Great post! Being a very "young" steemit writer, I've come to appreciate the huge amount of preparation and work that goes into an article of this caliber. Thank you for your hard work! Also

Haha, for me tequila kills the entire weekend even without the vodka or the beer. The wallet is looking much sexier now. Perhaps just mark all the unknowns as 'Mined'?

Me too, to be honest :) I find writing about this to be surprisingly addictive, my fingers are already itching to start typing the end-of-week 1 report. See you in a couple of days.

Thanks! #boinc seems appropriate. As for #science, I find it a little too self-appreciative. The real science is done by the people developing BOINC, the research projects and Gridcoin itself, I'm just

I'm sorry, it seems that steemit has this bug where sarcasm tags don't work correctly [/s] Well, if my joke wasn't obvious in the first place, it will become evident when I publish the results. I might

Thank you for the encouragement. Who knows, maybe you others decide to follow the same approach and do a report of their own. I'd love to see a similar posts series on a more powerful setup (for example

Wow, that's the nicest thing a korean bot ever said to me ! :D Just kidding, I would definitely follow if I could read the language.

Thank you all! That was a very nice welcome. Gridcoin community really rocks! As for the pool research, I'm still trying out options of course. I don't have a lot of horsepower behind it, for now I'm following

Fairly new user here (<1 month), 1 GRC would be a quarter of what I got from grcpool so far, so definitely not insignificant to me. S4EGhqJZ6ep6JrjSMYCMFiaNoq4A1kVoEL Thanks!

I got my first ~0.1 GRC ever from Gridcoin.ch, so here's my tiny puny 1 cent steemit vote as a thank you to the community. Happy boincing eveyone!

This seems like a great idea! It got me thinking one step further about having a small preconfigured virtual machine that I could quickly move to any of my computers and continue CPU crunching from where

I was able to get the snapshot correctly using the Download blocks command from the new client v 3.7.7.0, it's all in sync for the past 3-4 hrs. Thanks for the great work!

Great stuff! I updated the client (no fresh install needed, just ran the .msi), got the snapshot through regular Download Blocks command and everything seems to be in sync for the past 3 hours. For faster
