RE: Announcing www.gridcoin.science - An Open Source Website for the Open Source Research Blockchain
Sounds cool. I think I will spend the afternoon taking a further look at it.
Are there any real results already? Like papers or some sort of published scientific research?
Do you mean for my lab? The work for the last 2 years is not able to be published yet due to sensitive IP, but here is the last key paper the lab put out on our neurovascular model.
I was asking in general. I remembered something about a similar project a few years ago (not with recent technology of course) and that project never produced a valid result, due to a failure in the underlying software.
But this project really sounds awesome.
Oh wait, you are talking about Gridcoin instead of my own research! My bad. There are hundreds of papers and research outputs made through BOINC, which is the research platform Gridcoin is built to reward. BOINC has existed for about 2 decades already, and is 100% functional. Here is an exhaustive list of publications.
Some key achievements:
The coolest thing is that users are told what they discovered, and recognised for their contributions. For example, @vortac found a new pulsar near the galactic core in 2011 and got published for it. @deltik recently found a new super prime.
Thanks
Above is a great snapshot that should be sent out as a press release to promote Gridcoin and this new awesome website.
