Q. Curses GUI for BOINC
A. Yes, there is boinctui !
Its home page
https://code.google.com/archive/p/boinctui/
I downloaded the Fedora rpm from here
https://code.google.com/archive/p/boinctui/downloads
Its labelled Fedora 15 to 19 but it worked for me on Fedora 28.
Looks like it hasn't been updated since 2013. Maybe because its perfect ;)
Once downloaded, I installed it as root with
rpm -Uvh boinctui-2.2.1-0.fc19.x86_64.rpm
I then logged in as my BOINC user and did
export TERM=linux
boinctui
Using it is pretty self-explanatory.
I love this project.
