RE: GRCStarter@Home Proposal

in #gridcoin7 years ago (edited)

Meh -- who cares about the price. We're here for science and that is what is going to bring monetary value.

The goals of GRCStarter@home are as mentioned above:

helping projects that need help and helping new users

Its priorities are:

  • GRCStarter's overall computing objective is to support researchers or project heads with limited or sporadic Work Units (WU), or few volunteers working on their project.
  • GRCStarter's second priority is to introduce new users to the different projects and how to choose the right one for their hardware.
  • GRCStarter's third priority is to help new users build a base magnitude.
  • GRCStarter's fourth priority is to educate new users on the inner workings of grid computing, BOINC, PoS, and DPoR.

This means that all actions taken by GRCStarter will seek to fulfill a top priority before those below it. If it can achieve multiple priorities at the same time, all the better.

So really, GRCStarter is about helping researchers and projects - BOINC - while education new users about BOINC and Gridcoin.

Delegated PoS, or SuperNodes, is something completely unrelated to this project = ), but something I support looking into for GRC.

In relation to magnitude, the point is to reduce the Mag charge time from a few weeks to a few days. We all know how frustrating it is to start the client and not get rewarded as your mag charged up (because your RAC has to build).

I think the best option is to completely rewrite BOINC and GRC as a unified platform (a volunteer oriented grid computing incentive based blockchain), but who here has the money to fund that?!
