I totaly get you, and it crossed my mind several times too if it is worth the effort. It can get very frustrating trying to drive gridcoin development forward. At times it feels like constantly working

I agree. If you don't run the wallet because it is not comfortable for you, or you flat out don't care about the network you should not be rewarded.

It is possible but I think the goal should be to make the gui very easy to use. Maybe we create a normal and advanced option for the gui at some point.

Good idea. I will try it out.

The idea is nice but weather prediction is a rather complex process. Lets assume you are able to get all the raw data from the weather stations which might be a challenge on its own and a considerable

If someone came up with a reliable and fair system to payout gridcoin for BOINC work independent of the projects you choose, that would be great. But I doubt that this is possible with the current BOINC

You missed the point that even with solution #2 you still don't know wich project did more work. In terms of computations done/Tflops. The 10 users of project B could still have 1000 computers crunching

Just saw that GRCtip is back in the IRC channel. Already made some rain after a long drought.

I agree. I am also a fan of constructive criticism. We can point out alot of things that are not ideal but it is much more important to think about what we can do about it. You cannot change history. So

I don't really get what your key point is. The current reward mechanism? The previous reward mechanisms? The low price? Gridcoin is around since the end of 2013. Back then it was a proof of work coin wich

I agree, they should be seperate. I didn't propose to change that. The PoB rewards should work exactly the same as before just paying out less. Instead of 50,000 GRC per 1000 blocks there would be 30,000

I agree, gridcoin is right now in a very comfortable position with a huge foundation fund. But right now it is not really used. And if it were, these reserves would shrink fast. Right now gridcoin depends

Maybe I haven't been clear enough about that, I am actually proposing a static PoS reward. Currently the PoB reward is kind of static but the PoS reward not. I think we need to change that. But I think

I wrote a little something on the gridcoin reward mechanism. It is touching fixed block rewards, research vs staking rewards and future project funding. Might be worth discussing.

I have not really looked into golem but it might be possible to create a BOINC project that runs golem. ;)

Cool! I think a static page would do fine since there are not that many posts if the focus is on the important stuff. Or it could be like a monthly summary of whats going on in the gridcoin space. I believe

Sounds good. Maybe it is also a good idea to move content that changes frequently to the wiki. The whitelist for example. Then the focus of the website could be to provide a simple and informative overview

You can discuss gui changes. I made some small changes:

Maybe you can discuss a solution for the hangout release delay. As the hangouts are supposed to be for the community everyone should be able to inform himself about the discussions taking place in the

telegram supports bots, right? So how about creating a tip bot for telegram? Just an idea, feel free to take it and create the bot ;-)
