On this episode we cover the news and discuss UTXO splitting, Active Vote-Weight, and looking into researching the benefits of using BOINCing rigs as space heaters.

Excuse my mic in the beginning. It gets fixed after about 5 minutes.

Join us for the next episode next Thursday, June 21st, at 8:00pm EST, midnight UTC, on the Gridcoin discord.

Discussion Topic - Magnitude As An Economic Tool

Gridcoin has a kitty of 115,000 magnitude. What does this mean for how much Gridcoin is minted for BOINC contributions? Could we change it? Should we change it? What do you think?

See you next week!

Like what we do at the fireside? We happily accept GRC donations.

What is Gridcoin?

Gridcoin is an open-source blockchain that mints and distributes cryptocurrency in relation to the processing power a network participant directs toward data-driven analysis and scientific discovery. Currently, the Gridcoin blockchain is secured through a proof-of-stake protocol and monitors processing contributions to the distributed computing infrastructure, BOINC. BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, hosts major institutional computing projects such as IBM’s World Community Grid, SETI, and data from the Large Hadron Collider, alongside projects developed by students, enthusiasts, mathematicians, researchers, and citizen scientists.
