Re: What is your favourite WCG Project and why?

I am not sure about favorite, but I donate my time mostly to HCC. I think it is one of the best cause out there that WCG supports. I donate some of my time to other projects, but focus on HCC. When CEP2 comes out, I will also devote a big percentage of my time to that because I am a greenie.

I also like HCC, because my resources seem to be best suited for it. When I do the other projects I don't usually get full points, a lot of time I get 10-20% less. While with HCC I usually get + or -5% of what I ask for. This tells that most my systems perform better for HCC. My laptop seems to work good for all of the projects, so I devote it to HPF2.

Help Fight Childhood Cancer; a most worthy project and ran particularly smoothly.
Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy Phase 2 comes a close second for me. Of note is that it allows smaller systems to contribute with reasonable turnaround times.

Re: What is your favourite WCG Project and why?

1. HCC-because cancer sucks.
2. CEP2-because I want to be able to afford solar power before I die. (Preferably not from #1.)

So far, I've given all (fully) active projects 5+ years, so that is another goal.

Awesome post LOL

My favorite projects are those that I can select and get work for...

But right now I would love to work on CEP2 so I can keep burning up 700 to 800 Watts an hour.

If we could wipe out any of the diseases that WCG works on, that would be my favorite, til we do I'm crunching them all.

Re: What is your favourite WCG Project and why?

well i think every project has many good reasons why i am intrested in running them and i do run every project (and badge hunt) but to be honest to me HCC has special meaning to me

I am a cancer survivor mind you the cancer they are reserching here is not the type i had (thyroid cancer).

Once it hits you that you have it though its too late to think of lets find a cure ...

people who find out they have cancer normaly end up in 1 of 3 ways
1) late stage cancer and unable to get into remission
2) manage to get cancer into remission (Cancer Survivor)
3) are a cancer survivor for years then it comes back

so personaly i go for cancer cure and look for others as well
