Most everyone has heard of cryptocurrency mining at this point, but what are some of the lesser known cases where you can put your computing power to work? I have heard vaguely about "donating" processing power to NASA for some kind of research but I don't know many details.
Upon continuing to research some uses, I found this website : <a href="http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php" rel="nofollow">http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php</a> . It allows you to donate computing time to various scientific projects from around the world
