Contribute To Medical Research With BANANO

Earn BANANO By Contributing To Medical Research

Some weeks ago I came across Banano, a meme coin forked from Nano.
Initially I just went "pass" in the back of my mind until I saw they're using folding@home to support Medical Research by assigning "miners" unused CPU/GPU processing power to analyse data assigned in Work Units (WU) known as folding.
Contributors are rewarded with $BAN for completing Work Units.

"Folding refers to the way human protein folds in the cells that make up your body. We rely on the proteins to keep us healthy and they assemble themselves by folding. But when they misfold, there can be serious consequences to a person’s health."

From folding@home

What The Fork?

Being a fork of Nano, Banano inherits the technologies found in the Nano blockchain;

Block-latice (dubbed block-lettuce), a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based architecture enabling each individual account to be assigned its own blockchain otherwise known as an account chain resulting in near instant P2P transactions with ZERO-FEES.

@bananocurrency offers an opportunity to be compensated for contributing to a great cause and creates a fun environment for everyone. They're also developing a privacy layer dubbed Camo Banano

Faucets, games, miners and wallets can be found here

Note: $BAN can be stored on a Ledger device and managed with Bananovault, installing the Banano app requires the Nano app to be installed too. I wish I was told this weeks ago!.

Awesome post about BAN. It's one of the first cryptos I bought when starting out. Have you played 'Black Monkey'game yet? I'm not sure when the next round is, but they post about it on their social. It's a great way to earn some free BAN quickly & easily.

Thank you.

Yes, i have played it a few times. It gets surprisingly tricky after a while, very entertaining for what it is as well! 😅

Banano is all well functioning crypto, but I am fed up with mining or folding, too little reward for electricity cost

[lieutenantrekt]

I get what you're saying and i agree. You could get a lot more in a day by playing BlackMonkey.

I keep folding though because i like helping a good cause. 😊
