I don't hold a lot of GRC yet, but I like this coin best out of them all. I started using BOINC long ago but didn't keep at it. Over the years i'd let it run a few months, stop, then try again a year later. I figure if I put some of my cash in it, i'll be more motivated to continue the work and watch GRC grow.
For sure :) I find the hardest thing is to not get addicted to finding more and more devices to BOINC on once you get into it... even my phone crunches while I sleep now, since it's on charge anyway - it might as well be doing something useful!
Thanks for sharing your story - good luck with your future crunching!
