RE: Burning The Value Into Gridcoin
Exactly! @dutch @limacoin. Sure a private organization/company could set a BOINC server up if they wanted to, but that doesn't guarantee that people would devote processing power to it. Now if they paid to get into the in GRC whitelist, that's a different story. Plenty of people would run the project, especially if you rained GRC to the people who work on it. I still say we add the option for less "noble" projects, if they pay, and the community deems that they're good to do business with.
By less "nobel" I mean private orgs/companies that need the computing power for their own reasons. It would help get Gridcoin's name out their and increase the value of the coin, since we'd be offering a service on top of the currency.
This will never happen, by the very purpose of the whitelist. That being said, it is already possible to rain GRC on crunchers who are doing work on a project outside the whitelist. The only benefit a whitelisted project has is that the blockchain will pay crunchers by minting new GRC.
