The Fireside Chat 15 - Gridcoin and Open-Source Funding Structures

Thursday, July 5th, at 8:00pm EST, Midnight UTC

Join us every Thursday at 8:00pm EST, Midnight UTC on the Gridcoin discord server for discussions on Gridcoin, cryptocurrency, blockchain, and DELTA.

This Week

This week we will be discussing the funding structures of open-source entities and communities with a focus on how we might want to see Gridcoin funding developed.

Bounties?

Direct Funding?

Management Boards?

Come discuss!

Gridcoin Discord Server

See you soon!

Note: I have the previous two episodes ready to upload, but I figure I'll edit and upload this one with those two over the weekend.

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.
