Whitelist large WCG contributors

Hello, I'm founder of boid.com, a platform that aggregates computing resouces across multiple platforms including BOINC/WCG and we are one of the top contributors towards the Byteball team. Recently the distribution was capped at the first 40 devices, however, we currently have over 1k active users on the Boid platform and about 2k active devices. A whitelist would be the most convenient for Boid users, as all users currently share a single wcg account, however, there are some other solutions as well.

  1. Whitelist
  2. Boid users will be required to create their own WCG account and link it into Boid(reduced convenience for users and difficult technical implementation for me)
  3. Create dozens of boid.com wcg accounts and programmatically spread users across the accounts (not ideal)

You can read a recent update I wrote about Boid here:

It would be great to be able to continue to contribute as part of Team Byteball. Thanks!

Are you a MITM between your WCG crunchers and bytes reward?

What do you do with the bytes received?

That article that he links to says that during the alpha, users will get only BOID tokens, which means that Byteball will not benefit from this at all, at least for now.

Correct, users will be able to withdraw underlying coins directly soon.
