Thank you for taking the time working on both the development code along with testnet and then giving your weekly or so dev updates and road-map updates and then taking the time to inform us of updates , then updating when the .msi is available. Mind you people that he has steemit/discord/slack/facebook/twitter/github especially to update the website to the right version and who knows what else he has to post updates to and I know it takes many chunks of your time and we all as a community appreciate it. You are very thorough and use words that make things simple vs trying to be all wordy and confusing and I think it really helps out most of the community especially the newcomers.

I'm finally beginning to play catch up on Gridcoin so I'm glad to see this, and hope to be back on the train soon.

Hi @barton26, I'm @checky ! While checking the mentions made in this post I found out that @foggyx420, @barton2526 and @pythonix don't exist on Steem. Maybe you made some typos ?

This is spam and 100% incorrect ,they need a downvote although the trolls would abuse it and then people whom want to look big and talk all big and shut up others would downvote in order to silence users.. Thank god steemit doesn't have any features to mute or " hide " comments and posts...

[nathanielcwm]

The only thing that the bot mentioned that was actually in the post was @pythonix

[barton26]

Actually when I initially posted, it included the errors for ifoggz and myself. I edited them to match the steem usernames. The bot was not incorrect when it posted.

I just released a Gridcoin review, I would appreciate it if you take a look and give me your thoughts.
