BOINC development status report: January 2025

The award, by the way, is not trivial. Any nodes that request cashing out their #BOINC awards must pay around 35% tax to the current PoS node. Which is precisely why getting them exclusively by mining takes even longer than expected. #Gridcoin

#Gridcoin has a mix of #ProofOfStake and indirect #ProofOfWork. In order for my node to qualify for one chance of doing PoS a day, I would need around 200 000 GRC, which amounts to either $830 USD, or 240 years of #BOINC grinding in my current computer. Hmm...

At least on my case, contributing to #GridCoin is mostly for the sake of helping the #BOINC project. "Mining" for 3 months, my earnings have been roughly $0.30 for $60 of electricity. But I've submitted truckloads of genome scans to find cancer markers, can't say that's useless!

#GridCoin: because if #cryptocurrency still needs to spend energy into #ProofOfWork, I'd rather have that electricity be spent into investigations on cancer and mathematics, than just playing crypto-bingo! gridcoin.us/ #BOINC

@Alice Something like #GridCoin, but for #RetroAchievements? retroachievements.org/

#BOINC project #Universe@home has been placed on the #Gridcoin greylist today due to low work availability.

#BOINC project #GPUGrid has been removed from the #Gridcoin greylist today and is again eligible for GRC rewards

Know somebody with C++ experience? Our bounty on changes to the #Gridcoin wallet software has increased to $500. Help users engage with scientific research and get paid at the same time https://github.com/TheSCInitiative/bounties/issues/10

The petals distributed AI network now has an unofficial windows installer! This is a powerful tool which enables anybody to run #LLM models on a public volunteer network. SCI paid out a $200 bounty today plus $90 worth of #gridcoin for the creation of the installer. #petalsml #petals #distributed #AI https://github.com/TheSCInitiative/bounties/issues/16

Excited to see #Gridcoin adding sidestaking to the GUI. This will make it easier for users to donate a portion of their staking proceeds to #desci projects like #sidock which accept sidestakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy1f5lT71Rk

Anybody have a download url for a current gridcoin snapshot (no testnet) ? Or maybe can provide it ?

Had an outage and must start from scratch.... now with peer synching....

@stfn @AenBleidd A few weeks ago my last client died (Raspberry Pi 4), because the sd card broke (this time it was an expensive one) and I think it's pretty common sd card break if you run #boinc 24/7.

I had #gridcoin on this client, too. It is a crypto currency, which rewards people who are crunching boinc, instead of doing useless hash calculations like #bitcoin

But because I see it as a waste of resources, I will not revive this project yet.

I might do it if I will find the time and if the community will support it, too, with the exception that I will buy only used hardware, because buying new hardware (even the solar panels and battery) for this project isn't sustainable at all.

Imagine a fleet of used mini computers / old hardware crunching for science with alternative energy. 😮

Le #Gridcoin $GRC est une #cryptomonnaie qui rémunère la participation volontaire à des calculs scientifiques... Pour que la #science infuse ! 🧪🔬 https://journalducoin.com/actualites/gridcoin-cryptomonnaie-science/

I always kinda wonder why #gridcoin hasn't gained much tractions instead of those #bullshit #cryptos and #ERC-20 #tokens...

Could have used the processing power for something useful like helping a #BOINC project...

@tomek jakby nie patrzeć to opiera się na zużyciu energii - i do produkcji tych pierdyliardów dysków i do ich pracy. I to samo z RAM'em. Gdyby jeszcze premiowane było przechowanie jakiś potrzebnych/sensownych danych to bym zrozumiał. Albo zużywanie energii na obliczenia które czemuś służą. Tak jak np #gridcoin (oparty na projekcie #boinc)

@celia Something like #Gridcoin which performs societally useful computations, for research, medicine, etc.
