Can we discuss anything?
It's advisable to stay generally on topic, attendees are distributed around the world so they may not (likely won't) share the same views regarding controversial topics not related to Gridcoin/BOINC/computers/cryptocurrency.
What is Gridcoin?
Gridcoin securely rewards BOINC computation on top of Proof of Stake. Reward allocation is distributed, not centralized unlike other distributed computing related cryptocurrencies.
Where can I listen to the raw live stream?
Where can I listen to edited versions of the hangouts?

Hi,
Powering up your post is not the best alternative at these times. Since SBD is 5x the steem value, you would benefit more if you chose the default option for Rewards wich is 50/50. For more info you can read this post from bayuya
i choose to power up using these posts, as they are community posts for Gridcoin, and not original content. i then use the power obtained to upvote content. i don't think it's fair to gain monetarily from something i -have to- post every week. ;)
Respect
Was reading some forums and came across a criticism of starting up Gridcoin
What would the viability be of creating a check that can bring up a popup message that says "You are now mining Gridcoin!" once new users have successfully completed all of the basic setup?
