The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Unable to install the wallet from AUR: "make: *** [Makefile:790: install-recursive] Error 1"
Any ideas as to how to get this working? I've searched and the closest entry to this entry that I've found is here: https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/issues/2369

Governance Poll to Change Poll Active Vote Weight (AVW) Validation Requirements (Important!)
Please see https://gridcoin.us/wiki/voting.html for a review of Gridcoin's voting system and current poll requirements. This also defines Active Vote Weight (AVW). For those interested in the gory details of how the wallet actually calculates AVW, please see https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/pull/2210 and in particular the handwritten notes.

Folding@Home Adapter Whitelisting
The Gridcoin community has long sought a way to be able to include other distributed computing domains in our rewards structure. (See https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/issues/782 and https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Tasks/issues/70.) Long ago there was an attempt to try and expose Folding@Home directly as a BOINC project, and it failed. Years later, all of the work done on the scraper (Denise milestone) and later the rest of the recode of the Gridcoin rewards framework (Fern+) prepared the network infrastructure in theory to support other computing domains, with Folding@Home the top of the list. There are limits to what the current wallet protocol can support at the current time though. After thinking through these limits and discussing the most efficient way to "hook in" Folding @Home, the core developers concluded the best approach would be to create an adapter that would act as a bridge between Folding@Home and the Gridcoin network. Cycy contemplated doing a heavier weight adapter that would act much like a BOINC project, requiring account registration just like a regular BOINC project, and then monitoring Folding@Home tasks and transforming that into BOINC project like statistics for the Gridcoin network to process. Cycy even created an informal (survey) poll to gauge interest in the community on this. (See the output of getpollresults 9af4b51f00841ab82f444c218c47b80d0c590098e6d0237fa02489652055cb83 in the wallet console, https://www.reddit.com/r/gridcoin/comments/jvephz/opinion_poll_should_gridcoin_reward_foldinghome/, and https://www.gridcoinstats.eu/poll/9af4b51f00841ab82f444c218c47b80d0c590098e6d0237fa02489652055cb83.) The results of that poll indicated very strong support by the community to create an adapter for Folding@Home. Unfortunately before Cycy could do the adapter, his priorities changed and he is no longer active. Fortunately Div72 has picked up the baton and done it! The adapter that Div72 has written is much thinner than what Cycy envisioned, extremely simple, and elegant and will work very well for the community. It has been in testing on Testnet for several weeks and is extremely stable. I will get into how it works later in this write-up, but first I want to discuss the whitelisting requirements that we apply to new projects. Although Folding@Home is different in many ways from a native BOINC project, we should discuss the requirements as applied to Folding@Home and do a whitelisting poll for Folding@Home.

how do I join a BOINC project to receive rewards on arch linux?
for the wallet, afaik there is no arch package, at least not in their github releases, but there is a very good guide in compiling the wallet https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/blob/development/doc/build-unix.md

Bitcoin Block 840000
The only way I can foresee a cryptocoin actually holding value is if spending the coin meant spending processing cycles and RAM doing things like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_pr...
But in more general sense, less like https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ and more like AWS...
It's the only way to have value, actually holding computing power in a distributed network.

Have you ever donated your computing power with BOINC? Take 5 minutes to fill out the 2023 BOINC Census!
The BOINC Census is back for another year! BOINC is an open source software and network for volunteer computing. People can use it do donate their CPU/GPU power to various scientific research areas like cancer, drug discovery, mapping the galaxy, and more.

Ask HN: What should I do with my leftover bandwidth?
A few years back, I was in a similar situation and found BOINC(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) to be a great way to contribute. It's a platform that lets you support various scientific research projects by sharing your computational power and bandwidth. However, it's worth noting that BOINC might tends to be more CPU/GPU intensive rather than bandwidth-heavy
- If you have a decent computer, you could contribute to science by installing Boinc. A couple of different projects are researching COVID cures.

Scientific computing on a personal machine vs university resources
Probably BOINC (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) could be a good solution for you. You can write me a DM, and I could help you to clarify is this something that could help you with your research. By default, to run your computations on BOINC you need to create a server, but we can deal with that and run your research on our own server first, so this could help you to start faster, and then later decide if you need a separate server. And yes - it's totally free.
