PiFM VS boinc

https://github.com/MundeepL/PiFM -

I dont know if this is the subreddit for this, but I've been having issues with trying to broadcast with my Pi 4 using this extension. Every time I try to broadcast a custom .wav file it wont work and when I broadcast the audio files that come with the extension it passes without error but it just doesn't put out anything. I don't have a lot of experience with this sort of stuff, and this whole radio experiment was the main reason I bought my Pi 4. Is there something I'm missing? Is the extension outdated? I have an antenna for the Pi but it should work just using the gpio pin itself. Help!

The only way I can foresee a cryptocoin actually holding value is if spending the coin meant spending processing cycles and RAM doing things like this:

But in more general sense, less like https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ and more like AWS...

It's the only way to have value, actually holding computing power in a distributed network.

Made me think of Gridcoin and BOINC https://boinc.berkeley.edu/

The BOINC Census is back for another year! BOINC is an open source software and network for volunteer computing. People can use it do donate their CPU/GPU power to various scientific research areas like cancer, drug discovery, mapping the galaxy, and more.

A few years back, I was in a similar situation and found BOINC(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) to be a great way to contribute. It's a platform that lets you support various scientific research projects by sharing your computational power and bandwidth. However, it's worth noting that BOINC might tends to be more CPU/GPU intensive rather than bandwidth-heavy

Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC)

Has a unified management experience with the ability to subscribe to various projects, and set priorities/schedules for work units.

Probably BOINC (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) could be a good solution for you. You can write me a DM, and I could help you to clarify is this something that could help you with your research. By default, to run your computations on BOINC you need to create a server, but we can deal with that and run your research on our own server first, so this could help you to start faster, and then later decide if you need a separate server. And yes - it's totally free.
