Gridcoin Community Hangout #012

A massive shout out to the BeyondBitcoin community & Hive account@officialfuzzy for providing the Gridcoin community a room in their mumble server for free.

Another massive thanks to Hive account@peppernrino for editing the hangout recordings, without him the released hangout recordings would be slow and of poor quality.

What is Gridcoin?

Gridcoin securely rewards BOINC computation on top of Proof of Stake. Reward allocation is distributed, not centralized unlike other distributed computing related cryptocurrencies.

010 RSVP & Topic suggestion thread

Why are we holding these hangouts?

• A mumble conference call can provide significant advantages over communicating via forums and IRC.
• To create opportunities to inform the public of new Gridcoin, BOINC and related services & their development progress.
• To bridge relations between the cryptocurrency & BOINC communities.

How long will the hangout last?

If there are not many topics suggested then hangouts won't last longer than an hour, on the other hand if there are many topic suggested then the hangout may last 2-3 hours!

When the Gridcoin Community Hangouts start really picking up traction we can become more strict with allocated speaking time if need be (so you're not waiting hours to talk).

Want to suggest a topic to discuss?

Reply with your suggestions in this Steem post & order of discussion will be from highest to lowest voted suggestions.

Can we discuss anything?

It's advisable to stay generally on topic, attendees are distributed around the world so they may not (likely won't) share the same views regarding controversial topics not related to Gridcoin/BOINC/Cryptocurrency.

That said, this 'on topic' guideline fizzles away once official recording has ended & the hangout becomes a more relaxed environment.

How are this post's rewards distributed?

50% of author rewards are liquid SBD, we will distribute 10% to myself and Hive account@peppernrino for providing resources and editing work, the other 90% will be distributed to those who attended hangouts (we may break this down further to only those who talked in the future, this is still to be worked out!).

We will also be distributing GRC onto attendees/speakers in the future, if you plan on attending, RSVP and provide your GR C address, otherwise payments may be delayed/skipped!
