Hello Steemit!
Did you know? You can earn a cryptocurrency (Gridcoin) (GRC) while you use BOINC?
The current value of the Gridcoin is $0.067907.
Your computer do real (useful, scientific) work with BOINC (like solving mathematical, biological, physical and other problems, researching things) not the simple mining like most of the other cryptocurrencies!
If you would like to put your computer in a good use then this is it for you.
"Gridcoin securely rewards volunteer distributed computing performed upon the BOINC platform in a decentralized manner on top of proof of stake. Projects range from attempting to cure diseases to searching for extraterrestrial life! You can distribute virtually any kind of distributed computing process through BOINC (utilizing GPU/CPU/Sensors/etc)."
"The BOINC network is currently made up of approximately 500k active users and 4 million registered users - a massive potential userbase for Gridcoin and a serious amount of computing power available for scientific research!"
You can read more info about Gridcoin on their official website: http://www.gridcoin.us
See the project whitelist (what projects can you run with BOINC to earn Gridcoin) at the following page: http://www.gridcoin.us/Guides/whitelist.htm
This (the actual scientific research behind it) make this coin more valuable to me.
I hope that the value of Gridcoin will increase over time as more users will discover it!
I will probably write more about Gridcoin and BOINC in the future.
Thank you for reading!
Enjoy Steemit!
Have a nice day!
That gets you a follow
This is what I like about Gridcoin. While Golem be like "SUPERCOMPUTER NETWORK GUYS!!" Gridcoin has already pretty much achieved it way earlier by paying people for contributing to science.
