I'm hoping that some portion of the mining community will migrate to Gridcoin, where at least the work has some value outside of the token itself. The more scientific computing we can get the better.
(Not that your comment is wrong but one could miss the mention of scientific computing while skimming.)
(Also BOINC and Gridcoin both are open source and needs some love from contributors. I'd like to drop their links for anyone who has free time.
