Gridcoin Community Hangout #070

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.

Why are we holding these hangouts?

A conference call can provide significant advantages over communicating via text.
To inform the public of new Gridcoin & BOINC (and related services) development progress.
To bridge relations between the cryptocurrency & BOINC communities, and our users.
To be transparent in our actions.
