RE: The potential for GameCredits

in #gaming7 years ago

OK so Im shamelessly jumping on your post to promote another coin, but hear me out for a second. No disrespect for gamecredits its an interesting idea, but we need to help gamers earn more from their rigs.

Thats where #Gridcoin comes in, you can CPU mine Gridcoin while you are playing games, this presents no competition to Scrypt mining gamecredits at all, if anything its a synergy.

The reason you can profitably CPU mine Gridcoin, is because you arent hashing at all, you are doing real scientific work, like searching for disease cures (childhood cancers, AIDS, Ebola), searching for ET with the SETI program, doing particle physics at the Large Hadron Collider, finding new massive prime numbers and much, much more. You can use GPUs too, but they dont compete with CPUs, so CPU mining is not made impossible/unprofitable.

Gridcoin has been around for years, and its going through somewhat of a renaissance. In fact if you are a gamer, you may actually see using Gridcoin as a game in itself, optimising your mining is quite an art form, there is a real competitive edge too. Throught the year team Gridcoin goes up against other teams to see who can process the most work in specific timescales, there is strategy and tactics in winning these challenges, and bragging rights are everything.
