Gridcoin-Tasks VS boinc

Anyone interested should also look into Gridcoin, you can get some crypto back in addition to doing some good science.

https://gridcoin.us/

Gridcoin. Support science. https://gridcoin.us

Been around longer than Eth has. You can check out the mining/crunching guides at gridcoin.us. If you run into any questions hop on the discord people are happy to help

Generally in terms of best to run for earning GRC it's math > physics > health augmented by CPU/GPU. You can get an idea of which those are by looking at the whitelist on gridcoin.us. I would avoid sidock for pis, iirc their workunits are very read/write heavy which isn't great for an SD-card based system.

Gridcoin - This cryptocurrency rewards users for participating in BOINC, a platform for distributed computing that supports a variety of scientific research projects.

I run BOINC with Gridcoin… but you’re likely not going to make much, if anything, after electricity. It’s for science tho :)

And there's rewards for doing it - https://gridcoin.us/

https://gridcoin.us. It’s a project that incentivizes distributive computing.

I noticed Universe@home is no longer showing in my wallet whitelist, but cannot find anything on it being removed from GRC. This might be a dumb question, but can anyone give me a link to what happened? I don't see anything on this sub and https://gridcoin.us/ still shows it whitelisted, but I know that's slow to update at times.

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.

Made me think of Gridcoin and BOINC https://boinc.berkeley.edu/

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.

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

Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC)

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php

Has a unified management experience with the ability to subscribe to various projects, and set priorities/schedules for work units.

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.
