1) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Does Volunteer time = Tax credit? (Message 26686) Posted 13 Sep 2006 by Dirk Post: I was interested if there were any thoughts from users on claiming a portion of your hours crunching numbers for Rosetta as volunteer hours or as a tax-deductable donation to an NPO? Any creative CPA's on this board that want to chime in? My thought is that I paid for the computer, I pay the hydro bill, and I pay for the bandwidth. It's gotta be close to $200 of donation a year to an NPO. If questioned by the IRS, we all have handy dandy logs in the BOINC Manager showing our usage time.
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Using BOINC with no internet connection (Message 19132) Posted 22 Jun 2006 by Dirk Post: I have a number of machines in my workshop with no internet connection. i'd like to be able to download WU's for them and let them chunk away. Maybe i'll figure something out myself in the meantime. Anyway to remove the Boinc Icon altogether? Others in my house (wife) feel that I shouldn't "break" our computers over something silly. I want to run it with nothing visible in the GUI.
