I’m just guessing here, but couldn’t anyone modify the client to give the additional reward without running BOINC? How is this incorporated into the proof of work to prevent counterfeiting?

Actually the dev’s number one priority in any changes he makes is keeping the BOINC authenticity secure. Below is the output of a block’s info that includes a hash for BOINC… as for how the hash is taken I’m not sure since I’m not that fluent in the inner workings of even how cryptocurrencies run in the first place, so you’d have to ask the dev at Cryptocointalk.

Anyways to you guys who wanted to give it a shot and still want to point a card or two at it, some machines do have issues getting it to recognize BOINC, but the suggestions here have cleared up pretty much any issues that came up.[url=http://www.gridcoinnetwork.org/troubleshooting.html]http://www.gridcoinnetwork.org/troubleshooting.html[/url]
