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 completly for free. There is no need to signup or to beg for a donation.
Gridcoin has two faucets at the moment: 1, 2.
Both 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 eighth post with which I hope to collect steem dollars to donate to the Gridcoin Switzerland Faucet. You'll find the other posts here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Thanks to all the upvoters I was able to donate about 2870 Gridcoins to the faucet.

Newest donation

This is what I collected with the last post.

I traded the collected steem dollars (+ the donation of @ragnarokdel) on bittrex for bitcoin.

And then I traded the bitcoins for Gridcoins also on bittrex.

You can find proof that I sent the coins here.
Thanks for your support!

Future ideas

I will make a post like this every 10 days or so when I find the time to do that. Everything I collect with this post will be donated to the faucet!

I've recommended the faucet to new users trying to get Gridcoin. I've also used it to pay forward the coins I had received when starting. Great work!

Proof of Donation

My promise was to match the value of this donation post, and so I have done, by a margin :)

I calculated the STEEM price by the SBD peg, which is at 1.1/STEEM, but the actual USD/STEEM value is much higher. Please consider this a donation for a worthy cause :)

Post value: $13.21

Steem Donated: 11.901 @ $2.62/STEEM = $31.18

Thanks again!
Here's my proof.

great work you rock mr

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

A faucet helps new users to get started fast and completly for free.

It should be completely instead of completly.

Well spotted but in the context of the article completly unnecessary.

well at least I learned something lol^^

I just go to bed now............
