Orange juice beats coca cola too, but orange juice did not have a corporate ico to raise millions for a massive initial pump.

That's true, if grc came out as an ico it would be 1 USD per coin by now.

GRC as of right now is a little over 3.5 cents/coin.

 If it had an ICO I'd expect it to be more like a dollar.

Before i saw this i didnt realize how amazing this thing was: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/chart_list.php
We can actually use this network to find solutions to great problems. Just to name a few i found interresting:

Collatz conjecture: Math problem
SETI@Home: search for Aliens!!!!
POEM@Home: Protein folding


Just wanted to share that

Lol if gridcoin found aliens it would be zoop right to $100.

I believe the Rosetta project probably counts as "the most serious science" project on BOINC, though POEM and at least one of the astronomical ones (not SETI, that's more of a speculation thing) and a few of the others can argue the point.

 I agree, when I'm running SETI I might as well be trying to solve the bitcoin algorithm.

That's kind of a low altitude observation.

Finding aliens, for most people, would decrease the significance of local currency i.e., the relative price of any currency would be less worth obsessing over.

But also worth noting that when you meet a super smart person, that person usually is very sure of extra terrestrial intelligence, even without formal data to prove it. Food before telescopes though

Yeah but most probably 1000's of light years away and 100's of thousands for intelligent life and millions for advanced intelligent life...but possible a type 3 civilisation could be there but we wouldn't be able to notice them and they would have no interest in us anyway, it would for them, be like a human talking to an ant.

Does anyone has a link to a roadmap for the developers? I would like to see what's in the pipeline the upcoming months.

Thanks

Just holding a little bag for the grid, I think it will also experience a price increase like other altcoin and has good potential as a good investment

This is the general roadmap, issued by lead dev last year:

 Asteroids@home - determine the orbit of asteroids in the hope of figuring out the next "dinosaur killer" or even another Tunguska even that ISN'T in a very very low pop area soon enough that we can DO something about it.
 (edit - oops, misremembered this one, I was thinking of a different project this one is about figuring out what an asteroid's configuration is and perhaps a bit about it's density)

 On the other hand, in the last couple of decades astronomers have found a LOT of "potentially habitable" worlds, giving a very strong point to the Fermi paradox.

Golem pumped yesteday, some of the hype occasionally spills over to Gridcoin, largely thanks to Nate (https://www.reddit.com/user/NateOnTheNet) who is relentlessly promoting Gridcoin on Poloniex, Reddit and on his own website.

very interesting read, are there estimates what you can earn with a decent pc, and are you able to contribute pc power and still work on it or is it lagging and slow?
