RE: GridcoinStats Faucet; Backed with rewards from a stable community
Where was this coin when I was running SETI@Home all the time on all workstations a s a wallpaper? :)
Anyways, a great initiative.
Two quick newbie questions:
- how do you get a GRC address?
- What project should one join as a first one?
TNX!
A score for one project doesn't mean you would get the same on another project. It all depends on your hardware and how many that are on the Gridcoin team, as you share the projects reward per project and not in total.
Join the cryptocointalk forum and/or the IRC channel and they can probably give you answers to most of the question you can have.
I wish you best of luck.
You can get a Gridcoin address if you install Gridcoin Wallet. You also have a Gridcoin address if you have an account on Poloniex, Bittrex or C-CEX.
Quick answer: you can rejoin SETI@home, they are still in business.
Long answer: Gridcoin is mined through 28 different BOINC projects, performing various scientific computations (math, astrophysics, medicine etc), greatly varying in scope, preferred hardware (CPU, GPU, AMD, Intel, Nvidia) and type of calculations (integer, FP32, FP64). You should provide us with some details about your hardware and/or possible scientific preferences and we will gladly give you some further recommendations.
Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
Hey, I found my SETI@Home profile page: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=8286981
Too bad that the email address I used to join doesn't exist any more. And I doubt that I have Boinc data backed up.
After two minutes... I've tried one of my old addresses and paswords and - to my astonishement - I got it right in the first try :)
OK, we are rolling again.
Now get this: @ervin-lemark is a SETI@home member since 8 July 1999. Welcome to Gridcoin!
Thank you!
I might have some questions tomorrow though :)
Good night.
I only hope you'll be as good a Gridcoin member as you've been a SETI member. Welcome to the team. Take a look around and get to know the place before making any crazy comments.
We've had some long-standing BOINC members that don't quite understand how Gridcoin works stirring up needless drama, or attaching themselves to thieving idealogies without realizing it.
