GridShell even though in a "pause" state is still being developed by me with less recent pushes to GIT. However You can definitely give it a try - it is perfectly doable, at any point in time.
Hardware: Any ESP32 will actually work, some model's i have tested during the play time with the project are:

As for the tokens, these are strictly utility tokens that are part of the GridShell environment, these are earned and burned by the users who actually run jobs on the network itself. See here for a more detailed description on the purpose of these as part of the GridShell ecosystem.
You're more than welcome to try out having some fun with the project, i am happy to help with any questions you'll have!

Dear @invpe ,
I just found out about Gridshell recently, looks like an interesting project :) Thank you for your hard work on this one !
I'm really interested in distributed computing, and I'm already contributing to BOINC, distributed.net, Mersenne / GIMPS, Fishtest, etc...
I have two questions regarding GridShell:
1) Which ESP32 device would you recommend to give Gridshell a try (if that's still possible) ? 2) I understand you can earn tokens when participating in the GridShell network. Have you considered using Gridcoin for that matter ?
