Tonight!
Outreach and Voting
Tonight we continue a running conversation on outreach documents and initiatives. The conversation will be led by the reddit thread:
Help Build Outreach Documents by Answering These Questions
We will also be discussing voting in the Gridcoin network.
We will discuss its uses, including informing decisions and managing the whitelist. We will discuss how it works, including the differences between coin-weight and magnitude-weight. And we will discuss some possible improvements and alternative systems.
See you soon!
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.
