The Fireside Chat 17 - Side-Staking and Stake-Splitting

Tonight! Thursday, July 19th, 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 (Tonight!)

Last week's experiment worked nicely, so we will be doing the same this week: if you have anything you would like to discuss during the chat, there will be 10-15 minutes open to participants before we get into the main topic for the evening.

This week's main topic will be side-staking and stake-splitting, and how these mechanisms can be funding tools for Gridcoin development, BOINC projects, research, and other endeavors, while simultaneously used as larger economic tools for the GRC ecosystem through burn/freeze contracts.

Come discuss!

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.
