RE: Should we be Taking Gridcoin & BOINC to Enterprises to Build the Science Economy
The only harm I see is pushing potential clients away because we are not ready with resources and presentation material. But this isn't much. It's not like there's a shortage of CPU's run by businesses out there.
Anyway, if I were a business and someone came to me, I'd evaluate:
- Security of my system
- Reputation of my brand
- Legal responsibilities and requirements
- Practical application
- Profit potential
- Risk
- Growth potential
- Benefits of early adoption vs waiting for others to do it first
I think overall the community would be okay with something like this. If you want help or to help with the ongoing development of these sort of initiatives, come on in to slack or discord.
And this is the information that I will look to evaluate. If the community seems open to it.
I think what we have going for us at this time is the fact that the IBM World Community Grid was marketed heavily to businesses, and it had quite the uptake rate, judging on their partner statistics. They created a great overview for installation processes across a large number of devices, management, etc.
Adding GRC to the mix obviously adds issues in regards to expensing electricity usage and potential tax implecations, al of which will have to be case by case in the jurisdiction of the businesses.
I will sign up for the slack or discord when I get home, and look forward to contributing further
