I put that here in case others that are interested in the subject but haven't necessarily heard about BOINC and gridcoin stop by. I'm a big fan and would like to see them succeed in the long run so I use any reasonable opportunity to give them a mention :)

I think I have in the neighborhood of $70-$80 worth of gridcoin but it has all been "mined" doing what I would be doing anyway so I'm pretty happy about that.
