Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread

[traderman]

Depends on how you configure it, you can make Boinc use all of you cpu/ram or you can make it use only portions.

Does BOINC affect your pc performance while running?

Or you say that BOINC should only run when the computer is not in use.

Gridcoin is a marathon, no sprint. You will not loose any Gridcoin because we have a lookback period of 14 days. So all contributions to BOINC will be remembered in this 14 days timewindow. Its not like Bitcoin or any other POW.

After the next mandatory we will have a 6 MONTHS lookback period btw. One payment will be sufficient in 6 months and you will get fully paid for everything, interest (POS) and research (POR).

Its a pity that people who do not know facts start with calling a technology shitty or bullshit

You should watch this new Gridcoin video tutorial for windows:

Check this video done up one of the guys. And it will explain some of this "bs".

Did you update to the latest version? If not, uninstall. reinstall from the latest msi from gridcoin.us, clean %appdata%/roaming/gridcoinresearch EXCEPT wallet.dat, walletbackups folder and *.conf and restart. Run as administrator! Then you can use the rebuild block chain -> download blocks to sync faster

Gridcoin is getting to be really exciting actually such a good coin! Should take over Litecoin! Personally I'm rather attached to bitcoin but I dont know why it couldn't be a better than bitcoin? has bitcoin got anything that gridcoin doesn't?

More people know Bitcoin, more services accept Bitcoin.

Nothing that can't be changed.

I said it before (when the price was at 300 satoshis) and I say it again (now its at 1100 satoshis, rising): What are the people, YOU, waiting for? We have a coin with USEFUL algorithms, ASIC proof because there are many different algorithms, with incoin voting and smart contracts. Once we reach Top 5 in terms of coinmarketcap (the price has to rise at factor 10 for that) you can thank me for sounding like a troll

First mover advantage.

But the big thing about gridcoin is that the computations you do solve real world problems, eg. protein folding, simulating a brain,....

Imagine if Gridcoin was as big as Bitcoin, then it would be by far the fastest and biggest supercomputer in the world, run by people all over the world, solving the world's scientific problems!

[traderman]

If you really think about it, there is really no way to even begin to comprehend the scientific implications if Gridcoin really does take off and millions of Boinc participants and commercial mining entities come into the picture. Simulations that may have previously taken several months or even years with current distributed computational power may end up being completed in days/hours. The time savings alone for scientists would be incalculable. IT BOGGLES THE MIND!!!

Is there a list or something that shows the latest problems solved thanks to Boinc?

Many projects keep an own list of discovered prime numbers (https://www.primegrid.com/) or "rendered" asteroids (http://asteroidsathome.net/scientific_results.html) for example.

One discovery made it to science news lately from einstein@home, for example: http://www.space.com/24190-pulsar-gravity-einstein-general-relativity.html
