I suppose some things may be changed along the way, this thing just started so I am sure there is plenty of room for improvement, but the most important thing is for this coin to get acceptance from everyone. Imagine how much power is on Bitcoin and Litecoin. Imagine if even a portion of that is used for this coin. How much more computing power will be available to researchers at these universities. We can have major scientific breakthroughs in a short time. Every single person on the planet can benefit.

Well, Good Luck with it.
Like I said it sounds like a good idea adding BOINC but I always question peoples motives when they want to do good for others/society/mankind, maybe I am just an arsehole.
I don't think this is the first coin to implement the idea.
Here a few links that might interest you:

I'm running the GUIminer scrypt, and I keep getting the error:
Here I sit thinking I'm tech savvy :| Never before have I felt this stupid in front of my own PC.
Are you currently mining? Any clue to my problem?

Yeah I did restart, several times now. I'm sure I'm just missing something. What's the purpose of all the AMD SDK/Drivers if my GPU is NVidia?
EDIT: I don't want to derail the thread and turn it into a troubleshoot session! I registered on https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/464-gridcoin-grc/ so I can solve my issues there. Thanks guys!

I posted a link to a petition to get Gridcoin accepted on one of the cryptocoin exchanges. You can sign it here. You just have to leave a comment. No forms or anything like that.

For those struggling to set it up, just follow this guide: http://www.gridcoinnetwork.org/setup.html
It's fairly straightforward. I've never done anything like this before, but I just followed step by step and everything is running smoothly.
