## @CM-Steem from the #Gridcoin community attended the 209th BeyondBitcoin hangout episode and talked about the following:

### About Gridcoin
<a href="https://gridcoin.us">Gridcoin</a> is a cryptocurrency which securely rewards BOINC computation (volunteer distributed computing projects which attempt to cure diseases, map the milkyway, search for extraterrestrial life, etc) on top of proof of stake.

Anyone can create a BOINC project to create a distributed cloud service of their own desire, we can reward your users on your behalf as opposed to you paying for computation up front.

### Topics I shall be discussing/covering during my beyondbitcoin talking slot:

(Note: More details are going to be included the closer we get to recording).

#### Trading info
* Since the 208th BeyondBitcoin hangout, the market cap has traded between $0.023 and $0.04 with an average 24hr trading volume in the 6 figures throughout the week, primarily on Poloniex (however we have [full Bitshares support via OPEN.GRC](http://cryptofresh.com/a/OPEN.GRC)!)

* BTSBOTS isn't working for me at the moment, the Android client locks up and I cannot login to the web client. I'm looking forwards to upcoming Bitshares trading software for an automated market making setup on the Bitshares DEX.

#### Community
* [Team Gridcoin is currently #1 in FormulaBOINC (a year long competition)](http://formula-boinc.org/):

![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUVTkzFQu1kzf6yzoB8mR9BcVhGWgh8kkmaVCKEcMg7aF/top8.gif)
* We have continued holding Gridcoin community hangouts on a fortnightly basis, the next hangout is the [32nd hangout on the 10th June](https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@cm-steem/gridcoin-community-hangout-032-10th-june-2017-9pm-gmt-rsvp-and-suggest-topics) (Next Saturday at 9PM BST ([compare to your timezone!](http://everytimezone.com/#2017-6-10,480,cn3))). Everyone's welcome to join in!
* At our current pace, [sometime in July we'll overtake the Czech National Team and SETI.Germany, moving from 4th place to 2nd place in the BOINC Combined (non ASIC) leaderboards](https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-5/team/list/)! We're still a little ways from 1st, but maybe with a little growth we can take the #1 spot from Sicituradastra by the end of 2017.
* We have a total of 112 Gridcoin community tasks, some include bounties such as improving the NN mechanism for 200k GRC (~$6500). I [logged intelliguy's request for improved documentation](https://github.com/Erkan-Yilmaz/Gridcoin-tasks/issues/119#issuecomment-304945438) during the 208th BeyondBitcoin hangout; your suggestions will be taken into account - your input matters!
* [Gridcoin content playlists posted to Steemit](https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@cm-steem/tune-into-some-gridcoin-content-tonight-community-hangouts-boinc-interviews-and-beyondbitcoin-appearances)! I will be including soundcloud playlist content in relevant posts in the future.
* Telegram group chat updates
  * [Gridcoin](https://t.me/gridcoin) - 129 members!
  * [Gridcoin IRC](https://t.me/GridcoinIRC) - 18 members (talking to 100+ IRC members)!
  * NEW: [BOINC](https://t.me/BOINC_Telegram) - 18 members! This telegram super group aims to be team neutral!

### Development
* Several new volunteer developers have been working heavily on researching the Gridcoin client and have begun producing improvement proposals regarding the staking and voting and reward mechanisms. The surge in new developers is an excellent development within the Gridcoin community.
* Reminder of upcoming client release changes
   * Large UI changes
   * RAM reduction
* A large amount of work improving the client translations has been completed by the community, once we've implemented these new translations we aim to seek integration on Japanese/Korean exchanges (where BTC price is being driven). We hope to reach out to their national BOINC teams for cooperation once we remove the mandatory team Gridcoin requirement within out client in the future.
* I have recently upgraded the [Project Rain](https://github.com/grctest/project-rain-site) GitHub repo to be compatible with the latest release of the BOINC code base (bootstrap was introduced, requiring an overhaul). I will be creating a Steemit post regarding Project Rain in the near future - I'll be asking users to suggest new coins to support (EOS needs a field for example).
