Happy New Year 2018 and Celebrating achieving 2,000,000,000 cobblestones on BOINC

in #gridcoin7 years ago

I just passed the 2B milestone on BOINC right before the New Year. In celebration I have rained 2000 GRC to all active GRC researchers that have an address in the latest magnitude report. The GRC was rained in proportion to payment magnitude.

I was wondering where that rain came from! Thank you for your generousity towards the community, and a massive congrats on the 2 billion cobblestones! =)

How long have you been involved with BOINC? Are you one of the SETI fossils that walk among us too?

Yes indeed! I started July 28, 1999 on the original pre-BOINC SETI client! :)

Oh wow - that's awesome! I was just a wee 7 year old back then.

Can't image the pain of running a distributed compute network on 90s dial-up...

IIRC I had just gotten DSL at the time, replacing dual channel ISDN. :)

Congratulations!

Happy New Year and some great discoveries in 2018!

Awesome, congrats on achieving such a milestone! And thanks for the rain!

Grats! And thanks for the rain. I had been looking for a post about it since I received it. Very generous of you.

I am sitting at only ~30 million credits, mostly on Universe@Home. 2 billion is very impressive.
