RE: Brainstorming new BOINC projects - Anyone can create a project & reward their users with Gridcoin!
I like the idea about distributing full nodes trough a boinc project. It would be a good way to reward users with actual income to the network, and at the same time help new and unestablished coins to the market. But this could work just as well for bug and established coins that wish to secure their network with nodes. I think a reward based o how big data the chain is and amount of transferred data would be a good weight. It's certainly an interesting idea.
It would be especially successful if other cryptos could pay for more resources to be dedicated towards running full nodes of their choice. The difficulty with such a project would be creating a secure work unit that users couldn't cheat & to come up with a scoring system for running a full node.
We'd have to be very careful distributing new cryptocurrency full nodes (due to potential for malware distribution). There'd probably be very little risk in running the project for well established crypto projects.
