@cm-steem of Gridcoin
What is Gridcoin?
Gridcoin (Ticker: GRC) is a decentralized, open source math-based digital asset (cryptocurrency). It performs transactions peer-to-peer cryptographically without the need for a central issuing authority.
Gridcoin was the first block chain protocol that delivered a working algorithm that equally rewards and cryptographically proves solving BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) hosted work, which can be virtually any kind of distributed computing process (GPU/CPU/Sensor/Etc).
BOINC is an open-source volunteer oriented computing grid that combines the processing power of all individual users for the purposes of scientific research. It's free, and harnesses the unused clock cycles from processors and graphics cards to attempt to cure cancer/aids/ebola/malaria, map the milkyway, crack enigma codes, etc..
Gridcoin rewards BOINC computation using the Distributed Proof of Research (DPOR) reward mechanism, which is a combination of Proof of BOINC (POB) and Proof of Stake (POSv2).
Proof of Work (POW) consensus mechanisms are not utilised by the Gridcoin network, making the Gridcoin cryptocurrency network far more energy efficient than any existing POW cryptocurrencies.

Well thanks @officialfuzzy for the shout out. Also we are now over 90% funded https://steemit.com/zappl/@zappl/zappl-is-over-90-funded-less-then-3800-zappl-left
Hey just a side question is the zappl in yobit.net real I have spent a bit on that site just wondering if those coins are just scams?
We have no connection to yobit.net what so ever and have only issued zappl on bitshares. Now if someone bought them and listed them there that's something we currently aren't aware of. Do you mind sharing a link please.
Ooooo dang :/
I suspect scam but i dont know yobit. Maybe someone bought them from bts dex and added there...but doubtful.
Just goes to show how appearing on BeyondBitcoin does wonders for your project, eh? :D
Yeah it would appear so.
I concur! This is great @officialfuzzy thank you for getting us to the position we needed to get to!
Thats what its all about! But couldnt do anything without an amazing community!
THANKS A THOUSAND, once again, for this remarkable update on seriously good projects for us all! The future is in our hands right now and I'm glad you are helping us all grab on to it and run with it! All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
