Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread

[jamescowens]

That was a very graceful letter from Rob, and merely formalizes what has been operationally true for some time.

Letter of Resignation from Rob:
http://pool.biblepay.org/SAN/Theology/Letter_of_Resignation_Gridcoin.pdf

Since James commented on this i presume this is genuine?
Is it possible that Rob is the developer of Biblepay?

Greetz, djoser.

[jamescowens]

He is indeed.

Is this coin still alive and kicking? Any roadmap?

I see that trade is almost down to zero

[jamescowens]

Yes it is alive and kicking. The core team doesn't post here very often. Please visit us on Discord or Slack or take a look at the Steemit pages.

I think you have sleeping and extinct mixed up.

While what you tell could be correct, there is one more possibility - probably he meant to say "dinosaur" instead of "dragon".
Dragons cannot extinct, as they did not exist in the first place, while dinosaurs actually existed before extinction, which makes them a better match for GRC.

Those are just some random observations though . I am sure maintainers - oh sorry I meant developers - have a different, more original view of things, unfortunately expressed in details inside their Slack and Discord only.

[jamescowens]

We would be happy to see you on Discord or Slack. We often post things on Reddit and Steemit too. There is a significant amount of active development going on. Compare our https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/graphs/contributors commit velocity to some other coins similar to us. Note that contributor page only accounts for commits to master. So there is a bunch in the development branch that hasn't been counted yet.

The core developers are pleased to present the 4.0.5.0 Elizabeth milestone leisure release. This is a leisure release primarily aimed at non-mandatory items and bug fixes leading up to the Fern mandatory milestone release.

This release also enables us to whitelist teams other than Gridcoin as a stepping stone for the implementation of no team requirement in Fern.

Enjoy!

I see that I must pull my coins from Bittrex. Which wallet do you recommend and where can I download it? Link "Wallet Downloads" on Homepage does not seem to work, at least not for me
