CPUCoin to Recompense Individuals With Crypto for Unutilized Processing Power

CPUcoin has partnered with BOINC to recompense volunteers for making available unutilized processing power for COVID research.

CPUcoin is now collaborating with Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC), a forum for the scaling and delivery of decentralized networks and applications.

The partnership is the latest coronavirus-fighting initiative. Volunteers offering researchers their available unutilized processing power will be rewarded with crypto-currency.

Dr. David P. Anderson, director of the BOINC project, reported in a press release from CPUcoin that:

“Combining cryptocurrency mining and scientific computing – in this case, to accelerate COVID-19 research – can be a big win for computer owners, for scientists, and ultimately for everyone.”

The unutilized processing power will be allocated to the IBM World Community Grid and will support the projects Rosetta@home.

The IBM World Community Grid is one of the largest computing grids devoted to the advancement of global science, such as seeking a cure for coronavirus.

Rosetta@home is also a computer grid on the BOINC network which focuses on predictions of the protein structure.

After every support from CPU/GPU, volunteers will receive a utility token from CPUcoin which can be exchanged on ProBit Exchange for Bitcoin or any Altcoin.

COVID-19 Research
This advancement will come two months after giant gaming and trading chipmaker, NVIDIA, has asked gamers to help COVID-19 researchers by offering any unutilized processing power.

Stopping COVID-19 spread goes beyond putting on a mask. We must support vital research aimed at preventing and treating this disease.

CPUcoin does so by encouraging existing BOINC clients and CPUcoin Miners to focus on the current available Covid-19 research projects, Rosetta@home and IBM World Community Grid, “said Sean Barger, CPUcoin’s Managing Director.
