Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

I made a tool to make it easier to heat your home with BOINC (like Folding@home).
This tool isn't price-sensitive but it could certainly be expanded to include such information if you wanted. I do make another tool https://github.com/makeasnek/FindTheMag, version two of that which should be released in the next month does pull price data about Gridcoin ( a coin that can be earned using BOINC ) and control crunching based on that, and it has this BOINCThermostat function built in as well.

What happened to QUICKMAG.ml?
Idk but there's always FindTheMag https://github.com/makeasnek/FindTheMag

Magnitude question....
Magnitude can vary quite greatly between projects, FindTheMag can show you your magnitude/hour on each project you're crunching. If all your crunching is under the same e-mail address and that e-mail has a beacon associated with it, there is no way the magnitude awarded is wrong.

Gridcoin is the most profitable coin to "mine" with a GPU
Quickmag can give you an estimate of what you might make with various hardware, rarer cards have wider ranges in terms of estimate accuracy. FindTheMag is good for finding actual performance/profitability per project on your specific hardware.

Gridcoin Mining/Crunching Guide and FAQ 2022
You can get a rough estimate of what you might earn with your CPU/GPU combination using Quickmag. Note that Quickmag is unable to list all projects due to some projects not exporting the correct kind of stats. If you are solo crunching and have been crunching for more than a week, you can also use FindTheMag to get suggestions based on your machine's actual performance.

New to Gridcoin? Get started here! (FAQ 2022 Edition)
Crunching: You can crunch with any computer (Mac, PC, or Linux). To get started crunching and earn your first GRC, we strongly suggest pool mining as it is the simplest way to get started. In short, you must create an account at a pool, choose which scientific research you want to participate in, download the BOINC software, and connect BOINC to the pool. After a few days, you can withdraw your GRC to your GRC wallet. You can use Quickmag to estimate how much GRC per day you can earn with your hardware, and FindTheMag to optimize your crunching (non-pool crunchers only) once you've been crunching for a week or two.
-
Reminder: Want to optimize your crunching? There's a tool for that, well two actually
FindTheMag will pull stats from your own BOINC client so it's machine-specific, and mag stats from your Gridcoin wallet, and it will tell you the mag/hr you earn for each project. It will also suggest BOINC resource share (project weight) so you can dedicate a certain percent of your time to "mining projects" vs "passion projects" depending on how much you care about how much GRC you get.

Welcome to BOINC4Science - Getting started guide and FAQ 2023
This means that crunching in winter, depending on your setup, may be low cost or even free. If you have electric resistive heating in your home (space heaters, baseboards, ceiling/floor heat), it is equally efficient to heat your room with a computer. As long as your thermostat is turning on the heat regularly, you are not spending any money on crunching if you assume you'd have to pay for the heat anyways. Your thermostat just has to spend 90W less to get your space to the same temperature. There's even a tool to control BOINC based on room temperature.
- I heat my home with BOINC/Folding@home and made a script to tie it to a thermostat
-
Has anyone ever tied there homelab into a thermostat? (Serious post)
Yes, and I even wrote a python script to help with it. In winter, 100% of my indoor heating comes from BOINC and folding @ home. My rigs start/stop their BOINC work based on ambient air temp.

I even wrote a script to control mining based on data from a smart thermostat so you can set the room to a particular temp https://github.com/makeasnek/BOINCThermostat

FindTheMag v2.0 is released - BOINC stats tool
Welcome back to BOINC :). The 5% processing power is only if you use FTM to control boinc, if you just want to see pretty stats and have it suggest project weights, that is free. If you only want the temp control function, I have a separate tool for that which has no dev fee and works the same: https://github.com/makeasnek/BOINCThermostat
