Gridcoin on Altcoinstalks
Today I got e-mail from Altcoinstalks they are starting active forum promotion and token distribution.
This forum hope to be Bitcointalk for Altcoins.
And I saw they have no info about Gridcoin so I wrote a short post there
Gridcoin is one of my favorite cryptos.
I would even suggest you to make a separate sub-section which you have for other cryptos:

Some Facts about Gridcoin:
Gridcoin is mined by Proof of Research: completing research work for real organisations and universities, which are working to tackle real problems. You have full control what projects you contribute to with your machine.
Secured with POS
Investors are rewarded for securing the blockchain through a Proof of Stake mechanism. They are paid 1.5% interest per annum on their holdings alongside any research earnings.Gridcoin has strong communities on Steemit and Reddit
Using Gridcoin and setting up mining is so easy that even non-tech people can easily do it

Nice!
Just a technical term correction:
Gridcoin is minted and distributed with relation to a user's contribution to BOINC.
Saying PoR hurts my crypto-ears. We don't mine anything = ). We don't use research to proove any cryptographic hash either.
Thanks! Actually that line was from Gridcoin.science site, so may be site owners will see the message and might change the text.
Also I think we might say: Gridcoin is distributed to the contributors of BOINC research
Or sometimes "BOINC" might be omitted, when talking with somebody who doesn't have yet big interest in Gridcoin (i.e. this ways I'm talking to some friends outside of crypto area)
@dutch Are you saying we are PoR mining again?...
As for me, Proof of Research is a good term,
and it's unique as no crypto have PoR!
it's a neat term. just not true at all = )
Yes, I agree, just for a person not so advanced in blockchain and gridcoin as you, it probably sounds quite interesting.
Many people heard PoS, PoW, but PoR? That's something new))
We have to be carefull not to overpromise, and get followers on our own terms and facts.
Throwing up non-factual buzz words might get a quick flash but then it will be gone. Education and natural growth is the only sustainable way.
