Thumbs up! I just saw the first comment added to the article in the Frankurter Allgemeine (which is a very respectable financial newspaper in Germany).

I took the freedom to add the translation of the German text in English below:

As a real alternative GRIDCOIN should not be forgotten. GRIDCOIN has been linked to the BOINC Distributed Computer Network, and BOINC is performing real scientific computer simulations in many different scientific areas instead of useless hash tasks:

To name a few:

• SETI is looking for extraterrestrial life
• GPUGRID performs biomedical simulations
• WORLDCOMMUNITYGRID is looking for, among others. after a Zika and AIDS vaccine,
• and there are many other projects waiting for more computer power!

Everyone can join in with their computer and graphics card!

GRIDCOIN is also a real alternative, because the power consumed by computer simulations does not simply evaporate, but solves real scientific problems of our time.

And if the whole cryptocurrency boom turns out to be only a market bubble, at least new scientific insights will remain for mankind!
