Gridcoin-Research Buildscript on Slackbuilds.org

Posted on Oct 22, 2018 by kingbeowulf



Gridcoin-Research is now on the SBo. Gridcoin (GRC) is a cryptocurrency based on bitcoin, but instead of burning up the electrical grid, and requiring banks of GPUs and specialized ASICs, the GRC awards are based on participation in BOINC scientific computing projects. I added a banner link below. Everything a Slackware user needs to build and install should now be on Slackbuilds.org. Please note that GRC Wallet 4.0.0.0 is in is the SBo Approved queue and is a mandatory update. If something is missing to build packages for either GRC or BOINC, please let me know.

Gridcoin: Rewarding Volunteer Distributed Computing

BOINC: Compute for Science

Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing

If you are in interested in exploring cryptocurrency and blockchain, this is a good place to start.
