I signed up a few days ago and received the first batch yesterday, also the referral bonuses.Thanks for the free coins. I hope this project will gain attention over time, great idea.
This coin has been solid since the git go.
where to signup for this? also, any bounties? i have always liked the idea of UBI so this is by default an okay coin for me
Feel free to use my referral link in my sig.
You don't have to, but I'd like it.

In short, yes.

Currently not a PoS coin (plans for it in the future), but an online wallet is available at https://poswallet.com . Any distributions will be paid out in the online wallet as well.

Having some issues with the wallet. I can't find any peers, though the chain looks healthy. Also I have to reload the entire chain every time I restart the wallet, this needs fixed.
no plan to add polo dev?
What about this spike on BITTREX?

I'm sure there are a lot of givers out there who like to remain anonymous. Does The Grantcoin Foundation, through the use of Grantcoin, provide such possibilities? If not, is that something givers can look forward to in the future?

Announcing GrantMarket, an Online Hub for Cryptocurrency Giving
Posted on February 10, 2016 by The Grantcoin Foundation
http://www.grantcoin.org/2016/02/10/grantmarket-online-hub-for-cryptocurrency-giving/
The Grantcoin Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of GrantMarket, a website where people can give micro-donations of Grantcoin (GRT) to worthy recipients online.
Once or twice a week, our team will publish articles on GrantMarket about a charity or nonprofit organization, artist or musician, or other #grantworthy person or organization. Readers who are inspired to support them can click a button to send GRT through Twitter, or copy a specific wallet address and send them GRT using a Grantcoin wallet on your computer or smartphone.
Each article on GrantMarket will also have a Bitcoin donation button powered by Coinbase, and a PayPal button for people who wish to donate using U.S. dollars. Users who choose these options will be making a tax-deductible donation to the Grantcoin Foundation, and our organization will send the equivalent amount of GRT to your intended recipient.
Later this year, GrantMarket will also begin featuring socially and environmentally conscious businesses, and people will be able to spend Grantcoin to buy gift cards or coupons at those businesses — similar to a customer loyalty points program.
“We’re excited to launch GrantMarket because we believe it’s essential for alternative currencies to have a real-world purpose,” said Grantcoin founder Eric Stetson. “Our goal is to develop Grantcoin and GrantMarket into an economic network for social good.”
People who wish to acquire Grantcoin to use on GrantMarket may donate to the Grantcoin Foundation and receive a Grantcoin starter kit with software, coins, and instructions. We match all donations with an equivalent donation of GRT to the charity of your choice. Grantcoin can also be purchased on exchanges.
We invite you to visit grantmarket.org and check out the new site!

very cool stuff
Question...now that ripple trade is shutting down, how is that going to affect Grantcoin?... if at all.

Hi Chey,
Thanks for your comment, we are excited for the next stages of Grantcoin, more things are brewing with an exciting 2016 to look forward too
. Anyway, very good question about Ripple Trade shutting down. Our team was surprised with the recent news of Ripple Trade shutting down but after discussion with our contact at Ripple labs it seemed inevitable, the ripple consumer interface is a tier below Ripple Labs to allow more focus on banks. We are already in discussion with GateHub and should migrate our wallets soon if all goes as planned. We will let you know as things progress but we are hopeful the GRT.Grantcoin asset will continue being exchangeable on the ripple protocol.
Cheers,
Brandon

Good question. One of our team members is talking with the GateHub team to see if we can get Grantcoin supported on their Ripple wallet and trading platform. We'll update the Grantcoin community when we know more.

the Grantcoin Foundation is launching two new programs:
- GrantDrives: Grantcoin-branded bamboo flash drives containing a Grantcoin starter kit for donors. The starter kit comes with wallet software pre-loaded with Grantcoin and detailed instructions for how to use it.
- Cascading Philanthropy program: Matching grants for donors, to the charity of your choice. The Grantcoin Foundation will give the equivalent monetary value of your tax-deductible donation in the form of Grantcoin, plus free promotion for your favorite charity or nonprofit to our 4,000+ Twitter followers. In January we plan to launch a website called GrantMarket, where people can easily send Grantcoin microdonations to featured charities, artists, and other worthy recipients — and your charity will be profiled there too!
