BOINC x GRC in Malaysia

Despite mainly just running BOINC on my laptop, I'm still in the top 100 BOINCers in Malaysia, which - honestly - is a bit surprising. I've been running BOINC off and on since basically its inception, but my current World ranking is nothing special.

So what I find really curious is that there are a decent number of GRC nodes identified in Malaysia. It fluctuates, of course, as nodes switch from offline to online all the time, but just two days ago there were 19 Gridcoin nodes online in Malaysia.

And the reason I find this curious is, are these nodes actively mining? Or just investors? Cos I don't think there's much value proposition in being just a GRC investor (and I say this as a GRC supporter). And yet, I don't see that many active BOINCers above me in the top 100.

Curious.
