Gridcoin-Tasks VS ergoMixBack

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.

Before funding your main wallet, I'd download the mixer and create a covert address to fund your main wallet from your Ergo exchange of choice.

Not in any particular order and not even comprehensive, since I'm not including things that are on the roadmap such as NiPoWoWs, tools such as the mixer, and so forth. But, a few things people might be interested in with links:

If you want to understand the mixer, download it and try it.

- ErgoMixer - Web application for mixing ergs and tokens based on Ergo platform.

ErgoMixer brings truly innovative, optional privacy solutions to Ergo and DeFi. Besides simply sending or receiving tokens, the mixer could also potentially be used across other dApps like NFT marketplaces and decentralized exchanges. ErgoMixer offers a new layer of privacy that is non-custodial with zero risk of losing tokens in a transaction. To use the mixer, download the latest version from GitHub and check out this YouTube tutorial.

This is Ergo’s mixer: https://github.com/ergoMixer/ergoMixBack …. Though Secret Network is great. The app made by Trivium Nodes BlackBox is amazing. https://blackbox.cash

The normal response to this question for Ergo is to bring up the Mixer, light clients, the ability to have shared wallets, etc. But, the reality is that the ecosystem is evolving and we don't know what Ergo's killer app is going to be until Ergo has had more time to mature and find various niches in the larger blockchain ecosystem, which itself largely doesn't exist yet.

Go to Ergo's Mixer and try to compile it from source using the Quick Start Shell script. Then, if that fails, as it did for me, try the other options and tell us about your experience. Good times!
