Re: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC

Yes you need at least 1 GRC to validate your node like POS to begin minting POR blocks, but unlike simple interest your minting is based on your research participation. There will be many giveaways in the future (there is one currently as anonerd mentioned: http://uscore.net) for people to get started. In the mean time anyone looking to get started will be helped on the forums.

Thank you for the concrete info.

I'm helping you testing, pushing up this thread, and finally donating my computing power and electricity to your project, and still I'm not 100% sure if it really works. I will support your project in long term in future too, because I think it's a really good idea (one of the best ideas in cryptoworld), but except investing my computing power and time, I will not invest my BTC, PLN nor EUR.
Here's my PoR GRC address: S5ePpF26ehemfCrrmkczLvnbXfvAazSYM6 I'd like to test if it really works as you have written.

Thank you. I will see it when I get synced, now I'm still "1 hour behind" (in the morning it was "1 hour behind" too). I don't know why it happens. I thought that I'm on wrong fork again, but checked block explorer and there's the same block number. Wallet version is v3.1.6.2-g-research (yesterday's version).
