### <center>**#1  -- @Peerplays**</center>
Jonathon Bahai of Peerplays.  Last week, they announced their  new [Peerplays website](http://www.peerplays.com) where anyone can join to see the latest updates on the Peerplays project.  This week Jonathon is happy to announce that new additions have been made since the launch of the new site.  He urges everyone to visit the site and see the new improvements and additions.

He announces that they are doing some upgrades that will require them to reset the testnet.  This means that accounts on the current chain will no longer be available and will need to be either recreated or reimported in the case of those claiming their sharedrops.

Along with the update to the chain will come some new benefits:  
	-They have now included market balances so when you go to check your balance, it will be exactly the amount of peerplays as you will be receiving.  This fixes the previous issue of estimated balances, exchanging it for precise balances.
 - Updates to tournaments
 - GUI updates
 - Logic for the On-Chain game is finished and now being connected to its GUI!

@fuzzy asks about when witnesses can start getting spun up. @faddat asks about plans to update the JSON to a more standard form...and more!

### <center>**#2 @cm-steem of Gridcoin**</center>

@cm-steem reminds everyone of the weekly Gridcoin (GRC) hangouts every Saturday at 9pm UCT in the BeyondBitcoin Server.  Attending these hangouts will soon reward you with GRC Tokens!  

It brings us great sadness to announce the protein folding project for GRC has now reached its requirements and is shutting down.  However, where there are ends, there are always new beginnings! @cm-steem announces the Resolution of some of the polls discussed last week for whitelisting Two new projects [VGTU](https://boinc.vgtu.lt/) and [SRBase](https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=9873)! Congratualtions! 
Announces new poll questions requesting input.   

Quick reminder to the audience that trading has commenced between GRC and its two primary trading pairs on [Open Ledger](https://openledger.info/) (BTC and BTS).  GRC is now in its second week on [Coinomi](https://coinomi.com/) multicryptocurrency wallet for android! Check it out!  

And much more in the hangout!

Finally.  Don't forget that Project Rain lets you send new tokens to all 500,000 active BOINC users.  Sharedrop on a community **Older than Bitcoin**!

"Steemprentice Mentoring Initiative is a group to essentially crowdsource help from veteran users for those that are new, frustrated, or just wanting to learn." ~@virtualgrowth

@virtualgrowth & @sykochica join us to talk about multiple projects they are working on and how they are pivoting on some due to feedback they have received (and not received).  

@virtualgrowth talks a little bit about his steem spotlight efforts and announces steemprentice, created by @sychochika, has now reached over 240 users!  He has noticed that his steem spotlight efforts are now beginning to pay off as his following increases and more people begin voting for his work.  We reach the conclusion of this topic with a reminder that steem spotlight posts helps also give recognition to those who are doing innovative and valuable services for the steem community.  

Next, @virtualgrowth discusses Steemland and the possibilities to work with groups in yrgrid to show slideshows and presentations.  We also discuss virtual steemfest, which will become a big option for those who cannot physically attend steemfest.  If you would like to join, the prerequisite is to [download YRGrid] (http://www.yrgrid.com/).  He also updates everyone that he is trying to play poker live with funding from upvotes in hopes of sharing winnings with those who upvote him.  

The discussion turns to steem, the system for powering down and a more meta discussion that emerges about steem finding itself and dealing with the growing pains.  Listen in for @virtualgrowth's big announcement!  Can you tell what it is or will you *miss it*?

@solomon-adekale then moves on to a quick update for his project and why he joins beyondbitcoin hangouts:

 - His experience with the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and testing on a focus group of females with this.
