Ohhh are you referring to the CPU measurement thing, cause that was 1 year ago, Gridcoin has changed a lot since then.

This is why Gridcoin was made, a POS hybrid that determines the block reward based on Boinc science work. http://btcfeed.net/news/gridcoin-cryptocurrency-scientific-distributed-computing/

I'm not a big fan of Proof of stake because it just makes the richest even richer, not a ton of room for competition.

Has Gridcoin solved the issue with the exploit that allowed to generate reward without doing actual work?
