RE: Project Rain - Update regarding development!
Do boinc users have to be registered to be able to receive the rain? How would boinc users, who have no idea what digital currencies are, benefit from this?
BOINC users will need to create an Project Rain account, yes. In order to match one's CPID to cryptocurrency addresses/account you need to create an account and provide this information.
Many BOINC users are aware of digital currencies, there are 7000+ members in team Gridcoin for example. There are many more outside of team Gridcoin who know what cryptocurrencies are.
An BOINC user who participates in Project Rain will potentially receive many different types of rained assets for their BOINC computation, if these assets have value then they may be able to fully cover their electricity bills.
The learning curve for project rain users will be installing/syncing multiple wallets & providing their address/accounts in their profile. Once initially configured and their project rain CPID matches (merges into) their established CPID, it will be a passive process.
The main difficulty is the BOINC statistics ETL process which needs refined, especially if tens of thousands of BOINC are the target of a project rain.
I could perhaps begin a word of mouth campaign across all BOINC forums and run some advertising on BOINC statistics websites to recruit users to the BOINC project.
