Gridcoin - Weekly project update (wk 27)

Here is another Gridcoin project earnings update, where I look at the project chart developments and highlight an interesting aspect. Today it will be the charts of Collatz Conjecture.

Last week the team RAC for Collatz Conjecture declined by almost 35% while the GRC per 1k system RAC went up with 40% (green circles in 2 charts below).

These changes are caused by WU validation errors across all connected computers and as a result nobody receives credits for performed work currently.

There is no solution cited on the project forum yet so if you don’t want to waste CPU/GPU cycles, it might be worthwhile to crunch a different project for the time being. You can follow the latest developments in two threads (here and here).

And here are the tables and charts for all whitelisted projects.

Definitions

• Recent Average RAC = The total amount of RAC produced by all systems within the Gridcoin network.
• Team RAC vs Overall RAC % = The proportion of RAC output team Gridcoin has produced as part of the overall RAC for the project.
• GRC per 1k system RAC = The amount of GRC you will receive for a system per 1000 RAC points. Example: You have a system which is running Rosetta@home with a RAC value of 3500. According to the chart on 30-Oct, you should gain 3.5 x 0.42 GRC = 1.47 GRC per day for this system.
• USD per 1k system RAC = The amount of USD you will receive for a system per 1000 RAC points. Example: You have a system which is running NFS@Home with a RAC of 4700. According to the chart on 30-Oct, you should gain 4.7 x $0.29= $1.36 per day for this system.

Gridcoin is an open source cryptocurrency (Ticker: GRC) which securely rewards volunteer computing performed upon the BOINC platform in a decentralized manner on top of proof of stake.

BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) is a distributed Internet platform launched beginning of 2002 and rewards participants with credits for performed work. BOINC is an application available for multiple Operating Systems and utilises the unused CPU and GPU cycles on computers to perform scientific work.
