    the way i read things, if you don't turn in a WU in 3 years, they'll delete your account/username? not sure if this is new or not. before this Jan, i hadn't done DC in like 5+ years since i didn't have the room to run a lot of hot computers. i hope i'm misunderstanding this somehow...

    Ouch... the GDPR is reaching Distributed Computing

    I understand data privacy is a concern these days, as somewhere some company is being hacked every day of the year, all year round. But it's going to suck if we can't get our stats.
