RE: Beyond Bitcoin: Community Allstar Outreach (GridCoin) -- Help us reach out!

in #beyondbitcoin8 years ago

Took me a while to get enough karma to register here, my post from cryptocointalk:

I guess I'll toot my own horn (toot toot); I've been into Gridcoin for over 2 years now, the very early days were a tad heated (small community & switching from POW to POS caused passionate flamewars - mainly caused by myself) but with several thousand new community members over the last couple years it's become a far more active cryptocurrency community & has a very bright future ahead of itself. I also post using the nickname 'derpathon'.

I maintain the official gridcoin website: https://gridcoin.us (non-propriatery: https://github.com/grctest/Gridcoin-Site)
I run a few full nodes: https://grcnode.co.uk https://github.com/grctest/grcnode

Getting added to BTS in the future would be excellent, I've been looking into creating custom beacons (https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/44611-monitoring-selfburn-addresses-for-custom-beacons/) on the Gridcoin blockchain for Gridcoin users to match their BTS account (or other crypto accounts/addresses) to their CPID, meaning we could potentially issue 'user issued assets' proportionally to users BOINC computation. At the moment this could mean distributing an UIA across 2000-6000 users, but the entire BOINC community is in the region of several million users so we've got significant room to grow our userbase.

Several 'all-star' community members (off the top of my head):
Rob Halford (main/lead developer)
Typhoon (Runs a full node & has been a long term member)
RTMoney (Runs http://gridresearchcorp.com)
Sepulcher (Runs http://explorer.gridcoin.asia , the reddit & irc tipbots, a couple misc irc bots, irpg and games on irc and hosts a full node in singapore)
Caraka (Maintains the debian/ubuntu packages)
Marix (Maintains the opensuse/fedora packages)
Katiee (Runs http://pool.gridcoin.co and a couple bots on IRC)
Quez (Quezacotl on IRC - behind PIGrid)
dastholo (Runs several bots to bridge communications between telegram/irc/slack)

There's many Gridcoin users I'll have probably missed out, sorry to those I have missed.

There's a good few dozen gridcoin users that maintain a constant presence on the Gridcoin IRC channel that are a huge credit to the community, without them I'd be pretty bored :P
