Gridcoin Community Hangout #032 - 10th June 2017 @ 9PM GMT (RSVP & Suggest topics!)
Gridcoin Community Hangout #032
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
031 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 #031:
9PM BST 10th June 2017.
Compare 9PM BST to your time zone!.

Dev news:
Dang! I missed it! Would've loved to be there. I just stocked up on 31,000 gridcoin. Love the potential of this coin. Happy to be part of its future! :)
Great to hear, try to make it next time on the 24th June :)
At our current pace, sometime in July we'll overtake the Czech National Team and SETI.Germany, moving from 4th place to 2nd place in the BOINC Combined (non ASIC) leaderboards! We're still a little ways from 1st, but maybe with a little growth we can take the #1 spot from Sicituradastra by the end of 2017.
Analyzing the individual BOINC user leader board, the two Gridcoin pools are almost in the top 10! Katiee's pool is currently sitting at 11th and grcpool.com (soon open source) is sitting at 15th place.
that's awesome
