1) Message boards : Questions and problems : [Discussion] 4th Generation BOINC credit system (Message 70183) Posted 14 Jun 2016 by SMH17 Post: Paying the research with a cryptocurrency as Gridcoin can only help the BOINC purpose. If a day the value of this cryptocurrency will grow certainly will attract greedy and bad people that are only profit driven, but in any scenario will drive on BOINC projects an huge amount of additional computational power to help science progress in the same way the avarice moved tons of computational power wasted in Bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies mining. It's a win-win, so make no sense claim such ban, prevent all possible cheating attempts is needed in any case.
