Why use your computing power for useless hashing, when you can support research with it?

Great meme, but since we don't actually use Proof of Research anymore (due to security reasons) it may be confusing for (especially) new members

Well that is a valid point. But actually I think the wording "proof of research" quickly shows that you can earn Gridcoin for helping science :)

true. until we figure out a nice buzzword that is more accurate, not much we can do. just expect clarification comments = )

This was basically me, though I was mining XMR (and FCN because dual mining is free) on Minergate.

Based on using BOINC years ago I've been thinking for awhile now about obtaining a cryptcurrency for "mining" science work. I knew that a coin with actual intrinsic value could be made based on this work - "intrinsic value" because the coins represent actual valuable data that's been completed for real scientific, social, and global issues.

It's never set right with me how cryptocurrencies are all a complete waste of resources. It's absurd to reward nothing.

I feel sorry for bitcoin :(

I dont, she has become super-high maintenance; she's got slow, expensive and just cant make a clear descision on what to do next.

No-one wants to be around that.

Ya, she's got no ambition. Happy to sit on a shelf wasting energy when she could be discovering pulsars or finding a cure for cancer.
