It will never work. Bit Coins have an extremely complicated system so that they cannot be counterfeited. BSE credits have 0 security. I'll sell you mine. Then, as a project admin, I'll just run the query "update user set total_credit = total_credit + 1,000,000,000 where id=1" and then I'd have a billion more to sell you. Plus, who would buy them and why? Unlike Bit Coins which get harder and harder to mine, BOINC credits get easier and easier to earn as processors get faster and faster. So whatever value a credit might have now, it would be worth less in the future. That's just the rules of supply and demand. And finally, I'll give Al McAdams a & for his 6 . Anyone want to out bid me?
