Lately Erkan is raising some very important issues about gridcoin. In the same spirit I would like to make a post to raise some thoughts I also have. Some may call me a fuder I know. But these are problems that we may have to face sooner or later and we should definitely try to solve them now or at least come up with a contingency plan. Things like the super block issue or removing the team requirement are definitely secondary and can wait:
What if the dev team is killed/abducted by the mafia or another group that wants to manipulate the price?
Gridcoin is doomed and pointless, since a treatment for aids (or other scientific problem) will come sooner or later. What's the point?
How to recover if a member of the dev team is found to be a pedo or something?
What if aliens visit us tomorrow and provide answers to all our scientific problems and questions? We need to come back for an alternative use for gridcoin ASAP!!!!
What if Trump starts a nuclear war with north Korea and we end up back to the stone age? How are we gonna crunch ? We should find a way to impeach him first and then everything else follows
What if the neural network becomes self aware and kills humanity?
What if Zombie/Werewolf/Vampire apocalypse?
Please share your thoughts.
You raise some incredibly serious issues here. I don't know why the Gridcoin community has neglected to discuss these things. Wake up people!
I'm especially concerned about the nuclear war. How many redundant backups of my wallet.dat should I make? Also, I think it would be safest to distribute them all over the world just to be sure. Probably not major cities though, since they'll probably be caught up in the nuking.

Shit didn't think about the back up thing... Maybe we should allocate some of the community fund to build an awesome bunker?

I agree. When I have 100k grc I'll create the poll. At my current pace, it should be sometime in 2019.

To be fair, you could rent an VPS in a nuclear bunker for some secure storage.. your small stake may become the majority stake haha

Then I guess we don't have to worry about Gridcoin (or basically anything else) anymore If any of these things happens! :D

This is perhaps the best I've heard all day. Write that down! Brilliant.
Am I the only one that appreciates this level of humor?

I have these kind of worries too, I know Asteroids@Home is mapping those objects, but if they find one hurtling towards Earth, I'd like to know if the Gridcoin devs are going to be able to build a nuclear warhead, strap it to a rocket and save us all in time...
