Been reading up on account managers to use with BOINC and two that came up most often were !BAM and Gridrepublic. Anybody able to provide input on which of those two (or perhaps a third) is the best overall account manager for BOINC? Thanks!

There is a third, which is now also available in the new BOINC Manager. It's the Spanish Extremadur@Home.

But as to which one is best, is in the eye of the beholder. Test them out, I would say.

Gridrepublic seemed a bit clumsy. Boincstats / !BAM seems more robust, although seeing as how I already manage all three of my computers with Boincview, I'm not sure if I really need an account manager at the moment.

What makes GridRepublic clumsy?
GridRepublic is working on a website overhaul due in the next month or so. I'd say check it out again later.

Too many clicks for simple things such as changing resource share on multiple projects at once, for instance.

For me: none at all.
