Nice post, RTMoney. I like all your points but this one in particular:


It's been a great project so far. It seems the best is yet to come.

Its basically a new form of PoS, where you will earn GRC based on your BOINC contribution, and maybe some if you don"t contribute (being discussed still).

I think once we have switch to a new reward mechanism, have gone PoR, it should be easy since it will be way easier to run the wallet.

Have a look at the cryptocointalk forum, lots of interesting reads there. Don't lose your faith, we are improving bigtime!!

The order book keeps getting smaller on the sell side and it keeps growing on the buy side, its been 11-12 BTC for a couple weeks and recovers nicely every time someone dumps another 50-100 thousand GRC.  When the wallet is easy for exchanges to add (this is the holdup on the multi-pool btw) and when inflation drops from the current >100% per year to something more in line with 10% per year with the Proof of Research (PoS hybrid) we will see price appreciation.  We will also see an increase in BOINC contribution as we only have 50% going to BOINC with the rest going to hashing currently, that ratio will be closer to 99.99% going to BOINC with the switch.  The test wallet is super easy to setup by comparison with the current production wallet and has cross compatibility making it more accessible to more users.  BOINC contributions will rise and more contributions will more result in more attention, more attention will bring more contributors and there will be a positive feedback for network growth.  Higher volume exchanges will support GRC, lazy GPU miners will be able to multi-pool and provide price pressure, the dumping from miners will slow, price will rise, all this goes into the positive feedback loop.  Not to mention that once the wallet is stable real development can be made on projects that make GRC useful for people outside of crypto, like a commercial BOINC project that uses GRC for a payment method for access to the network.
