The award, by the way, is not trivial. Any nodes that request cashing out their #BOINC awards must pay around 35% tax to the current PoS node. Which is precisely why getting them exclusively by mining takes even longer than expected. #Gridcoin
#Gridcoin has a mix of #ProofOfStake and indirect #ProofOfWork. In order for my node to qualify for one chance of doing PoS a day, I would need around 200 000 GRC, which amounts to either $830 USD, or 240 years of #BOINC grinding in my current computer. Hmm...

At least on my case, contributing to #GridCoin is mostly for the sake of helping the #BOINC project. "Mining" for 3 months, my earnings have been roughly $0.30 for $60 of electricity. But I've submitted truckloads of genome scans to find cancer markers, can't say that's useless!
#GridCoin: because if #cryptocurrency still needs to spend energy into #ProofOfWork, I'd rather have that electricity be spent into investigations on cancer and mathematics, than just playing crypto-bingo! gridcoin.us/ #BOINC
