(+ here also) But is is strange though : does it mean we would not attach to a dedicated project but to this "boinc central" stuff ? and therefore not be able to choose what we want to do ??

BOINC Central is just another BOINC project. You can attach to it and any other project you choose. ID: 112977 ·

With plenty of recents apps for all OS ! But nothing to crunch for indeed... So nothing to do with "sporadic apps". Thanks ! ID: 112991 ·
