Will get straight to the point, been using Boid PC application for some months now & I would like to convey that the Boid application is very stable, easy to install and to get it up & running. The Boid application doesn't require any day to day maintenance/bug fixes or updates, this saves time and efforts. One last thing, the Boid Team is very professional and the queries are answered within minutes. I am happy to be a part of Boid community. Thank you Boid Team & I wish you good luck for this project :)

Continue doing what you are doing and I’m convinced the community will follow the vision BOID has laid out.

Pros:

BOID: 1. Helps the world 2. Has a good team 3. Make many improvements every day 4. Is user friendly 5. Makes you feel good!!

Cons:

Even though BOID is user friendly compare to other crypto, for mass adaption it needs more. BOID is getting closer to that every day.

Very much looking forward to more Boid developments.

Pros:

Amazing networking ability powered by EOS!

Cons:

Satellite isp is not conducive to the bandwidth needs of Boid, so can't use it in my current location.

The token value should not be your sole incentive as there are easier ways to make a profit, this is all about accelerating the rate at which this kind of research can be done and raising awareness of both practical uses of blockchain technology, but also the amount of spare computing power that sits unused in many peoples homes and putting it to positive use. Be warned though, this is also highly addictive as there is a points based system and you can accumulate more through running on multiple machines. Avoid installing it on your friends computers when they are not looking and maxing their CPU to 100%, ...use what you can spare, 50-60% of your CPU will not have any noticeable effect on your computers day to day usage and performance.

SETI@home, Mersenne prime search (GIMPS), BOINC - the success stories of bringing together people to contribute and pool their resources to achieve a goal that would not be otherwise possible. BOID is the next step. A working prototype and a start of a new distributed volunteer community has been created. It has the potential to revolutionize distributed computing and achieve goals well beyond any that have been achieved before.

The folks over at boid have been a great term to work with, and have been early adopters of our technology from the beginning (tipit.io). Nothing but great things to say about the team and vision. Good people working on good tech, which can be hard to find in the fray of people trying to cash out on crypto-currencies as opposed to lifting each other up. A+
