Gridcoin Community Hangout #044
A massive shout out to the BeyondBitcoin community & @officialfuzzy for providing the Gridcoin community a room in their mumble server for free.
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?

Why are we holding these hangouts?
- A mumble conference call can provide significant advantages over communicating via text.
- To create opportunities to inform the public of new Gridcoin, BOINC, and related services & their development progress.
- To bridge relations between the cryptocurrency & BOINC communities, and our users.
How long will the hangout last?
Anywhere from 45 minutes to 4 and a half hours!
When the Gridcoin Community Hangouts start really picking up traction we can become more strict with allocated speaking time if need be (so you're not waiting hours to talk).
Want to suggest a topic to discuss?
Reply with your suggestions in this Steemit post & order of discussion will be from highest to lowest upvotes.
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/cryptocurrency.
That said, this 'on topic' guideline fizzles away once official recording has ended & the hangout becomes a more relaxed environment.
Gridcoin Hangout #044 will be held on:
November 25, 2017 @ 7pm UTC.
Compare 7pm UTC to your time zone!
