This is a false dichotomy. Plenty of people do whole foods plant-based diets without those. Additionally, it's also often replacing highly processed meats

If you keep emitting that methane, then it continues to persist and leads to problems with climate change. Unfortunately this can only reduced a bit with changes to farming practices in the meat industry > people that argue that we shoul

It is worth noting that this doesn't just look at things in the 90's, but goes all the way out to 2011

Worth pointing out that the energy may matter more on a per mass basis than strictly per volume in some applications. By looking at MJ/kg, Hydrogen even beats out gasoline[1] although that's not the case for per unit volume[2] Spe

I think for cars that's probably the case, but that might be too focused on cars. A possible future for it might be for large planes, boats, etc. that would really need the higher energy density of hydrogen vs batteries. The inefficien

Firefox has this too. You can do it the network tab[1] or in the Responsive Design Mode[2]. There's drop downs there where you can control how much you want to throttle [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs&

The devs have mostly not sold coins. See for instance one of the core devs, Jim Owens, who still has over a million Gridcoin and continues to run BOINC and earn more from even just that (and has been running BOINC since BOINC started over 1

I'm not sure that the second option is a very pythonic way to do it, but that's subjective of course. I'd imagine the original commenter views using a lot of ifs and elifs as the pythonic way to do it

Developers are not making any new Gridcoin. The only compensation the developers get is through transactions from the foundation address[1] which only gets and has gotten coins from 1) people sending coins to it and 2) the one time transact

That is not what I said at all. Those are your own words. I've already explained in that thread why the "no one would actually pay for" part is false as well, and you are mixing up different things here. No new coins are mint

Ah yeah I should have mentioned that its PoS and that PoR is not really a thing anymore[1]. It's proof of stake that makes the actual blocks. The research rewards are just added on top of staking. Even all the project just suddenly shu

I also realized that I should have mention that I'm not sure you could always identify which tasks were the checks you were looking for For that scenario you mentioned, you'd not get any more tasks, as projects have limits on how

by roboticmind 6y ago
It's worth noting that one project only accounts for 1/19th of the current rewards for research and 0 of the rewards for staking. They do not have near complete control of the monetary supply. As well, as more projects are added t

I agree with the other commenters that the best way to get an idea of it is to look at it yourself. It's hard to trust people in general, so that's why I left it in for more transparency. I think that's an issue that goes to

If someone has the level of processing power to get a majority of a project's tasks, I think it would go very quickly noticed, and the project admin can just up their task validation higher making it much harder (e.g send to 4 random c

I think you may be missing what Gridcoin is doing. It is not going to the scientists themselves, but the people using their computers to help scientists. As well, I believe many of the projects Gridcoin rewards are grant funded (separate fr

Since I last used it, it looks like there has been a lot of work on manim in the community fork [1]. It used to definitely be a fair amount of work to figure things out, but it looks like things are easier now. I remember having to dig thro

I just want to note that I meant originally for the 5.0.0 work the developers didn't request compensation, and so it hasn't been sent just yet since it the request was recent. It has nothing to do with being paid in Gridcoin or no

by roboticmind 6y ago
Maybe backed was a bad word to use. I more just meant that it's creation is linked with scientific work having been done. That it has a value linked to helping science - not a direct one to one thing you can exchange for helping scienc

That's correct that the requirement to be on team Gridcoin was removed in 5.0.0. You can now earn Gridcoin from any BOINC team. The manual rewards claim is still in the works although there's now some more specific plans in mind [

Ah that makes more sense I see using it a currency backed by scientific work is already something that makes using it unique and can make people interested in accepting it and use it. I see that you don't view it the same way, but that

Originally the main developers didn't request any compensation for this, but yes they will be compensated in Gridcoin. The reason for this is partly that Gridcoin is really community run and doesn't have much USD or other fiat jus

I'd agree that it is more centralized than I'd like, but it doesn't defeat the whole point. Gridcoin has a different purpose than most cryptocurrencies. It rewards science and is more decentralized than most coins that try si

It's worth noting that a lot of work (4500+ hours in ten months of development and testing[1]) has been put into a massive rewrite of the wallet in 5.0.0. The wallet is a lot more stable than it was when you last used it, the GUI is mu

For those reading and not familiar with Gridcoin and BOINC, I should note that BOINC is separate from Gridcoin. The threads about BOINC are indeed related, but about a slightly different topic. Just wanted to note that since I have seen som
