This week we continue a discussion started at the end of last week's episode on building Gridcoin outreach initiatives. There are some seriously great ideas brought forward that need only the people to make them happen. Reach out to help!
Also, this is the first episode with terminet3's intro and outro edited in and it sounds great! A huge thank you to him for the music sounds.

What is Gridcoin?
Gridcoin is a multi-incentive open-source blockchain. Incentive one, stake rewards, rewards participants for securing the ledger through a proof-of-stake protocol. Incentive two, research rewards, rewards participants for contributing to approved projects hosted on 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.
