RE: One Billion MilkyWay@Home Credits or How Did We Get To Know That Galaxy is Rippled
rather than looking at altruism why don't you mine the most profitable PoW coin and then support the Boinc / gridcoin network with your earned money? Wouldn't it be more helpful from a strict economical sense? if the reward is the same between the highest reward pow coin and the boinc projects, hashes will go towards the most profitable. And this is fact.
I prefer my account and name associated with scientific discoveries and breakthroughs rather than with some crappy hashes.
yeah but with a more efficient way of making money you could buy gridcoins and support more efficient miners ;).
They don't need my support, BOINC had millions of users before Bitcoin was even invented. If all PoW coins magically disappeared tonight, BOINC would carry on as usual tomorrow (and would probably grow much faster afterwards). It's the PoW miners who need computational science and distributed computing for solving some major problems of the modern world today, not the other way around.
