As previously stated here
Grcpool is also rewarding crunchers with SPARC an erc-20 token but you cant withdraw ATM, "MyEtherWallet" accepts the token if you want to know where to withdraw to.
The SPARC site is working if you take the html off you dont get the 404 error so go here the correct link to see what their about.
And they also posted here
About their soft launch and whatnot.
Go here to sign up, it wasnt that difficult to register my cpid, their instructions are clear, im currently waiting to see if they do backpay of credits ive gotten or credits i get from today forward.
It also seems like they are trying to do something similar to Golem with buying compute power, as well, but hey! at least those not on team gridcoin can earn something for their volunteer work [hopefully we'll see]
Hopefully im not posting about something thats already been discussed, just trying to put out more information, hope it helps!
Edit!
Here is what grcpool operator said about SPARC withdrawls
"Sorry I can't provide an exact timing. SPARC looks like they are very much in flux right now. There was no SPARC payout this week so far as they haven't distributed any yet. But it looks like they are very active on updating things. The rub here on paying out from the pool is I will need to collect a real fee to cover my ETH gas to send out SPARC. This is easiest on everybody I think if I use GRC from the pool as a fee. There is some solid work that would need to be done to support auto payouts of SPARC and I don't want to waste the time if SPARC just falls apart. If somebody really wants their SPARC, I am happy to send it to them if they cover the gas for it via GRC or whatever. They would just need to email me. Pool 1 and 3 also did not get their SPARC payout last week, but Pool 2 did."
If you dont know what Gridcoin/GRC is learn here its great! awesome! and rewarding!
And if you have a spare vote go here and vote for me as a witness
