Gridcoin Community Hangout #008 (RSVP & Suggest topics)
Gridcoin Community Hangout #008
A massive shout out to the BeyondBitcoin community & @officialfuzzy for providing the Gridcoin community a room in their mumble server for free.
Another massive thanks to @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.

007 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?
The first 3 hangouts lasted 2.5 to 3 hours, with a bit of time beforehand and a few hours of unrecorded hangout time afterwards. The 4th, 5th and 6th hangouts lasted approx 1.5hrs.
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.

Topic suggestion:
News regarding the GRIDCOIN MPA on the BTS DEX.
Perhaps we should discuss ways of improving Gridcoin presence on Steemit? It's becoming quite popular and we are getting some really good attention here. I can see that a lot of well-known Gridcoiners have joined up. Besides upvoting, there is now this new 'resteem" feature and maybe we could even spend some Foundation coins into promoting our content here?
You could resteem the Gridcoin Weekly posts, latest at https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@sc-steemit/gridcoin-weekly-6-week-38
I did, but unfortunately my reach is limited because I don't have that many followers and most of them are Gridcoin members anyway. You guys who have more followers , your resteems are much more valuable and have a much greater chance of actually reaching some new members, beyond our usual circle.
It was directed to everyone as a suggestion on what could be done to increase the exposure on Steemit, not just to you vortac :)
I agree. Gridcoin 24h trending list is empty for two days now. Better to resteem past popular articles than to leave it that way. But maybe other members don't think so.
Topic suggestion:
Splash screen contest voting reminder.
A current status of the Splash Screen contest will be in this weeks Gridcoin Weekly. I will make the charts for the hangout tonight so we can discuss the current results.
Current Results:
Please Note - Total Shares are based on UNIQE Voter. The total Shares will be higher in total if you sum the chart since you can vote on multiple choices. The reason for this is to make it easier to see how big voting base we have in the community based on total shares.
