New blog post on how Golem works & why it's awesome, written so anyone can understand: https://blog.golemproject.net/golem-building-the-worlds-most-powerful-supercomputer-on-blockchain-4ccb44c328a#.il8i2bdtc

@electronicash thanks

There won't be any rewards for being early to the GNT sale, however. The price will remain constant throughout.

Seeing at how quite a few multimillion dollar ICOs have been fully funded in less than a day lately, not being early might mean you're too late.

That makes two of us.

New Golem blog post: Designing A Better Internet with Ethereum and Golem

https://blog.golemproject.net/designing-a-better-internet-with-ethereum-and-golem-3ff1f5692cf0#.fj6l30ggv

We'd like to welcome Matt Innes, founder of Idealogue, to the Golem Team.

@szachta, we haven't announced the date yet, but we will very very soon. We'll update here, and announce on Twitter, Facebook, Slack, and /r/ethereum when we do. Stay posted.

@kda2018 glad to know you dig it. We won't have any signature campaigns for Golem though. It doesn't make sense as Golem currently isn't looking to attract users and, when we are, our main incentives for the blockchain niche of users (mostly devs to start) will be the income you can generate off of hosting your software on the Golem Store, & the lower costs and 0 downtime of the Golem Network.

I'm guessing you means something like the DAO hack and resultant hard fork?

Let me quote Julian, Golem's CEO, on how we're making sure nothing that bad can happen with Golem:

"we will have a cap for this crowdfunding — $10M USD — and we are all too aware of our responsibility to deliver value to the community, whether we reach it or not. Golem lives on the technological frontier, with not only vast R&D ahead of us, but unknown unknowns as well. In other words, we do not yet know all the risks, but we feel that this is a reasonable cap, given the state of the project, the plan ahead, and the current situation within the Ethereum community. We also echo Vitalik’s call to not create smart contracts holding more than $10M, not just on purely technological grounds (security), but also because of wider community considerations: We ourselves have no wish to take in anything more than we believe we can put to use, and we certainly don’t wish to exhaust the pool of ETH available to other important projects."

@cyrixcer @ShooterXD

Not sure exactly what you mean.

We've got team members working on our social media, talking with bloggers (just had an interview on The Bitcoin Show go live), etc.

If you mean something along the lines of offering GNT or the like for social media shares and whatnot, we don't have anything like that planned yet, but we're open to ideas.

If you mean hiring freelancers to help us with that stuff..... well, send me a pitch at eddy@golemproject.net

@ricku The GNT  price will be the same from start to the end of the crowdfunding event.

Seeing as more than a few recent ICOs have hit their multi-million dollar maximums in less than an hour lately, there's a chance that those who aren't early are too late.

@LiskQH no bounties for the crowdfunding sale.

If you're talking about bug-fixing bounties, then we'll likely have some in the future. None at the moment though. You can follow us on twitter or join our slack to get updates on that.

@restless there won't be any GNT mining. 100% of the existing GNT will be distributed during the crowdfunding, and after that it will be constant supply (aka no new GNT made).

@vanarebane

Actually, the crowdfunding (not ICO, though we will be selling the GNT there) will be happening in the next few weeks. We'll announce it soon via slack, twitter, and facebook.

@BTC Community

The computations are sandboxed in an isolated virtual machine and executed with the minimal required privileges.

Crackers can defeat sandboxes though, so Golem's Application Registry will have a class of users called Validators. They review and certify apps as safe and trustworthy by adding them to their own whitelists (or adding them to blacklists if they're definitely unsafe).

Providers can choose to only run apps that are on a given whitelist or, if they're willing to take more risk, only refuse apps that are on a given blacklist.

@maldini yup. There will be no minting/mining of GNT after the crowdsale. It'll be constant supply.

18% of the GNT goes to the company and devs. The rest goes to those who buy it.

@knobson @Coin_trader thanks

We probably won't be doing any translation work until after the crowdfunding is done. If you want to know when we'll need it, join our slack here: http://golemproject.org:3000/
