so here's the tea, and it's genuinely good tea for once: Gridcoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that uses distributed computing (BOINC) to benefit humanity. not even joking. it's out here advancing the progress of medicine, biology, climatology, mathematics, astrophysics, and more. like, more. the list keeps going. main character energy fr fr. 🌸

and the whole aim of the Gridcoin project? iconic, honestly. the goal is to shift the computational power primarily to BOINC projects, whilst the POW mining calculations become a second priority. read that again. POW mining takes the back seat. 🚗

so as the mining network scales up, the network's BOINC contribution is scaled up in tandem. they move together. besties. the way that works is genuinely so satisfying ngl. 🔥
