To go solo, you have to acquire a certain amount of GRC (about 2000 as he writes) to be able to get rewards in a pleasant amount of time. Now, that the price is low/er, this is easier than when it rises again.
So you are rather suggesting to invest now. This is totally fine, but i can also stay in the pool till it payed me 2000grc or stay in the pool for convenience or because i like it as an account manager.
I went solo half a year ago, also because i want to secure the network. Just pointing out that the price is not one of the greater impacts on going solo :)
Okay, so we're in the same camp then :) I think it can be one of the greater impacts though, if you only have a low mag (lets say 4) make 1 GRC a day therefore and would have to pool-crunch for several years to be able to go solo.
Rewards for doing research on BOINC are given to solo miners when they stake a block. Your chance to stake a block is based on how many coins you have so if you don't have enough you might not stake in the ~6 months before the record of your research is lost. So a low gridcoin price means you can get more gridcoin for cheaper to allow you to stake and receive your research rewards.
