Not at this point in time, but best place to keep up to date on our work is probably our newsletter https://thesciencecommons.substack.com/ You can also always sit in on our board meetings if you want to catch some more day-to-day (find them in our Discord). Got some BIG BOINC bounties completed recently around the Linux packaging issues. Thank you for your support :).
Ah yes thanks, but i registered for the newsletter a few month ago (twice later for testing) but i didnt get a single mail since then. Nice to hear about the completed bointies! Another topic: I send some coins from time to time, but it feels strange not to get any feedback about the transaction (in the case of crypto)... for example, if i wanted to donate in 5 years, i wouldnt know if the wallet address on the website was still active (one or two links on the website are also dead). Something like an automated board on the website which showed something like xxx coins or dollars donation at #time and date would be nice to have and would also help to show transparency i guess... Anyway i know you guys also have more important things to do... Thanks for your impressive work on the progress!
The newsletter only comes out every other month or so, and it only comes out when we have news to report so as to not bog down your inbox. We intend to publish our yearly accounting report each year at tax time showing how much money went to our various projects. The automated board would be great but would take development time away from our other priorities, and gets complex especially as we have multiple streams for donations (paypal, crypto, etc). I'd love to know about the dead links though we'll get those fixed asap. Thanks for your support!
Ah ok I understand :) A yearly accounting report would be nice to read when the time comes! Also i didnt know i could close the signup for newsletter popup to read the news history lol... I sent you the only dead link i found right now per PM
