Very good question. I've asked myself that and others and its more of a hope situation than fact. No guarantees. Never been a good independent review of DC projects that I've ever seen. Look at WCG and the pay behind the top people and it would make any reasonable person wonder if its for real or for money. You'll also find some that will support DC no matter what the reality. I was major league into DC, in the top 25 in one project and it finally went belly up. Try to find what others are paid in some of these projects, you'll never find out. Does that mean they dont do good work or will eventually find a golden nugget? NO! But your playing the lotto with DC, it more hope, wishful thinking and just plane luck. Its not much of a price to pay for the small guy logging online a couple times a week, but its a big thing for those of us who had dedicated machines built just for DC and saw no results. The argument there is it takes time, maybe years or several years, to make progress. Those years have come and gone, maybe the cure is tomorrow, maybe decades, its a gamble and a good question you asked. Many don't because the die-hards flame you pretty good when you question the process. I'm still looking for a quality project that I think is close. Actually having a project find something real and the publicity would be a boon for DC, if it ever happens.
