IBM World Community Grid (Humanitarian Research Projects)

Maybe too late, but I was just joining it 😎 
Referrer: Nihlaeth. 
Platform BOINC.
Short explanation:

"When you become a World Community Grid volunteer, you donate your device’s spare computing power to help scientists solve the world’s biggest problems in health and sustainability. Since 2004."

Soft-hearted? Wanna join? Link is in the widget..

Dark side? 

Why? 😥
Apologize but my first impression it's a bit arrogant. Sounds like IBM thinks they knew everything.
But my alarm was apparently ringing on a false positive.
I asked them, here is the reply:

"World Community Grid does not solicit research to run. 
Research organizations contact World Community Grid if they are interested in potentially running their research on World Community Grid. 
If you know of a research organization that may benefit from the computing power of World Community Grid, please send them this link:"
