Please be aware:

that since yesterday (actually, since Aug. 13 and longer) there are currently investigations/claims about security flaws in Gridcoin

by staff of the Ruhr University Bochum - Chair for Network and Data SECURITY

Gridcoin members are working on this, and the security expert also joined the chat

I'm catching up on the events in my post here:

* https://github.com/Erkan-Yilmaz/GRC/issues/34

Ruhr Universität Bochum is in Germany. Is this a German project? If not, pretty cool people from around the globe have a look at the security model.

Most Internet projects are at least somewhat international.

But no, AFAIK Gridcoin is not based out of Germany.

Yes sure. But that they dedicate their time to Gridcoin is interesting.

Is there a benefit financially for staking 24/7? Also wtf is up with grc price?

I think its because the community is stagnating, i believe very few new members comes to community and a lot just dumps, just because there's this big 'barrier' of entry (you need like 2k grc to stake once in blue moon) Magnitude pos weight balance, etc...

Look, I understand you have to do 10 posts a week because of your sig. I have the same after all. But please abstain from making idiotic posts. The price (in satoshi) is going down for the same reason most coins go down.

1) BTC is exploding and everybody is selling to get btc. So gridcoin and almost any other altcoin goes down.

2) The community is stagnating? Really? And then why does gridcoin has like 10 new posts on totally different topics, everyday over https://steemit.com/trending/gridcoin? Or maybe have you checked slack? How about the original ann here? https://cryptocurrencytalk.com/topic/1331-new-coin-launch-announcement-grc-gridcoin

Gridcoin is super active and the community grows by the day. The only place members are not active is here on the ann. I am trying to change this by posting all the news here but it's not effective. My guess is because the new people here mainly really care for the top-10 coins and the new ones where they can shill and make (hopefully) a fast buck.

3) The only point you are right is the coin barrier for staking.. But guess what? All POS coin are like that (except the ones that have a 70% per year stake). If you want to stake a lot of coins, you need to buy a lot of coins. It's simple math.

TLDR: Stop spreading BS

First of all points noted

I am crushing BOINC for like a decade or so with some downtime and I'm grateful for grc community. It is great coin with purpose behind it. Yes grc team doing great job attracting members from other BOINC teams. Yes steemit has buzz around grc.
So there's that.
And on the other side there's ugly truth. I almost can guarantee you that 99.99% of human population on planet earth doesn't even know that BOINC exits/is. And then you subtract the amount of BOINC users who doesn't even know what crypto is then you get ... lim -> 0.
I know GRC has voting system, kinda unique PoS system and even integrated neural net for consensus(?) but It's not advertised ANYWHERE in human readable form.

Always good to have some of these very old rock solid projects being around. Too many of them have been left by the devs half way.

And not just any coin. A coin that benefits humanity with scientific research

Yes, absolutely agree

We will see in the future how big the benefit for humanity contributed by Gridcoin turns out to be.

So when then 1M block?
Is there any activities planned? It would be healthy to create some buzz around press and crypto communities.

it's ca. 6-7 days away (6115 blocks)
