RE: Gridcoin Community Hangout #030 - 13th May 2017 @ 9PM GMT (RSVP & Suggest topics!)

in #gridcoin7 years ago (edited)

I fully understand the frustration that some people feel when it comes to getting involved in crypto-currency.

The subject is very daunting and it can often be difficult to get ones head around the nuances of the subject matter.

I free lance as a personal tutor for those of the 'older generation' who feel that they have been left behind.

The majority of these people are often too 'scared' to really use a computer, or in some cases don't even own one.

However, the willingness to learn and continue learning is the hump we all have to get over in order to progress in modern life, I still see and nurture it in the persons I assist .

I have helped many persons, from all walks of life, to achieve their digital goals.
Their goal may be as simple as learning to send an email to writing a book and publishing it on-line.

In fact my 'star protege' is 89 years old and is now an emailer, skyper and google researcher and has published her first book on-line. Not a bad achievement at any age.

There's no limit to what we can personally achieve and there are no real barriers once you have access to the internet.

Yay! We need more people to do this...more awareness about it. I think there are a lot of people out there who are functioning on only one 'thruster' who get by using tricks and shortcuts without real understanding of the system and I think these people have the picture skewed. Its as if you are supposed to know before you get the chance to learn it. Thanks for the response.

You are most welcome to join the Gridcoin IRC help channel and get more information on how to get BOINC and a Gridcoin wallet up and running.

We are a friendly and transparent community.
