RE: [AMA] We are Dutch (top Gridcoin solo miner) and Vortac (Gridcoin and Steemit whale). Gridcoin is a cryptocurrency mined through scientific research instead of POW. Ask us (almost) anything.
Just like Vortac, I only 'mine' Gridcoin with all my hardware. I have no interest in supporting the POW coins that most people mine. What 'we' have created in Bitcoin is an environmental disaster of increasingly insane proportions.
Ignoring the existence of ASICs, if we could point all the POW mining power of other coins to research, even for just a year, we would make massive advances in a number of scientific fields including medicine. This is why I cannot support POW coins.

I mine only Gridcoin and I intend to keep it that way. PoW mining does not interest me.
EDIT: Dutch explained it from a scientist's perspective ^^^. Now, I am not a scientist, but I agree with him 100%.
Thanks to both of you. That's what I expected :D
