Marketing and Outreach

There has been plenty of chatter on how we can work to get Gridcoin in front of more developers, researchers, and STEM hobbyists and professionals. Below are two recorded chats hosted on the Gridcoin discord server which discuss possible advertisement initiatives and projects along with the construction of a simple and accessible bounty system for developers. There has also been an increase in discussion of getting some more visual media, such as intro videos, produced. If you would like to help with anything marketing or outreach related, reach out on any of the social outlets, particularly in the #marketing channel on slack.
