINC typically gives you.

Context: Gridcoin !gridcoin@lemmy.ml is a CPU and GPU-mineable cryptocurrency which has you process data for scientific research projects instead of calculating hashes. Finding the most profitable BOINC project can be tricky because every BOINC project awards credit differently, all hardware achieve different levels of efficiency on each project, and you must calculate the credit:magnitude ratio for any given project. Gridcoin is the most ASIC-resistant coin in existence.
