Yeah, maybe it is good not to remove it immediately since some new users are benefiting from Moo being less competitive.
I would love to see whitelist tiers resembling something like this:
Tier 1 - High quality publications in reputable journals and + ample work units. Examples: Rosetta, World Community Grid, Einstein, Milkyway, etc.
Tier 2 - A few publications in reputable journals + ample work units. OR High quality publications in reputable journals + low work units. Examples: GPUGrid (sporadic work units), climate prediction
Tier 3 - No publications/low probability of future publications and/or very dubious scientific or historical benefit. Example: Moo
Scientific publications are the currency of academic science so if we want to follow the scientific world we will have to encourage crunching on those projects that have the highest chance of publishing high quality research.
Clarification: climate prediction is not whitelisted and has not been for close to a year due to them not publishing daily stats information (which is required for our superblock system to work correctly). They have stated they are working on this for the future.
I was wondering why they were not included.
Proposed TCD system does not require daily stats update. If accepted and implemented, CPdN can be white-listed again.
In a perfect world ..

Sounds like it would be functional. This might also help with integration of other Distributed Network Communities (DNC) into Gridcoin. I envisage Gridcoin being the base for credit (computational power output) records. All other coins could be awarded based off of Gridcoin’s records.
