Great post.

Although there are a few community members who disagree that the influx of new users is happening, I can personally vouch for the fact that the number of new users has grown considerably recently.

(Edit ) The administrator of grcpool.com has just mentioned that today ( 29/06/17) 100+ new users joined the pool.

I know this because I have helped many to set up their wallets on #gridcoin-help and I have even set up a new skype name (Mercosity) in order to help a few that were having, what seemed to them, insurmountable issues.

A large number of those joining have started with grcpool.com as they don't have the computational power to go solo. Some of those new pool users have, in a short time span, increased their power and have started to go solo.

We have a friendly and amazingly dedicated community and many unsung heroes who help out, not only on the development side but in #gridcoin-help. They and I know who they are.

I thank you all on behalf of all the new users and the community as a whole, for without you Team Gridcoin would not exist and new users would be frightened away.
