Yes, I saw that. Still, we're doin' good.

I'm part of it too  but price is down 

Yep, and I'm part of it.

Great news, thanks for the giveaways

I'm gonna watch it anyway, could Surprise me.

★★★★★ [TRIPLE GIVEAWAY] - Research Support Coin (RSC) giveaway ★★★★★



GIVEAWAY #1:
Reply to the GIVEAWAY thread at http://altcoingiveaways.com/index.php/topic,1525.0.html with your Ripple address and we'll send you 10 RSC.

To get your reward, you need to:
- create a Ripple wallet (if you don't have one already) at https://ripple.com/and fund it
- open a trust line for RSC to our ripple address rLTSuhKSNaWvGHyRcnTSjms3iFew345SdG
- reply to the GIVEAWAY thread with your Ripple address at: http://altcoingiveaways.com/index.php/topic,1525.0.html

The amount of trust you add limits the amount of RSCs we can send you. If you want to participate in all three giveaways and then continue earning RSCs, we recommend to put some high number, e.g. 10,000,000.

GIVEAWAY #2:
We are giving away 100 RSC to every new participant.

To get this reward, on top of steps in GIVEAWAY #1, you need to:
- register at World Community Grid:  http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/viewRegister.do?teamID=6PWSZF8V32
(if you register via this link, you will be automatically assigned to our WCG team)
or if you already have WCG account, join our team: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=6PWSZF8V32
- register on our website: http://www.researchsupportcoin.org/registration/

After you register, you will automatically get 100 RSC.

GIVEAWAY #3:
When you start donating your unused computing time to research projects via World Community Grid, we will give you additional 200 RSC when your computer will deliver the first result to WCG!

On top of steps in GIVEAWAY #1 and #2, all you need to do is:
- download the BOINC client from World Community Grid: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/ms/viewDownloadAgain.do
and install it. The client will automatically connect to WCG and will start running tasks.

Enjoy

Can't wait

We are planning to start some RSC giveaways within a few days. We will announce them also here, so stay tuned

Will there be some giveaway?

We are growing fast!
During the first week of RSC’s existence, members of our team contributed with about two months of computing time to research projects within the World Community Grid. Now, after two weeks, we are contributing with more than 3 months of computing time DAILY!

We've also created a new page with statistics about RSC distribution, where you can see the global stats and track you daily payments.

I fully agree that it's better to trust only senior forum members. I also have to say though that the number of posts of some user is in no way a measure of trustworthiness, as well as being a new forum member is not a proof of bad intentions.
I know it will take time, but I'm sure that we will earn our reputation.

Regarding the trust lines:
We only ask participants to trust our address with RSC, since there is no other way to make RSC payments. This means that we have no reach to any other currency this person might have in his/her wallet.

i'm all for research and i even threw the idea around in the forum. but i personally, will only join and support an established project endorsed by seti@home, WCG and the like if ever a project decides to issue and distribute tokens based on provable work aka donated computing cycles.

also, read this before opening a trust line in ripple:

It should take a fair amount of effort for newcomers to prove themselves trustworthy. A brand new forum account with a single anonymous post does not and should not engender trust. It should be obvious, but bears repeating anyway, do not add trust lines to address that you do not trust (and don't trust random strangers on a forum!).

   support grid computing research projects (such as those within the World Community Grid) by trying to transfer at least part of the huge computing power wasted to mine other cryptocurrencies to projects which are useful for humanity.
•   support our own research in applied physics by additional funding, which may (or may not) arise from this project
•   support research of other people about whom we know they’re doing a great job

Above all.I think this is obvoious another kenrende project. Be careful guys

It is a currency within the Ripple network, which is run by Ripple Labs. You can learn more about Ripple in this introductory document by Ripple Labs: https://ripple.com/ripple_primer.pdf
We are in no affiliation with Ripple Labs.

So, it's a centralised crypto, who pays for the network and how?

Normally there's no mining of Ripple-based currencies and they are technically all 100% premined (in terms of bitcoin derivatives).
However, we are distributing RSCs based on the amount of computing power contributed to grid computing research projects, so it can be considered as mining. And similarly as for bitcoin and similar coins, the "difficulty" is increasing, since the amount of RSC paid for given amount of computing "work" is decreasing each day. The difference is that this "mining" is actually useful, not just wasted electricity.

based on Ripple, meaning there is NO mining, correct?

We are already helping science!

During the first week of the Research Support Coin’s existence, members of our team have already contributed with more than two months of computing time to research projects within the World Community Grid. Most of this computing time (37 days) has been used to help researchers identify new cancer markers. For their contribution, we have already paid the participants over 2700 RSC.

We would like to thank all members of the Research Support Coin team at the WCG for their help.
