This sums up Gridcoin pretty well.

Could flourish inside a niche like CPU mining, since Boinc seems pretty resistant against botnets from my observation. Professional GPU rigs might stick with X11 algo coins.

Why should they stay with hashes when General Purpose GPU work units pay better than X1137311
and ppl realize the leverage of utility in Gridcoin

Science has a budget (like Large Hadron Collider which brought me to GRC mining, "With a budget of 7.5 billion euros (approx. $9bn or £6.19bn as of June 2010), the LHC is one of the most expensive scientific instruments[96] ever built.[97]") only if they recognize the utility value of GRC network calculating their numbers AND shove some funds into the general direction of that
Otherwise miners will just stick with senseless SHA256 shuffling, or similar. It's a habit.

Oh, disclaimer ... so yes, I did some GRC mining doing calculations for LHC. LHC@home

Maybe should post some pictures of "my mining equipment" to explain what fascinated me

They will kill us all switching that thing on Cheesy

hahaha, say, you sound a bit disappointed, did you leave LHC@home?
You could help Gridcoin become the coin who is able to fund all those BOINC projects!
At http://grcnation.com we are going to publish user content like a personal review on LHC, would you like to place an article/story on there?
