This sums up Gridcoin pretty well.
Could flourish inside a niche like CPU mining, since Boinc seems pretty resistant against botnets from my observation. Professional GPU rigs might stick with X11 algo coins. Why should they stay with hashes when General Purpose GPU work units pay better than X1137311 and ppl realize the leverage of utility in Gridcoin  Science has a budget (like Large Hadron Collider which brought me to GRC mining, "With a budget of 7.5 billion euros (approx. $9bn or £6.19bn as of June 2010), the LHC is one of the most expensive scientific instruments[96] ever built.[97]") only if they recognize the utility value of GRC network calculating their numbers AND shove some funds into the general direction of that Otherwise miners will just stick with senseless SHA256 shuffling, or similar. It's a habit. Oh, disclaimer ... so yes, I did some GRC mining doing calculations for LHC. LHC@home Maybe should post some pictures of "my mining equipment" to explain what fascinated me     They will kill us all switching that thing on  hahaha, say, you sound a bit disappointed, did you leave LHC@home? You could help Gridcoin become the coin who is able to fund all those BOINC projects! At http://grcnation.com we are going to publish user content like a personal review on LHC, would you like to place an article/story on there? |

Anon, don't waste your time with these ignorant people on Reddit. Hey Traderman, I think we are starting to get the point of useful mining across, let's spread it! |

nice!

 https://i.imgur.com/DS7wEtEGridcoin-Research Why mine when you can research? Advancing science, mathematics, technology, and understanding the world around us. A secure blockchain developed on the philosophy of benefiting humanity. Get introduction at http://uscore.net and guides on http://grcnation.com Proof-of-Work algorithms have been criticized for wasting energy on meaningless equations in the mining process and for centralizing transaction processing by encouraging a specialized hardware arms race. Gridcoin introduces a Proof-of-Research algorithm that gives computers something productive to do. Instead of racing to solve meaningless equations, Gridcoin miners Researchers work on problems such as finding cures to diseases, mapping genomes, or climate studies, and are compensated for the work they do. Gridcoin rewards you for doing real work. Our goal is to divert computing power from wasteful hashing to productive computing, creating a supercomputing cluster that supports all kinds of scientific investigation and technology development. Access to supercomputers has traditionally been restricted to large research universities and corporations. By creating a large network of computing devices, complex computations once out of reach for most researchers are now possible. The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC), an open computing platform that supports all kinds of hardware and adapts as technology changes, has been providing distributed supercomputing since 2002, but until now the network was limited to those willing to contribute their resources on a volunteer basis. A few cryptocurrencies have attempted to create a compensation mechanism to increase participation in research, such as Ripple, Curecoin, and Research Support Coin, but these have used a centralized model for determining reward distribution and selecting research topics. Gridcoin lets you decide what to research, and pays you for your research.  Gridcoin is built on top of BOINC and is not limited to any one program, algorithm, or type of hardware. BOINC supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Android. You don't need special hardware to participate and earn rewards for your contributions to research — the computer you use for a few hours every day can contribute to CPU-based scientific projects when you aren't using it, and you won’t waste electricity competing with GPUs or ASICs for rewards. Those with special GPU mining rigs can also participate in projects designed specifically for parallel computations and you don't have to worry about losing your ROI to the next generation of ASICs. There are currently over 30 different projects available, each with its own hardware needs — some need CPUs, some need GPUs, and some need sensors. The diversity of hardware supported makes it possible to contribute to the network with almost any device, making it more secure and minimizing the centralization of mining power. The reward system is designed to pay you in the same way as a pay-per-share mining pool, so you are rewarded fairly based on the work you do — not by how fast you can solve a block. The devices you can use to contribute to scientific research through BOINC include CPU, GPU, Android, R-Pi, and ASICs, with more being added all the time. We ask for the community to join us as volunteers, developers, investors, and evangelists seeking to enable a fundamentally different paradigm for the blockchain and the benefits to humanity it can produce.

Last week, uscore.net sent GRC starter packages to 32 newcomers. Hope to see some more growth in our team! |
|
|

Ok, visit in TOP5 was short for now. Looks great! We have some incoming talents |

Gridcoin is in TOP5 of worldwide BOINC teams (100000+) measured by daily computations! http://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/team/list/12/0/052up 4up 2up 5 Gridcoin 46,097,421,720 1,656,540,213 11,106,393,664 40,780,095,130 1,380,643,580 - |

>> Alright, we're finally listed as research! #49 and moving up! http://coinmarketcap.com/Now with GRC Classic retiring in only 16 days, we will have the emission schedule off our backs and should give a propensity to appreciate easier! We're going to need to issue an emergency bulletin in the next 4-5 days to tell everyone to BURN YOUR CLASSIC COINS before Classic becomes too cheap to solve new blocks and that will seize up the classic chain! (If you perform a burn at the end of the schedule you may have to mine classic just to get it to confirm) Rob PS If *anyone* has an expired transaction that did not pay out please post ASAP! (Post the classic TX id) << |

Other forums that you are active on. For example, I have other hobbies and interests beside Bitcoin, so I am a member of other forums. Still not clear about which forums you want us to post on. Can you please clarify?
You are not very specific on the outside forums, however I may not be qualified because of my low activity here, I am a member of other forums like moneymakergroup been with them for over a year now. I am interested you need to give more details. like how many post and stuff for what how many btc? You qualify with your accounts elsewhere, age of your account on BCT is negligible. moneymakergroup would be gorgeous!  |

I think most people like science, so most forums I think will be applicable. I think if I narrow it down to just science it might cut out a lot of potentially interested users. cool! you might want to include a restriction on forum topic, so that it relates to science at least. Even newcomers with a science background complain they don't see whether their setup is configured correctly. Gridcoin as of now is a still a topic for geeks and setting up BOINC is complex and might end frustrating. Without restriction, your promotion could end up in a forum of pet lovers between guides for Chihuahua nutrition. |

Strike! Team Gridcoin is finally in TOP10 fastest BOINC research worldwide: BOINC World position based on RAC 9 out of 102,277  |

I'm also for starting a new thread, RTM said he was open for it, so let's make a new thread, but let's ask Rob to do it.
But I believe rob is not reading this thread: posting on CCT now. RTM and Rob both stated previously they don't want to have an empty thread, because of our history and visibility of it. Alas, a new thread could be made, in order to point to the page at which Proof-of-Research has started. |
