Hello,
just a short suggestion for "advertisment". Since a lot of tech Blogs recently feature a lot of articles about BitCoin there is a lot of comments on those articles. One point that often pops up is that people complain about the waste of energy and CPU power and that it should be used for something meaningful. I can see this comment very often. I have seen discussions in the last days where people suggested to use folding@home or SETI@home as a base for crypto currency, but GridCoin is not mentioned.
It would be great if every GridCoin user could answer those comments and tell the people about GridCoin. Whenever you read about the waste of resources in BitCoin - answer the comments and tell the people that there is an real alternative. GridCoin is probable the only crypto currency adressing this issue. Every small comment is a good advertisment for GridCoin.
happy crunching !
Lars
Can you give us some links and we'll unleash Gridcoin marketing dept on them

I've noticed this too, and it's not just small blogs or comments either, in recent weeks I've noticed a few articles about the energy requirements of Bitcoin mining cropping up in the New Scientist, The Guardian, and the BBC.

Well, i only know about the german tech sites: Those are heise.de, computerbase, golem. I think one needs to be ready. Usually the comment section receives attention for a day and than its dead. The best is to respond immediately when one does spot a topic.
