Almost a year ago, in March 2018 I made a proposal [1] to the Byteball Community (in the meanwhile the project was renamed to Obyte). The project had a remaining amount of coins to distribute. The idea was to give a part of the remaining coins to users which contribute processing power to scientific research projects (among other things fighting cancer, Zika virus, HVI and others) on WorldCommunityGrid platform which is provided by IBM. The idea was so well received that a short time later a team was established and a bot created for daily Bytes distribution and a campaign was announced officially.
Now a year has been passed since that and Byteball/Obyte team on WorldCommunityGrid has around
1300 members which had spent
10000 years of processing power and processed
35 million tasks to a range of scientific projects. Within the year, the team reached rank 15 out of more than 4000 teams and even won a challenge [2]. Thus a huge success that brought Byteball/Obyte attention.
Therefore I am now looking for projects and project owners who are still sitting on an undistributed pile and are looking for a good and useful way to distribute it and support important research that affects us all. The advantage is that everyone can participate. You do not need bitcoins or big mining equipment. The distribution can take place either automatically via the blockchain (e.g. via a bot or smart contract) or manually. I am ready to support the campaign if needed.
I'm also looking for people who know such projects and maybe suggest the idea in the respective community.
