RE: Gridcoin: Helping Find Cures for Zika/Aids/Cancer and Analyzing LHC Data for Crypto? Sign Me Up!
Wow, awesome! Thanks Luke, I'm going to check this out, like you say, it's a great thing to be part of something huge, like curing a major disease, or helping sift LHC data.
Things like this make me wish I just had a super powerful, dedicated computer though. I can imagine pausing it a lot, as I try and free up RAM and processing space.
Great stuff though, I really hope it catches on, not just Gridcoin, but others to.
Congrats on another, very informative, and useful post!
Merci!
Actually you dont need powerful hardware, I run Gridcoin on a Raspberry Pi! You can do BOINC work on PC/MAC with Windows/Linux/OSX, you can use Android phones/tablets, laptops, whatever you have pretty much except for iPhone/iPad because Apple lock them down.
Some people think its not worth it to use low power equipment, but every single result you return is one that someone else does not have to work on, so even if you can only do a little bit, its worthwhile from the humanitarian perspective.
Very good points, I shall get on this with more than just my main PC.

Thanks Cryptogee! I've been excited about posting this one for a week now. :)
No worries.
Hey, I tell you the sort of post that would go down well from someone like yourself. Is how you organise all your cryptos, the ones you've got, and the ones you are planning to look at.
I'm sure you must have a system as you seem like a pretty organised type of guy! :-)

I created the The Cryptocurrency Bank Spreadsheet 3 months ago. :)
Awesome, I'll check that out :-)
Thanks!
