True. If I remember correctly someone said that the goal for Gridcoin in the future is 1% CPU processing for the wallet and 99% of CPU for BOINC. So how is that not in line with that goal?

For me personally I always believed that another part of this is to beat out other currencies that waste energy on just being that coin -so that more people will eventually move to BOINC.
We won't beat out Bitcoin the OG cryptocurrency but maybe all the other altcoins that waste so much resources and contribute to climate change.
