Gridcoin securely rewards BOINC computation on top of Proof of Stake. Reward allocation is distributed, not centralized unlike other distributed computing related cryptocurrencies. More info: https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@cm-steem/gridcoin-securely-rewarding-boinc-computation-on-top-of-pos/ ## Why are we holding these hangouts? * A conference call can provide significant advantages over communicating via text. * To inform the public of new Gridcoin & BOINC (and related services) development progress. * To bridge relations between the cryptocurrency & BOINC communities, and our users. * To be transparent in our actions. ## Want to suggest a topic to discuss? Reply with your suggestions in this Steemit post, or on the Reddit repost, and we will discuss your topic in chronological order of submission. ## Want to host a Hangout in another language? Please let me know if you'd like to add your expertise to the [Gridcoin University](https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@peppernrino/the-gridcoin-university). :) ## Gridcoin University Event Calendar To keep track of all of our events, I have begun construction of a Google Calendar: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=gridcoinofficial%40gmail.com&ctz=UTC If you have something you'd like to add to the calendar, even your birthday, let me know and I'll do my best to add it in a timely manner. --- ## "Where can I listen to the raw live stream?"

--- ## "Where can I listen after they are over?"
