Greetings all!
I'm always trying to spread the word about BOINC and Gridcoin and shortly after this i'm often get the same questions:
- Why do you crunch so many different projects?
- Why do you crunch SETI?
- Why do you let your old phones crunch?
- Why do you crunch on your home PC?
- Why don't you crunch 24/7?
- Why do you pay so much for electric power and for a GRC Full Node?
- Why you don't trade with Gridcoins?
...that's all so unprofitable, you'll never make a fortune with Gridcoin this way!
Well... i've started with SETI back in the last century when it was only a little screensaver and when ever i had a computer which was able to handle the load - and as long as the machine was able to handle it. SETI was my little "Nerdgasm". ;)
Later the Berkley University came up with BOINC and time after time new projects got added, some which got added by me because they sound interesting for this age old Nerd here.
So the short answer to all the questions above is simple - because i wan't and i don't care that i'll never make a fortune.
In March this year i stumbled over Gridcoin and i was fascinated - a Cryptocurrency which is rewarding me for something i'm already doing and always will do? Great!
That's why i don't care that i will never ever earn enough GRC to break even, let alone making a profit. I see Gridcoin as something that i will hand down (bequeath) to my son.
I'm curious. Are you - dear reader - already crunching with BOINC and earning Gridcoin? And if yes - what's your intention doing so and when did you start?
