LBRY App Follow Join Tonight! Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies Part 3: A dignified data driven digital economy of the future

"Data makes the product."

"Data sells the product."

"Data is the product."

"Data is the new oil."

"Data runs the world."

We are all intrinsically aware of the power of data, yet we continue to give for free the data that defines our personal existence and hold for sale the data that could change humanity and the world.

How in the world could a network of blockchain and cryptocurrency networks shape the emerging data driven digital economy into one of equality, freedom, exploration, discovery, and human dignity?

Join us tonight to discuss!

@delta1512 joins us again this week for an introduction to the project Amicable Numbers!

An Amicable number pair is a pair of numbers where each of the factors of each number (except the number itself) adds to the other number.

What is Gridcoin?

Gridcoin is a multi-incentive permissionless blockchain initiated in 2013. It mints and distributes cryptocurrency in relation to the processing power a network participant directs toward data-driven analysis and scientific discovery, as well as through a proof-of-stake reward mechanism. The Gridcoin blockchain monitors processing contributions to the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Networked Computing (BOINC). BOINC hosts major institutional computing projects such as IBM’s World Community Grid, SETI, and CERN, alongside projects developed by students, enthusiasts, mathematicians, researchers, and citizen scientists. Access to Gridcoin's computation resources is free, while computation contributors are incentivized with cryptocurrency minted by the Gridcoin protocol.
