RE: The Eternal Conflict Between Altruistic Science and The Bottom Line - Gridcoin and BOINC
I recently got into Gridcoin because i was interested in cryptocurrency but i didn't feel comfortable wasting power on random number crunching for a few cents when i knew there were much older projects like SETI, Folding and Rosetta out there.
It's nice to see it's not all about the coins.
It definitely isn't, which is nice. Team Gridcoin is actually the biggest contributor to Einstein@Home, which is the project looking for pulsars and gravitational waves. It is probably the least profitable whitelisted project to do research for, yet a very large subset of the community contributes to it.
Collectively, we have over 30 million RAC on that project.
