First of All, I would like to say thanks to @hotbit, @confuest, @delta1512 for their fantastic works on the main project, this one is based upon. You can read more about BOINCOS here. And the fantastic artwork is made by @joshoeah that I was unfortunately still not printed correctly. If i missed someone, please let me know, and rest assured is just due to making post in hurry. But in overal, thanks for all the members of GridCoin team both here, on Slack and everywhere for supporting our projects.
This project, is a GridPI derivate project, but based on work by authors mentioned above, in an attempt to make a product that will have commercial potential but also help scientific network.
Anyway, what's the thing about.
We are going to give-away few devices for the purpose of testing. This will be totally free of any charge, including postal costs.
Requirements:
- You are a person in need for a wireless repeater.
- You plan to actively use that repeater.
- You are not yet into GridCoins, or plan to engage into GridCoins during the period of testing.
- You are ready to make a post from time to time on steemit, describing your experience with the Repeater.
- You are ready not to mess with the device configuration during the testing period.
- You have a good reputation here. It's not important how much power you have, but reputation does matter, as we don't want random users that we will never hear of.
- You can use it on a network that do not transmit sensitive data or provides access to a mission critical system.
We take no responsibility for any data loss, so test it only on non-mission critical networks
After the testing period, of about two months, you are absolutely free to keep the device and do whatever you like with it. You may also expect a small bounty for being helpful in the process. I am not going to announce details, but will make sure to put a smile on your face, and a warm welcome to GridCoin Community.
Why?
The device you are about to get is going to perform a function of a wireless repeater. This is what we want to pack as a main product. Besides of that, the device is also going to run a small node that support scientific research network. We want to obtain an objective opinion if the device is capable to meet the expectations of average consumer while performing tasks to support the network. This is crucial in order to determinate if we can go out and try to ship this as a product, making no profit out of it, but supporting the network.
This is what you will get, along with the USB power cable.
