Hey guys, if any of you want to learn more about it, we have a website up with information/downloads/guides and a new forum as well if you'd like to join the community and learn more.

The developer of Gridcoin is in the middle of trying to figure out an reliable method of rewarding BOINC points within the actual block chain; no estimate on how long it'll take but it looks promising.

Anyways website is: www.gridcoinnetwork.org

and our forums are: www.gridcoinforum.com

Thanks guys!

Thanks Ageless, I accidentally had quotes in there. It looks like I can't edit a post after a certain amount of time has passed?

Hi guys,

I've been a hobbyist cryptocurrency miner, and I only first found about about BOINC from the release of a new cryptocurrency called Gridcoin - released less than a week ago.

What Gridcoin does is reward miners who are running BOINC higher rewards (up to 150 Gridcoins for 100% BOINC utilization) compared to non-BOINC miners (only 5 Gridcoins). In terms of cryptocurrencies, this makes Gridcoin the most useful since although it still uses energy from GPU's to support the network, its users are are also obliged to run BOINC if they want timeworthy rewards for their mining, which goes towards meaningful projects.

For those of you who currently mine cryptocurrencies or are interested in learning more, rather than post the entire description here I'll just link to Gridcoin's main forum thread. Feel free to check it out if you have any GPU's not running BOINC (particularly AMD). We'd be glad to help you get started if you end up wanting to try it, and being only released 5 days ago, there's no better time to get started than now.
