Voted, but not for the one I thought it would be; I changed my mind after reviewing that candidates.

A few thoughts:
Is it possible to provide brief candidate information in the wallets? Or perhaps notification of voting cycles?
I'd say allow voting in that way but I suspect it would be a programmer's nightmare. Another thought is that maybe you would want people to come here for that information rather than avoid the community.

Like the GPUGRID thing, is there any other coin that already contributes computing power to science calculations? I know there's one that does math problems. Is the foundation considering such? Perhaps partnering with GPUGRID or coming up with our own similar thing?

Ah ok. I'll have to update; my own fault for not monitoring the pool. But I do lurk around here. Thanks for the prompt response.

I've just restarted my miner since it stopped responding yesterday. It wouldn't connect back to Lifeforce so I've swapped back to supernova for now.

What's with all the sockpuppets?

also +1 @praxis

Yes, thanks! That's exactly what I was after to get going.
I did get my card upward of 350 at one point but I was getting HW errors and random crashes. Lost quite a few days of mining that way since I don't get to monitor it often enough. So I've gradually scaled it back and hopefully it will remain more stable.

I'm about to fire up the p2pool connection. Then off to bed. Hopefully it goes well.

Thanks again for the help,
Sam

Hi Everyone,

Just signed up to post but I've been following this and mining since about 3 days after launch. I'm a big fan of science and therefore I hope this coin does really well. Big news today about the observation of gravity waves; potential for Nobel prizes if that all checks out. But probably not the kind of science in need of funding at this point...

I've only got my old gaming rig with a 5850 to mine with but I'm giving it all I've got (which is about 0.33MH/s). For science!

I'm interested in seeing how the first round of funding goes and what type of science gets chosen. I think someone previously mentioned that it wouldn't be something being commercialised but more towards the research side of things. I understand the foundation is going to provide more guidance on this soon and filter down the nominated projects. Either way I'm keen to see how it all goes. I personally hope our funding goes towards something where it can make a difference. So I guess that counts out things like ITER for now I see a lot of articles come out on research that has the potential to improve life as we know it but it seems to take so long to reach implementation. Hopefully we can speed some of that along.

Some of my favourite topic areas are physics, alternative energy, chemistry, regenerative medicine...

Here are some recent links:

Huge potential there. Are these are the sort of things that might benefit from funding?

Also, if anyone is interested and doesn't know about it there's a facebook group that provides information on science developments (I'm not affiliated, I'm just a fan). it's called "I fxxxing love science" <-- but uses the actual adult word (I'm not sure about the language rules here)

P.S.
I'm planning on joining a P2P pool but I'm not sure about a few things.
1. I'm in Australia and the best latency node is a US one with about 170ms. Is that worthwhile? (I'm not keen on setting up my own node)
2. I've got cgminer 3.7.2 can I just adjust the batch file like so:

Keep my other settings? Or should I not set hardware options?
I don't need a failover? (I think this one is automatic)
There was something about setting a difficulty?
