I think because lots people can't setup the wallet and can't wrap their head around how GRC actually works. Lots of complicated concepts, config file editing in obscure windows directories, we still haven't mobile wallet, which is a big deal. Most people these day's don't even use pcs, they just use their iPhones and iPads. We are still growing at a steady rate, but we could do much much better me thinks.
You are right, but I have a good feeling about additional dev power. One way or the other, we will get support for mobile devices and all-in-one solutions that grandma will be able to use
In regards to setting everything up: Luckily we have the pool now on pool.gridcoin.co, which makes setting everything up much easier.
If you are a newcomer to Gridcoin I suggest giving it a try.
It also shows you exactly why you earn how much and how much you earned exactly with each individual project.

Other coins: Yes there are similar Projects. CureCoin works with Folding at Home I think (folding proteins). Then there is Primecoin, letting you calculate prime numbers. Well, that is both something Gridcoin does also support with Rosetta@Home and PrimeGrid for example. And very much more.
Catalysts: Well, Gridcoin Quant (the hedge fund) is on the "schedule" for the next months as well as another mandatory in March if I remember that correctly (content will be binary superblocks and more DAOs support I think).
PiGrid is still developing and about to reach a first version that will be distributed among the kickstarter backers.
Personally, I am very excited about all those milestones.
In general, Gridcoin is very undervalued. Its the Proof of Research coin that makes a) POW just look stupid (wasteful) and b) POS look like a natural Matthew Effect scheme.
I cant understand why GRC is not amongst the top 10 or even the top 5 coins.

I really like the concept of this coin. Are there any other similar projects? CureCoin seems like one.
Are there any catalysts on the horizon for a big price rise?

My understanding is that Rob is now getting ready for his Series 65 exam, which will allow him to act as investment adviser. I am not sure though about how long the whole legal process to setup the hedge fund will take. Regardless, should be interesting to watch what happens.
Both things will be resolved. In case it does not happen by itself due to people jumping onto the GRC train from both investor and researcher side, it will when Gridcoin Finance and our hedge fund kick off -> https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/11357-gridcoin-finance-project/
BTW I guess the coin is spread more than one would think. Remember, Gridcoin exists for more than 2 years now and we had phases of more than 100 BTC of volume/day.
Yea. I noticed that. Any ETA?
I (as in only me) do not have an ETA assumption. As you can read from my latest post in the thread, I am also looking for a kind of roadmap for this process (https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/11357-gridcoin-finance-project/?p=208957).
I think the only bigger thing keeping us from going live with the hedge fund is legal stuff, but as you can read from the thread on CCT, we are making huge steps in that regard. My guess would be its more like a few months than a year until the first iteration of Gridcoin Quant goes live.
Have no doubt GRC will go big. But: 
Constant low volumes on exchanges combined with a downtrend makes me think there are some big holders just sitting on coin maybe going nervous and might dump. Will happily jump in when those 2 things look resolved.

Woh what is happening to GRC price?
I assume first there were people who wanted to jump up on the Bitcoin bump in the end of last year. So they sold GRC. Then other people started panic selling because ... I dont know because they were panicking?
Well, nothing changed technically, Gridcoins development still goes on as you can see and it works fine. We have great things ahead.
Probably its a good time to buy in... well, I did

Gridcoin Research 3.5.5.8/MSI=39.6
Leisure Upgrade
- Modified GRCRestarter so that downloadblocks uses the new 960gb anti-ddos host (and modified height to be correct during download)
- Fixed bug in Foundation Expense/Campaign Add to not throw a poll error while adding an expense or campaign
- Added a new RPC command to allow data to be stored in burn transactions, and modified the RPC to report on the data (or custom beacons) in listreceivedbyaddress:
a. To burn gridcoins with a custom data payload, execute the following:
execute burn GRCBurnAddress GRCBurnAmount BurnCategory This_Is_MyBurnMessage
Note that you create your own Category (for example if your project is called Asteroids, maybe use Asteroids for the category).
To report on the burns, you may find the TxIds and BurnCategory and Burn Messages with this command:
listreceivedbyaddress
Note: The output will be JSON and the Key and Data values will only be in the JSON when they are populated with data.

Sorry, the burn period was over a long time ago.
I have an old 4363 Gridcoin [GRCX]. Can I replace them somewhere for Gridcoin Research?

Reddit and the Cryptocointalk forum are pretty good places to post.
Just curious, where can I tell people to get the best GRC QT wallet support?
I noticed quite a few unanswered support threads last time I checked cryptocointalk.com in late December.
Has the support forum unofficially moved to the reddit? https://www.reddit.com/r/gridcoin
sorry in advance if this is a redundant question.
Thanks for all the great work.

Hello,
please tell me where I can find a block explorer where I can look up the transactions of my wallet.
On the first page of this thread there are some but I do not see where I can search my wallet.
Thank you in advance,

Hello akaman,
thank you.
I have seen this website but where do I insert my wallet adress?
There are two places one for block hash and block hight and the other for transaction hash.
Or it does not work only with my wallet?
Kind regards,
Zorro
Hey Zorro...You might be more familiar with the layout of this Block Explorer http://explorer.gridcoin.asia/.
