Topic: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread - page 16. (Read 597505 times)

Glad to read some updated here... interesting.

Personally, with all the situation with Bitcoin in the last months, it has been a long accumultion time for GRC....

It seems that the market decided to move the other direction in the last few days....

I am pretty sure, GRC will benefit a lot from it as well.

Grid also as a Steemit following, even though its market cap has dropped I do not think its actual community gas.

I do have to admit that the confirmation process is an issue if GRC is to be used as a currency.  I'm trying to move around only 50 coins and I'm sitting at 812 confirmations.

That started at 10 PM last night.  Is there anything coming up to fix this process?

Same for us We have naturally and unintentionally streamlined the development process to github and Slack. Beyond that there is also reddit, IRC, Telegram, Facebook, Bitcointalk, Cryptocointalk, Twitter and Steemit, so keeping everyone updated has become a chore. I can try to make a bigger presence here but as of right now the best bet for the most up to date status with the least effort is probably reddit.

I too am glad for the positive response, was a bit worried there! I do think people here need to be kept updated though.

@denravonska @natekicks @Mercosity

Thanks guys for the updates.  Honestly I just don't have the time to be on multiple platforms (besides here, FB, and sometimes Slack).  If you guys could make at least a once a week presence on here, it would be appreciated!!

Nah, we just hang on different platforms The day to day communication is done on Slack while the more permanent work is done on Github. See the staging branch for what's being tested for the next release, and the development branch for the changes coming in the release after. I wrote a summary covering the main changes coming up in the Gridcoin 3.7.0.0 release.

As @natekicks has said we have a vibrant community and a dedicated development team working on Gridcoin.

Gridcoin is very much alive and the community is certainly alive and kicking ..

Any user or potential user should look at Steemit for info on our bi-weekly hangouts ( last one was #45 ) and podcasts of these hangouts are available on most podcast sites including a live stream during the Gridcoin Hangout on Twitch ( courtesy of fkinglag ).

We also run bi-weekly Gridcoin Classrooms where we cover pre-planned subjects to do with all matters Griidcoin and answer relevant questions from the floor both in live audio and internal and external text through a live link to the IRC #gridcoin-mumble channel.

As @natekicks has said we are also on Slack, although this does require an invtation by a Gridcoin member.

There there are a multitude of channels from #crunch-tinkering which covers innovative ways to improve and tweak your software and hardware and hardware builds from Ryzen to Pi to the #development channel where you will find our knowledgable and dedicated devs.

We also have a Discord channel, IRC and of course Reddit ..


So a dead coin and community we are not .. Very much alive and kicking and communicating ..

Use your friend Google and you'll find we are out there .. Google Gridcoin ..

Wow, making an account here is painful, and it's impossible to recover my old account. Anyway, that madness out of the way...

Gridcoin is very much alive. Most of the developer activity is now in Slack (you can check for yourself at teamgridcoin.slack.com) and the community action has largely moved to Reddit and Steemit where it's growing rapidly (just hit over 3000 users on reddit and growing by 25-50 a day now).

Regarding development, I'd recommend https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@ravonn/upcoming-gridcoin-3-7-0-0-changes for a good overview of what's coming up.

Is this true? 999 confirmations needed?

How exactly is that going to hold up long term? I mean that seems like an incredible waste of time and energy. Could this be partially responsible for it's slow climb? I just think about the incredible work that GRC is doing partnered with BOINC. Putting computing power to something like curing malaria or AIDS or any other project that goes into helping others.

999 confirmations seems a bit excessive.

Well the price is certainly on the ups.  Don't suppose any of the devs are on here?

Even the dev forum seems lacking now. These guys have the potential to be in the top 10 but they're doing F all.

just want to know if any photos or LinkedIn profile for every team member?

Why is the project so dead price terms wise? Is there any development happening in this project? Is there anything I'm missing? I do understand the BTC rally has affected the price of all alts, but GRC seems dead.

I want to invest, but i don't know how

Who knows how much longer this BTC parabolic rally is gonna last, but it would not be a bad idea to pickup some more GRC on this dip for when Altcoin season kicks in.

In my opinion, the boom of bitcoin has a great impact on the price of each coin. So is GRC. I think it is still a time to look at it for a while!

True. It also worries me that GRC is being heavily under looked.

Bitcoin price exploded, altcoin prices IN BITCOIN dropped as a result pretty much across the board.
Price VS FIAT ($US etc) has been more or less flat to a small increase.

GRC is so undervalued right now! Low volumes, since ages. I have almost finished accumulating. My friends and I at Cryptounderground, have too.

 You got a heads up, before hitting 4K SATS. Brace yourselves for the moon.
