#44 Gridcoin.ch faucet donation post
Everything I collect with this post will be donated to the faucet!
Why donations are important
Gridcoin is growing recently and new users are joining every day. If a new user wants to check whether the wallet is set up correctly, the small transaction of the faucet helps him. A faucet helps new users to get started fast and completely for free. There is no need to signup or to beg for a donation.
Gridcoin has two faucets at the moment: 1, 2 Discord Bot.
All faucets have distributed large amounts of Gridcoin to the community. The operators pay for the Gridcoins themself. But faucets are important for the Gridcoin community so the community should support the faucets!
Past donations
This is the forty-second post with which I hope to collect steem dollars to donate to the Gridcoin Switzerland Faucet.

Newest donation
This is what I earned with my last posts.
It was not enough to be traded on Bittrex. So I will add it to the next donation!
Thanks for your support!
Future ideas
I will make a post like this every 7 days or so when I find the time to do that. Everything I collect with this post will be donated to the faucet!

This post made me aware of the Gridcoin project. I've joined solo and look forward to participating. Do I need to run on a PC to provide computing services?
Very cool you heard about Gridcoin through this post!
A few things:
If you want to earn by solo mining you already need a few thousand (I'd say at least 5'000 GRC) to get your reward. This is not because Gridcoin is some ponzi scheme but because Gridcoin uses Proof-of-Stake as a consensus mechanism. So you need to invest some money (maybe $30) to get started solo. If you don't want to buy you can use https://grcpool.com and start without an initial investment!
If you go with solo mining you need the wallet running on a pc. You're probability to create a new block and get all the reward you're owed for doing BOINC work is dependent on how many GRC you have and how long the wallet is open and running. So if you don't want to buy and keep the wallet open and running please use on of our pools: https://grcpool.com, https://grc.arikado.ru/
You can do BOINC work on almost any device including a simple android smartphones/tablets. If you use one of the pools you need to do some changes to the official BOINC app to make it work with the pools. The process is described here:
If you have any questions or need some guidance you can always ask here or join our discord server: https://discord.me/page/gridcoin
