RE: My new BOINC/Gridcoin machine! Proof-of-Work free, computational science only

in #gridcoin6 years ago (edited)

Once I thought of building a monster like this one. But then compare the computing power to a few of lesser PCs and he loses )

I end up by renting the power in DC. Such a way it provides power to my apps and DBs with crypto data and you could simple double your power in times of BOINC challenges like Pentathlon.

Also if invested that money in STEEM and use reward cash-flow to rent the computing power is a way of free boincing 24/7

You are right, for the cost of this machine, you can build ten "lesser PCs" and have at least 5x bigger total BOINC output. But high-end gear is always more captivating :)

2-CPUs server Xeon maybe? )
512 Gb of RAM. STEEM full node as a bonus.
