Gridcoin vs curecoin

[Scalextrix]

So for my part Im a long time BOINCer, so for me there is no competition and Gridcoin has to be the winner.  While I respect everyone participating in the Folding community, and the coins that are working on that platform, they just arent for me.  I think its fair I get that out of the way so you know my bias.

Gridcoin has a very strong community feel, its the first online community I ever felt I wanted to be a part of - there is something on this point that I think separates/elevates Gridcoin over many others, we have in wallet voting and this is genuinely used to make decisions for the community, by the community.


EDIT: I forgot to mention that Gridcoin is also good because you can use the CPU to earn, in fact as a large proportion of BOINC projects are CPU only, you can often earn more CPU crunching than GPU crunching.  This for example leave your GPU free for gaming, or hashing other coins if you prefer.  This is a real USP.

The fact that the BU credits eclipse the rest of the projects has no bearing on the rewards!!! Gridcoin accounts for the difference, BU miners get the same share of the daily mint as the rest of the 34 whitelisted Boinc projects by Gridcoin.

Thanks for the explanation. Is there a decent info-graphic that shows how this works? I think it would really help bring the complexity down to earth for the "casual cruncher".

It is rather easy: Each day each project gets ~1470 Gridcoins paid out to it's researchers/miners.

How much coins you get for a single project depends on your percentage of the whole RAC in this project in team Gridcoin.

What you earn in total is the sum over all projects.

Because of this projects that give out RAC easier do not have any advantage over other projects.


I also agree with Scaletrix, the Gridcoin community is great, it's only very underrepresented here on bitcointalk, as the main forum is somewhere else: https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/464-gridcoin-grc/
