This Week (Tonight!)

Get pumped!

Join the writers of the newly minted Gridcoin Blue Paper... Part 1. @jamescowens, @ilikechocolate, and @snipatomic will be around to answer questions as we explore what this very detailed and technical document means for the growth the Gridcoin. This section of the bluepaper is very relevant with the fork to CBR just around the corner.

If you want to read up before the chat, check out Jim's post with the link to the doc below. We will be discussing both the technicals of the paper and its larger implications for the community, so you don't need to understand everything to take part in the conversation.

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.
