Introducing Boid, the social supercomputer, which empowers people to advance frontiers of science and establish collective social truths for a better tomorrow while earning valuable Digital Currencies!
The Boid is a Social Supercomputer, which empowers people to advance scientific frontiers and establish collective social truths for building efficient and corruption-free societies while earning valuable Digital Currencies. The Boid weaves together computing resources of community members for leading-edge discoveries in medicine, science, and humanities. It will lead to the cure for many dreadful diseases that afflict humanity, such as, Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer, Parkinson’s, Ebola, Zika, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, etc. The Boid can also be used for making path-breaking discoveries in astronomy, physical sciences, natural sciences, economics, social psychology, and humanities.
The Boid members can also use their computers to verify information and build trustworthy public data repositories and earn valuable Digital Currencies. Such trustworthy data repositories will empower people to cooperate with others whom they don’t know yet or trust. The trustworthy data repositories will allow people to discover new innovative ways of collaboration and hold their corporations, institutions, and governments accountable. In summary, these repositories of ‘Social Truths’ will lead to highly efficient economies and transparent, corruption-free societies around the world.
The Boid accomplishes the above two noble missions of ‘Social Service’ and ‘Social Truths’ by building purpose-driven communities of committed members. Each community is built around a clear and measurable ‘Purpose’, which holds a deep meaning for members. Each community is led by a pro-active ‘Leader’ who is committed to the cause, sets the community targets and agenda, and keeps the members engaged. To build the bonds of camaraderie, members are encouraged to share their motivations and stories on community forum. The Boid will regularly inform community members about the challenges, measureable metrics, and benefits of their contributions. The platform will create an engaging experience by keeping track of Scores, updating Leaderboards, and awarding Honor Badges to winning teams and community members.
How Boid works?
The Boid connects together the unused computing, gaming, storage, and networking resources of community members to build powerful supercomputers. With the latest desktop computers offering teraflops of computing power, the problem-solving capabilities of such distributed supercomputers are immeasurable. The Boid’s mission is to channel this unused capacity for productive purposes.
The Boid is a team oriented platform. New members often get invited by current committed Leaders or members. In the beginning, new members join an existing team and contribute computing resources for success of team projects. Team members can also pool their resources together to complete a complex task. Members also earn reward points for inviting new committed members. Once they have invited 100 new members, they earn the right to become a Leader and create their own team to start their favorite projects.
