Welcome back to another Gridcoin SotN report! This week I want to give a huge thank you to @parejan for reaching out to help with visuals. To accomplish this, we have begun restructuring the stats to every two Wednesdays instead of every two Saturdays. The posts will still come out on Saturdays, but this way we have some time to exchange information. We also gathered blockchain stats back into October so we could have more data points for the graphs.

Things are beginning to take shape!

News

Here are a few community articles/projects from the past week.

I have to apologize for this section again. The 1 week limitation of steemit is a killer. I remember a lot of great posts from last week, but cannot easily find them. This is just some updates from this week (plus the 3.7.0.0 post which is easy to find). I will have to do a better job with saving the articles as they appear.

@ravon has told us about the expected 3.7.0.0 planned changes!

@artba07965 is putting together a Gridcoin/BOINC calendar.

Ethical questions around how people use Gridcoin and BOINC are being asked.

@grider123 updates us on his idea of a Gridcoin steemit curator.

@dutch has released https://www.gridcoin.science/ ! Learn more here.

@jefpatat continues with his updates on his RAC experiment.
