Gridcoin Community Hangout #011 (RSVP & Suggest topics)
Gridcoin Community Hangout #011
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.

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?
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.

I'll be talking about Gridcoin and BOINC during friday's BeyondBitcoin hangout: https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@officialfuzzy/guest-signups-beyond-bitcoin-hangout-177-10-14-16-rsvp-to-friday-s-hangout-guest-speakers-reward-payouts-inside#@cm-steem/re-officialfuzzy-guest-signups-beyond-bitcoin-hangout-177-10-14-16-rsvp-to-friday-s-hangout-guest-speakers-reward-payouts-inside-20161010t172206435z
Nice, I hope to be able to listen in live as you do :D
I'll be listening in as well.
Topic suggestion: Continuing to bring attention to the proposed BOINC Workshop in 2017!
https://steemit.com/boinc/@cm-steem/boinc-workshop-proposed-for-early-2017
Do you think we should propose a foundation expense to help cover BOINC Workshop expenses?
Say a few thousand dollars worth of GRC?
Foundation proposal: Raining GRC onto active community members (for work done/social media presence)

https://twitter.com/customminer/status/786331282938601473
I would say this needs to be discussed. If we had bounties for GRC promotion and community work we might have a more active member base. People like getting rewarded for their efforts.
OK, let's do a trial run this weekend with gathering Mumble attendee's GRC addresses.
Everyone who is planning on attending episode #011, please reply to this comment with your GRC address!

[Gridcoin Poll] What is your opinion on the mandatory team Gridcoin requirement?

Topic #1:
I found this seller on Fiverr who does this great puppet videos. I was thinking we could use foundation funds to do an educational video series for Gridcoin? What do you guys think about this idea? Fiverr can be funded with Bitcoin as well.

Topic #2:
We could also look at purchasing some Gridcoin review videos on Fiverr. Some review sellers also upload their reviews to their own YouTube channels and that could be a great way to spread the Gridcoin message on YouTube.
This guy looks like a good candidate: https://www.fiverr.com/ivannicholo/create-an-amazing-video-product-review-on-hd
I like the idea of the puppet adverts, he does short bursts though 200 word increments for $5 is pretty good. Could create BOINC competition announcements with puppets.. lol!
A Gridcoin review would be pretty cool.
Topic suggestion: Reaching out to Suchflex, Gridrepublic and Boincstats on Twitter to aid in the development of an open source Gridcoin pool kit.
