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

[customminer]

I agree, I think Rob is a little overburdened right now with development of Gridcoin client, I can rearrange the first page of this thread with all the new relevant information very well, but I am not sure if it is possible unless it is done from Rob's account. I am not sure I can get admin privilege.

Hey guys! All people are worried about mining, but as important as mining is to find market to this coin. In last days there has been a huge investment in the cryptocoin market and we need to join efforts for our coin to follow this tendency, since until now there was no valorization. There is some aspects that need a urgent change, a few examples:
- Both the official sites and main pages of forum must be periodically updated. Some important information is missing: all sites where the coin is exchanged, the twitter and facebook pages, vote pages to add the coin to a new exchange.
- The first and the second sites should be merged. Alternatively, It there should be a link from one to other. The first site should contain more information.
- The Logo should be updated in coinmarketcap.com
 

Thanks for taking care of the twitter acc.

+1 to help with the posts etc.
I'll gladly help too.
I don't have any programming skills(apart from Matlab which probably doesn't count here ) however I would probably be able to help with keeping website/facebook etc. content up to date. etc.

Andrew.

If we can get in contact with the guy who created the /r/gridcoin subreddit, we should assign a few new mods to spruce the place up - include sidebar content, and flair etc. I'll gladly volunteer

I just added https://poloniex.com/exchange/btc_grc
https://www.allcrypt.com/market
https://c-cex.com/ to our page 1 exchange list.

If we have anything else that needs edited, send me a concise list and I will edit the page.

I'm looking for a person who may want to create a FAQ list so that we can post on the FAQ page on Gridcoin.us.

Regarding consolidating sites, I am already working with Aysyr on that.

Regarding overload, the problem is I have a day job and it is a tad busy lately.

agreed.. tighten up things.. maybe bring in some help if its too much work too ?

This is a REAL Altcoin and is in 1000 leagues ahead of crappy clone coins posted hourly by shadowy scammers.

didn't know it was on coinmarketcap either.. i don't go there anymore these days

[traderman]

Yep we are listed on coinmarketcap.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to let you know.

Yesterday I sent e-mails to most of the major exchanges to add us and I think I have some good news for you.
Rob I hope you don't mind me taking this step, but I know you're super busy and wanted to help(also I included contact@gridcoin.us so they can contact you directly)

Overall the feedback on Gridcoin is very positive and exchanges are starting to see the value it's bringing to cryptocurrencies.

Voted in all of them...Thanks!

But I think we have a bigger problem, people need to be educated how and when to sell coins, because having coins in another exchangers will not solve the problems...People are selling at very low prices...I can't understand how they make a profit this way

...how they make a profit this way  

They don't make any profit.

I think at this point somebody is simply panic selling or was heavily invested in Gridcoin and needs money..so selling at a big loss.

This has nothing to do with the real value and amazing potential of Gridcoin.
Look at it this way:
1. In recent days we have broken many records at BOINC including going over 100 million total credits.
2. Daily credit record is going to be broken again today.
3. Rob has released scrypt-sleep and after everyone upgraded it's working just perfect now. In the couple days since it's live we've broken the credit records..think of what will happen in a week or a month.
4. We're being added and considered by more and more exchanges and services.
5. There are plans discussed and considered for the future of Gridcoin that will ensure that Gridcoin will be more innovative, more easy to setup and will do a lot more work for BOINC which has always been very important.
6. Also both the 2 main exchanges where Gridcoin is traded have recently been hacked which also affected the price. Both exchanges resolved the issues and are up and running.

I personally have a big investment in Gridcoin and think of it that way, I'm in for the long haul and I won't be selling until we hit atleast Top 10 on http://coinmarketcap.com/

Am I happy that the price has gone down? Of course not! However I know that this is only a temporary situation and the future of Gridcoin is very bright.
I actually started buying a little.

Have a great day everyone,
Andrew.

Amazing job everyone!

[traderman]

I think @ the pace we are going in a few months we might move into the top 10 of the entire world.
Gridcoin also broke the 100 million total credits mark today!

+1

I agree with you in all points!

I think we just need a little more time to everyone upgrade to last version because I'm still having problems with sync, sometimes my GPU's keep working when they should be sleeping because of my wallet out of sync, it stays stuck at some block giving a smaller % of sleep of what really it is, and the reverse also happens, keeping stuck at a higher % of sleep keeping my GPU's working for Boinc.

Hope everyone upgrade wallet soon 

John
