My only regret is that I bought in ca. 25€ in Ǥ at the all-time high period on top of losing approx. 30 - 50€ in Bitcointransaction fees when I tried to daytrade -because I used the wrong exchange. :D

This is an opportunity to buy back in maybe it will fall to 8 $-cts? I do not think that it will go to the good old days of 1 €-ct. ;)

Anyways: Gridcoin is a ridiculous coin if you consider that by now there are 3000+ cryptocurrencies and it's still worth around 40-60 Million $ depending on the day. It's ranked in the 200s nowadays.
Still it's one of the few coins where I can see interesting technology. The promise of Proof of Research / Proof of BOINC -although of course from a technology standpoint proof is maybe a little bit too strong a word here- was always to stop the waste of electricity cryptocurrencies tend to be.
They still are wasting a lot of electricity! So the initial goal is still worth going after.

When it comes to so many coins there is not a lot novelty or any unique selling point involved. Gridcoin is different. If the community can stay on good terms with it's original developer Rob Halförd I think the future is bright.

Until vanilla Bitcoin has not been mined to completion for me personally there won't be any interesting fork of the Bitcoin blockchain.

My price target is 1(long term goal)-5$(highest ever) per Ǥ.
