Title: Gridcoin / BOINC
Post by: deerough on January 10, 2014, 12:26:17 AM
So this is my Newb post.... was wondering what everyone thinks about this coin.  I am new to mining and was looking for something that actually had some real world benefit.  I like the idea that it forces you devote some cpu to crunching research jobs.  I have actually been running BOINC on some servers and desktops for a while now, and am trying to decide whether to switch my desktop rig with a couple of 280x's over to GRC.  Any thoughts?

Yes, do mine this coin.  It is a great coin that helps out with science.  The dev team has some great ideas to get the most science from mining

Try it and see how it goes. I have been mining it for a while now. Here is the link for team Gridcoin: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=BBNGDQS832

I've been with it every since I found it - fills my need for coins AND helping a cause. It had a rough start since it's a work in progress but the bad bumps are pass and it's been progressing well lately with the features the dev's been working on for it :)
