I'd be careful with that statement. You clearly intend to get rewarded GRC for the boincing. Though many have done it before, I don't think that is what Google has in mind for the service.

The service is meant to be used for similar purposes (like BOINC, not mining). What's the point of having cloud computing if you're restricted in such silly ways.
I said silly because BOINC is a scientific research program, independent of Gridcoin. Gridcoin's relation to BOINC is that TeamGridcoin is merely one of many Boinc Groups in General Pool.
On top of that, they provide rewards for participants of their group, but it doesn't in any way affect how BOINC operates, therefore there is no use of the VM intended to work directly with any block-chain structure, mining or upkeep of the network... In no way this can be precisely called mining or minting. It's like saying it's not cool to run research software on your VM, because you can make profit from the results... Even thought it's aimed at Businesses.
Again, you are foolish to be posting this guide. You explicitly outline how to install and run the gridcoin wallet, which is a cryptomining application. It doesn't matter the relation to BOINC and research. At the end of the day, it's cryptomining, and that is how google or any other cloud computing service is going to see it.
It has nothing to do with manners, and all to do with how you are instructing people to use a service that clearly states in its documentation that what you are instructing people to do is against their terms of service.
Should have read the fine print before you went through all this work, and don't lash out at me because of your ignorance.
This is your rude opinion nothing more. All it does is proves your lack of technical knowledge. Show me in which step we install the gridcoin wallet and tell me in which way just having a gridcoin wallet can be interpreted as mining. I think most of you (who post those comments) read only the title and think you know everything - that's ignorance. But I explicitly clarify everything in the body of the guide.
