• Came 1st in the 2016 FormulaBOINC challenge
• Gridcoin rewards verified volunteer distributed computing on behalf of BOINC project administrators on top of proof of stake.
• We've been holding dozens of decentralized polls!
• Gridcoin has recently been integrated into Coinomi, CoinPayments.Net & OpenLedger.
• Team Gridcoin now has 100k+ hosts crunching for science!
• The BOINC community has 200k+ active volunteers and a total of 4million+ volunteers. There is significant room for the Gridcoin userbase to grow within the BOINC community.

mentioned in hangout 6:

• from where does Gridcoin get its value ?
  • more energy efficient than Bitcoin
  • faster block/confirmation times
  • buying b/c: increase vote weight, speculators, raining
  • active, transparent community, see e.g. IRC, mumbles
  • helping science
  • when one stops with a coin, here at GRC you can still use your PC for other things, while an ASIC may not be suitable for all things
