Is there a certainty that they can't use that program to spy on your computer? Is Stanford not run by the government or reports to them?

Stanford is a private university; the government is ultimately in charge of school accreditation. A lot of the people who use this program are uber-nerds who would probably be able to detect such an event. The program sends specific information between the Stanford Servers. Installing any program on your computer can make it less secure, including your operating system, but I don't think you have much to worry about. I don't have any concerns in this area.

Isn't a better idea to make all that computing power to mine bitcoins, then donate to campaign?

 

[specialkornflake]

Good work guys! Keep it up in my computing absence!

Top 900 congrats! With the Ron Paul campaign changing this could mean some energy directed this way!

 

[specialkornflake]

Congrats the team has amassed over 10 million points!

Regardless of the status of the RP presidential campaign I think this is a great charity thing to do. Perhaps we start again under a new name or something, but I'd love to see RPF still help in this matter. (And keep growing the amount we help!)

 

[specialkornflake]

Since I'm hiking the AT now I don't have the ability to get this restarted but when I return I'll see about getting something set up again if someone else doesn't do it first!

We're actually about to break top 800 for the group, that's pretty cool!
