RE: Gridcoin coinhive miner
@Parejan you took the words out of my mouth 100%. XMR does not have a good rep , I tried earning some when goofyxgrid tried doing an amd gpu miner app and holly hell their blockchain is huge.. sau412 dont you already run a gridcoin pool? How about taking up the licensing issue with apple that wont allow Berkeley release a boinc application for iphones? Maybe you can help with an ios gridcoin wallet too?
I found information about BOINC application problem for iOS, quote: "The developers from what I have seen have indicated that this is mostly due to the restrictions the Apple Store and the platform have against applications performing code updates and pulling code modules from outside servers once installed; you would basically need a complete BOINC + application module for every project and would need to recertify and repush it every time it updated."

I cannot easily do that application for iPhone (never tried to do iOS app). But i'll check if there is possible to do javascript workunit for seti@home (because I found their sources).
About iOS gridcoin wallet. Do you mean coinomi wallet or separate app? Never heard about separate app.
You were the one complaining about no Boinc on iOS and I already knew the reason but I thought I should make sure you did too and I was trying to help you resolve there not being a Gridcoin wallet , develop it. There is the " beta " or attempt at gridcoin.io to make a no offense " trust at your own will " a " paper " web wallet. I am sorry but my fictitiousness and sarcasm did not come threw in the text for once. I am highly against what you are proposing. Either you are promoting and backing Gridcoin by running your pool or promoting and getting behind another. Does not seem like a good business model. If you research the XMR hiveminer results and how crappy of a reputation , think if you/we as a community want Gridcoin to be related? I think people see the price and since its a larger figure get greedy thinking they should add it.. goofyxgrid@home tried it with XMR and failed.
Not sure that I undertand all text correctly, but I try to reply.
I don't want to develop gridcoin wallet for iOS. I'm not iOS developer.
If people aren't greedy, why they care about project and subproject selection? There are many posts about maximizing output, how else would it be classified?
A person is not required to support only one project. I like other projects too, and want to try them too.
Thanks for mentioning about goofyxgrid and monero relations, I'll check what is happened.
Completely agree, to me this is completely against what Gridcoin is about, the only explanation I can understand is not having a BOINC capable device, but even for that I would imagine there is a better solution
If only javascript workunits could exists... Gridcoin need project with javascript workunits, it could solve problem with capable devices.
Then we can do coinhive alternative. Want some crypto? Solve workunit:)
