About Gridcoin:
Gridcoin (Ticker: GRC) is a decentralized, open source math-based digital asset (cryptocurrency), kind of like Bitcoin, but also very different. Gridcoin was the first digital currency that delivered a working algorithm that equally rewards BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) scientific work.

Gridcoin came into existence in 2013. Since then, team Gridcoin has become the top Boinc team in the entire world, doing close to 200,000,000 credits in daily scientific work, spread out over 30+ Boinc projects:

How does Gridcoin actually work?
This video by RTMoney describes several mining algorithms and how Gridcoin operates:

What is the purpose of this campaign?

The purpose of this Thunderclap campaign is to raise awareness about BOINC scientific computing and digital currencies like Gridcoin, which gives volunteers and newcomers a monetary incentive to contribute to science with hardware at their disposal.

Boinc computing uses up sizable amounts of electricity on a monthly basis and generous volunteers across the world usually pay for this cost from their own pockets. Gridcoin provides a way for Boinc volunteers to recoup their monthly power costs and be part of a growing and exciting digital economy.

You can join the Gridcoin Thunderclap campaign with your Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr account. The campaign needs to gather 100 supporters by September 24, which is 12 days away. Join today and let the world know about the importance of volunteer scientific computing and digital currencies like Gridcoin that support it.

I am wondering why people in the cryptosphere do not support fully a project such as this. This is helping scientists solve problems and find solutions and yet no one is really interested in it. We do not see it in the news and the value of the coin is low and the interest is low. What can the Gridcoin development team do to change this?

Nothing is free sister, people not giving any damn because there are already so many similar projects out there, or maybe the  filthy rich governments supporting and arming groups like Isis could give their money for science and future of humanity instead, ey?

Or billions of dollars spending on making more weapons just with the sole purpose of using them on human beings could be spent on projects like this one, NO?

Not to appeal to micro earners and ask them to support science while the rich getting richer and the fat getting fatter and  benefiting the results of the science projects which eventually we the middle class and average of hard working people are the one making them possible.

Wow GRC looking so sexy right now


The Thunderclap campaign will be epic

The markets might go crazy anytime soon...3k sats look like an easy target, considering the weak sell reisistance


Also, Marketcap at only $3m, so undervalued and $10m would be a good target

Unfortunately that is the harsh truth, the defense budgets in the US are in the hundreds of billions, but scientists looking to make breakthroughs are on their own trying to find money anyway they can.
