Another update, not directly directly related to gridcoin but kind of interesting;

Byteball, a new crypto, has just had a bot launched that gives Bytes (byteball's currency) and tokens for people based on work they did for World Community Grid.
Posting the Medium link because they did a better writeup there than I can, definitely check it out!
