The following guides explain how to set up the Gridcoin Research wallet client on the platform of your choice.
If you want to run Gridcoin in investor-mode only, you do not need to install the BOINC client. In this case, you will only earn POS interest and not recieve DPOR payments due to a lack of BOINC research. The amount and frequency of interest depends on the quantity of coins you are holding in your wallet/client.
Once the client launches, a prompt will request an email address - do not enter an email address, rather click the 'Cancel' button and proceed past any additional prompts.
If you're not interested in earning POS rewards, you can use several third party Gridcoin wallets to hold your GRC off centralized exchanges.
