Fediverse presence · Issue #257 · gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Tasks
A volunteer is ready to run a social media profile for Gridcoin on Mastodon, requests advice from the community.
Its a cryptocurrency right? So it has zero utility and exists to move money from people to the founders?
While other cryptocurrencies reward bruteforcing hashes (PoW) or hoarding lots of coins (PoS), this one rewards actually useful computing, which is great.
“We arent like every other cryptocurrency ever”
k
the website literally shows proof of stake on the homepage.
So your very first comment in defence of gridcoin is to just outright lie?

The boinc project, which gridcoin is mainly connected to, exists for decades, the concept is great an the scientific results are verifiable, so of course gridcoin is somhow different in that connection. PoS on the other hand is very common but i dont think thats the point here. I get it that you dont like the concept of cryptocurrency, but i think you oversimplify things a bit
Why does a successful decade old project, which like you say has great scientific results, need a cryptocurrency slapped on the side? What problem does that even solve?
except moving real money from A to to B in exchange for monopoly money?
