Gridcoin Community Hangout #030 - 13th May 2017 @ 9PM GMT (RSVP & Suggest topics!)
Gridcoin Community Hangout #030
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! Follow him on Steem! :D
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.

Past episode details
029 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 topics 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.
Proposed time for Gridcoin Hangout #030:
9PM GMT 13th May 2017.
Compare 9PM GMT to your time zone!.

Dev news:
I'm about to remove the Gridcoin address from the block indexes to save memory. They are only used in the "magnitudecsv" and "detailmagnitudecsv" RPC commands so if you use those commands, let me know.
Overall, while there hasn't been much visible activity on github several developers, ex-developers and repo maintainers are doing great work, either directly with code or indirectly with investigations and testing. Thanks to TomasBrod, iFoggz, BullShark, TG13088, caraka and everyone else who chip in. I feel we have gained a lot of forward momentum lately.
SSL has been removed from the main channel as it was disrupting bot operations. Ultimately, IRC is entirely public & it's up to users to make sure they're using SSL - I'm using it, so should everyone else but enforcing it is too tough a measure.
boooooooooooooooooooooo.... ;)
exchanges:
New ATH:
As of 18:52 UTC +1 the price has dropped to 1650 Sats.
Hopefully it won't go down much further and we stabilise soon. Frankly as far as I'm concerned watching it go up and down again added a bit of excitement.
I won't be divesting any GRC, it'll stay in my wallet staking.
I'm here for the long haul!!
discussing the team founder role and its implications, see task:
Earliest throwback to team founder role implications
TL;DR:
Removal of the mandatory team requirement will mean that you can crunch outwith of a team, minimizing the above risks. There's 200k GRC up for grabs for anyone that can port the NN to C++ whilst scaling back the quantity of users randomly selected to gather the data and form the superblock.
We are working on brainstorming improved proof of CPID ownership mechanisms, help out if you can.
oh damn. there have been a couple of new projects that an account was already created for me. is there anything we can do now in the way of resetting keys, or is there a way to change email without affecting Gridcoin?
If someone else created the account for you, not yourself, then the account key never changes and they can get in. You could request the account key is changed but that will require a direct change to the database by the project admin (unlikely).
If it was created by boincstats then that's not a big deal.
on world community grid, at least, there is a reset weak key button. i pressed it, and am pleased by its placebo effect so far. :D
May 20: would be in 3 weeks, and not 2 weeks, as usual. correct ?
You're correct, I have changed the post to May 13th.
Date changed to 13th May 2017!
progress with: "talking with BOINC admins"
Looking forward to listening to what's in store next for BOINC / Gridcoin.
