[Daffadile]

I have looked at the site and I still don't understand what is going on here. Why can't you explain better. I see you get donations and people can buy that bamboo ledger drive then you register and you recieve Grantcoin every 3 months. Why ? How ?

"Grantcoin has an advantage over all other cryptocurrencies in terms of maintaining price: we use tax-deductible charitable donations to our nonprofit organization to support the price of our currency. So, Grantcoin doesn't rely entirely on investor purchases to maintain its price."

That sounds like a good idea.
It meen you will consistently buy GRT, right?

Do the developers want others to help, or take over some of the project?

[Daffadile]

Grant coin is just nonesense coin. What is all this crap this guy is on about ?

Sorry for the non response, the team has been focusing our energy on other aspects of the project.  The concept for basic income has been around for a while, there are many resources to look into on the web, Grantcoin is applying the blockchain technology to actually implementing it.  You'll notice in your research a lot of the constraints on why a government can't implement a basic income is taxation and the inefficiencies of how money is moved, this is where a NGO is valuable so no one government has the burden to fund basic income.  And of course the blockchain eliminates the efficiency of moving money directly to the basic income participants.   I hope we didn't frustrate you in our delayed response.  If you have any more questions please feel free to contact us directly.

Thanks!

How long left of pow phase, I see it will go into pos this year going by the website statement ?

Not sure at this point when or if Grantcoin will implement Proof of Stake. It depends mostly on the economic model of the coin and how a switch to PoS would affect its charitable purpose, i.e. whether it would tend to increase or decrease the amount of GRT being distributed as rewards for maintaining the network, vs. how much is being distributed as Basic Income grants. The Grantcoin Foundation Board of Directors has had some discussions about this in the past couple of months, but a final decision has not yet been made.

For the foreseeable future, Grantcoin will remain PoW only.

Grantcoin Launches Automated Signup Process on Ekata Social Platform

By The Grantcoin Foundation
December 9, 2016

The Grantcoin Foundation is pleased to announce that we have developed an automated system for signup and verification of applicants for Grantcoin Basic Income. The technology was built by Ekata Social LLC and is the first step toward our mutual goal of full integration of Grantcoin into Ekata, a new social media platform.

The new signup process for Grantcoin will not require human labor to process the majority of applications. Applicants will verify their email address and mobile phone number, and in most cases will be automatically approved and instantaneously receive a referral code they can share with others. ...

hello. what can i do with my account balance?

Hi, nice project. Can't handle to mine your coin via suprnv pool. I have 2 x 7950 and cgminer3.7.2 installed. Miner connection is ok, hashing looks like ok as well(1,1gh/s total for 2 cards), but 0 accepted or rejected shares - running 30 mins. Bat file is:

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://grt.suprnova.cc:5947 -O xxx.worker:pass

surely you already got the answer but for all others interested in mining GRT:

according to the original ANN it's a SHA-256 PoW coin, so you'd better mine it with Bitcoin ASICs

Yeap get an avalong6 or similarly priced miner, it would deliver more shares to ur share-receiver, however the main problem with that miner is poor quality of the internal parts and low reliability compared to bio miners that connect to ur nervous system and employ neurons of ur brain for to generate hashing power.

following the news about Grantcoin delisting from BitTrex  :

beside SouthXchange there is an option to hold and, in the (hopefully) near future, trade Grantcoins @POSwallet - an online platform for staking & trading 

[kurniajim]

why grantcoin not interest?
so delisted at bittrex

why grantcoin not interest?
so delisted at bittrex 

From the recent announcement from the Grantcoin Foundation regarding Bittrex:
"Bittrex was not a good fit for Grantcoin, because their business model emphasizes high-volume cryptocurrencies that are frequently day-traded. Most investors and holders of Grantcoin, on the other hand, are holding the currency long-term and do not engage in high-frequency trading.The delisting from Bittrex changes nothing about the Grantcoin project. The Grantcoin team continues to actively develop our organization, technology, and Grantcoin Basic Income distribution program. Grantcoin can still be publicly traded on SouthXchange, and we will be pursuing additional third-party exchanges and solutions to make it easier for ordinary people to acquire and trade Grantcoin for other currencies — especially major currencies such as U.S. Dollars and Euros."

Urgent Update and News
By The Grantcoin Foundation
March 13, 2017

The Grantcoin Foundation has several news items to report:

1. Grantcoin will no longer be available for trading on Bittrex. Grantcoin will continue to trade on SouthXchange (see their GRT/BTC and GRT/USD markets).

Bittrex was not a good fit for Grantcoin, because their business model emphasizes high-volume cryptocurrencies that are frequently day-traded. Most investors and holders of Grantcoin, on the other hand, are holding the currency long-term and do not engage in high-frequency trading.

The delisting from Bittrex changes nothing about the Grantcoin project. The Grantcoin team continues to actively develop our organization, technology, and Grantcoin Basic Income distribution program. Grantcoin can still be publicly traded on SouthXchange, and we will be pursuing additional third-party exchanges and solutions to make it easier for ordinary people to acquire and trade Grantcoin for other currencies — especially major currencies such as U.S. Dollars and Euros.

2. Over $1,700 has been raised during the past two months, from 25 new donors in several countries. This is a significant increase from the rate of donations last year — and if this continues, our organization will be at least minimally financially sustainable. We want to thank everyone who has recently donated. You’re helping to keep the Grantcoin project going and giving hope to thousands of people in impoverished parts of the world.

3. Over 2,000 people have now signed up for Grantcoin Basic Income. Most of them are in developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America — places where a small basic income subsidy, saved over a period of years, could really make a difference in people’s lives.

4. We’re developing a Grantcoin savings account program for children in developing countries. Our team is drafting a proposal to present to two charities, one in Africa and one in Latin America, which have already expressed interest. We hope to expand the program to more charities in the future.

5. Ekata Social has started building an automated wallet creation system for recipients of Grantcoin Basic Income. We expect this to be ready by the next Grantcoin distribution at the end of April. This new technology will significantly reduce the workload of the Grantcoin team and enable the continued rapid growth of our Basic Income program.

We’re excited about all the great things that are happening for Grantcoin, and working hard to keep this world-changing project moving forward. Thank you for your support!
