Gridcoin Community Hangout #052
This will be our first hangout in the Gridcoin Discord channel! We hope to increase attendance by hosting the hangout in an application that people already idle in. So, come one, come all! :D
Need some $GRC to get your wallet going? We will be giving away 5 FREE GRC to anyone that needs it, up to 100 GRC per hangout!
Free Gridcoins are provided by the other members of the hangout as a kind gesture from the community.
Want to suggest a topic to discuss?
Reply with your suggestions in this Steemit post, or on the Reddit repost, and we will discuss your topic in chronological order of submission.
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?

Looking forward to the Discord Hangout. I intend to make time to attend!
I suggest we, briefly, discuss Halford's response to the concerns regarding developer compensation. The main points are:

If you intend to speak, use the Android/Iphone apps or the desktop app. Don't use the web version of Discord. Some ports are disabled and you probably don't be heard (you would hear the other though). Hangout is dead, long lives the hangout!

With the recent forking issues fixed (or at least as far as I know), there's been a lot of complaints about the difficulty of staking and I would like to know if there are plans to implement manual staking like it was discussed a few weeks ago? I'd be more then willing to pay 10 GRC in fees or even a percentage to manually stake if necessary. It would beat giving my boinc stats away to the pool (no offense intented, the pool is a fantastic service)
