Around 7pm UTC, a significant amount of Gridcoin was distributed among crunchers of the projects YAFU and DrugDiscovery@home through the rain system. Anyone running these projects with a non-zero RAC should have received some GRC in their wallets. If you are part of the pool, you can expect a disproportionally large payout for your work on these two projects.
Project Rain: yafu (Amount 3426.83535 GRC )
Project Rain: drugdiscovery@home (Amount 2533.0784 GRC )
This system is integrated into the Gridcoin wallet GUI, and allows anyone to distribute GRC to the workforce of a scientific project based on their individual RAC contributions. It enables project admins to get more than their baseline share of the Team Gridcoin compute power by incentivising more computers to run their work units. I view this as the biggest value proposition Gridcoin brings to the table.
This rain is a chance for us to support the projects who provide rain or have been rained on. Lets all point some extra compute to YAFU and DD@H to show our appreciation and encourage continued use of the rain functionality.
If I missed any other projects that were rained on, let me know and I will add them!
Remember that is providing a 10,000 GRC rain to the project GPUGrid on New Years Eve to celebrate reaching 3 billion BOINC credits as announced here! To earn your part of this reward, simply point your GPU at GPUGrid between now and New Years Eve.
