Gridcoin

Setup

Gridcoin is a free open source project derived from Bitcoin, with the goal of providing a long-term energy-efficient cryptocurrency, rewarding BOINC work. Built on the foundation of Bitcoin, PPCoin and NovaCoin, innovations such as proof-of-stake help further advance the field of cryptocurrency. The Gridcoin Client downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Gridcoin transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Gridcoin, visit gridcoin.us.
