Boinc only node

There's a docker image available for Boinc only as well : https://github.com/Minuntu/docker-nvidia-boinc

If you add any project to a solo image through your account manager, make sure you also enable your project for your gridcoin+boinc node, otherwise gridcoin won't detect ( and pay you ) for it.

You can tick the "No new work" option in the project configuration if you don't want your boinc master to crunch data for a specific project but still detect it.
