A lot more computing resource will be made easily available with the features for BOINC and the cross-project interest generated for/by BOINC.

s@h 'classic' is just one way to look at the data tapes that they have. BOINC lets you easily have multiple clients to look at that data in different ways.

And there's enough people watching and scrutinising BOINC to notice any deviousness very quickly. Such is the very positive way of (informal) peer review in Open Source, and indeed in Science in general.

Don't be put off by the early server hiccups. A lot of development work has been done very rapidly to 'shake down' the bottlenecks in the system.
