RE: Gridcoin Team - Latest look at the BOINC stats: RAC Increases by 45% in a few months
Can you point me to a place to get started with gridcoin? I'm already supporting BOINC and have a computer with spare resources that are just looking for a place to get spent.
Thanks,
NL
Cool, if you are already BOINCing then Gridcoin isnt too hard.
Go to www.gridcoin.us and download the wallet, it needs to download the block-chain once its installed. Then figure out if you want to pool mine or solo mine; if you dont want the hassle of buying about 2000GRC then pool mine, if you are happy to buy-in then solo is better.
Depending on which way you go with that descision effects the rest of the setup process, but its all there on the main website.
The good news is Gridcoin uses only a tiny bit of the CPU and only on 1 computer, so 99% of your BOINCing remains on doing science.
Great thanks! Sounds like my project for over Christmas has been decided.
Cheers,

If you get stuck plenty of nice people on here, Reddit, IRC, Slack etc.
I would encourage you to try and buy a little GRC, because it gives you the experience you need if you ever wanted to sell some... finding an exchange etc.
