аккаунт менеджер сносит все настройки боинка. подключённые проекты, и теде. если захотите венуть всё обратно придётся переподключаться ко всем проектам.
или восстановить из бакапа.


Precious little info out there that I've been able to find, but as near as I can tell this organization is not a charity as defined under the laws of the UK (Charities Act 2006), and would not be subject to any reporting/oversight that is typically required of a bona fide UK charity. While they appear to have set up some corporate governance with input from their participating charitable organizations, Charity Engine is a for profit organization.

Their business model goes something like this:

Leveraging the BOINC platform, entice people to join a network by offering cash lottery prizes
Sell the network's computing power at a price that undercuts all currently available commercial services
Pay the participating charities a 50% cut of the commercial sales
Pay a lottery winner(s) 42% of the commercial sales
Charity Engine keeps 8%

Charity Engine obtained VC funding, so they must believe that their 8% cut will generate enough cash for VC-level returns to their angel investors.

I gleaned the above info mostly from here and a forum thread where the Charity Engine CEO (Mark McAndrew) appears to have made a few posts - including this one.

How cool is this? Anil Singh, winner of our second test prize draw, has asked us to donate the cash value of his prize to Amnesty and CARE. What a gentleman!
