The Future of Gridcoin

This week we sum up the happenings from the past two weeks and look forward. We discuss the Bittrex delisting, the BOINC workshop, a new whitepaper nearing release, and press release initiative.

This week @delta1512 introduced us to distributed computing islands that make super-circuits. What?!

At least once in your life you've probably been to a hospital or seen people hooked up to those pulse monitors and all the fancy medical gear, and you probably wouldn't want that to fail, right? - This is exactly what this project does, helps make electronics that fix themselves (yes, like the starship enterprise).

Check out the linked post for more information, or have a listen to the first half hour of the episode.

Join us for the next episode where Delta will be introducing [email protected].

What is Gridcoin?

Gridcoin is a multi-incentive open-source blockchain. Incentive one, stake rewards, rewards participants for securing the ledger through a proof-of-stake protocol. Incentive two, research rewards, rewards participants for contributing to approved projects hosted on 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.
