Over the last three months I worked several evenings on the Gridcoin Technical Whitepaper. I worked mostly alone, but the result is still a community work because I sourced many pieces from all around the web:
The whitepaper was compiled with MikTex 2.9, and the result is visible here:
https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Whitepaper/blob/master/gridcoin-research-whitepaper.pdf
created the Whitepaper github repository:

If you have corrections or extensions, you can either checkout the github repository and do a pull request or ask to write permission for the github repository or you can simply write in the comments below. I will implement changes evening by evening.
