If you decide to continue I ask you to announce a reasonable amount in advance as to give anyone wanting to fork off time to prepare, I might very well consider joining such an effort as it would line up better with my beliefs.
I hope the maintainers of the masternodes won't vote in favour of this proposal for reasons I have stated and we would be able to find a better way to help scientific research and or pursue other charitable actions.

Sorry to see you go, I take your input very seriously for POL. For DC, your view is too constrained and biased to be taken seriously.
I think you have a certain belief system pegged with DC, and can't really envision it working the way I can.
For example, I think you believe Rosetta is a single "corporate" entity with 500 servers and an IT admin that might jack up his credits in BOINC.
However, its really 1 million global hosts who are taking turns turning in complex folding solutions through BOINC, and BOINC is so huge, as 616W just pointed out, that little tiny fish like us are not going to influence the SQL database. Granted there is an SQL database where credits get updated, but there are over 1 million hosts in it along with us.
What I want to see is the complaint being escalated to me, such as : How are we going to mitigate this particular centralization risk, and then we develop the IT solution that goes in biblepay to combat such issue. To me, the issue is : analyzing the rolled up RAC, Total Credit Delta, Daily dump files, CPIDs, and at worst: putting some type of max CPU count cap on each CPID (so as to prevent one single CPID from hogging more than a 100 machine share), etc.
But to argue that the current status quo with bitcoin is actually better than this is hilarious. In my eyes, this system is so far superior to heat generating mining we should be a clear winner in the mainstream, and as I said on the other thread, pulling this off gives us intrinsic value. And that is important, because if we securely check DC work units, from a black-box point of view, the community is far more valuable than bitcoin.
I can design a system that places a smart contract inside the researchers boinc account once per superblock, I can broadcast a payment from boinc back to biblepay once per day to prove that I am a cancer researcher with a certain UTXO (for example placing a script with UTXOs inside the days
boinc work), I dont really care what it takes, this is a creative effort.
As far as lead time: Im shooting for going live with cancer-mining on March 31st, in Prod. Ill enter the vote for this system before this Saturday.
So you have 50 days notice.
