Well, the GRC dev, Rob, will be launching a hedge fund that uses results from the Gridcoin Finance Boinc project to put on options trades. Kind of like a machine learning options trading fund:
https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/11357-gridcoin-finance-project/People will be able to buy into the fund with GRC. At this post, it's all in the early stages so there isn't anything really definitive yet.
Not trolling, but I'm trying to understand the monetization of this coin. I'm looking to make a big investment in GRC as I very much like that the energy expended serves a useful purpose, but I can't understand what drives the "value" of this coin. Is it just remittance with a side effect of PoW benefit? Or is there an intention to have projects "purchase/rent" CPU time on the network through some sort of portal (using the tokens/coins for the chain)? I understand there is a BOINC white list, and that is great, but is it still "free" like Seti@home? Clearly folks are willing to donate free cpu time historically to scientific projects, but beyond remittance I don't see what would drive value for this coin at that point. If remittance is your use case, there are a lot of other block chains with more momentum and visibility. Just trying to wrap my head around this project, sorry for all the questions.
