Summary

This week we discuss side-staking and stake-splitting as mechanisms that can help fund GRC development, BOINC projects, and research. We also discuss the economic implications of side-staking as burn, freeze, or contract wallets.

Next Episode

Join us for the next episode next Thursday, July 26th, at 8:00pm EST, midnight UTC, on the Gridcoin discord.

We will have a topic ready by then.

See you soon!

Like what we do at the fireside? We happily accept GRC donations.

What is Gridcoin?

Gridcoin is an open-source blockchain that mints and distributes cryptocurrency in relation to the processing power a network participant directs toward data-driven analysis and scientific discovery. Currently, the Gridcoin blockchain is secured through a proof-of-stake protocol and monitors processing contributions to the distributed computing infrastructure, BOINC. BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, hosts major institutional computing projects such as IBM’s World Community Grid, SETI, and data from the Large Hadron Collider, alongside projects developed by students, enthusiasts, mathematicians, researchers, and citizen scientists.
