I really like this coin. There's something very down to earth about it. Maybe it's the name or that it's just quietly pacing along, but I like the small PoS stake that should provide much needed stability when it hits an exchange.

Feel like I'm a bit late to the game, though. I don't have a great mining rig, so anyone who also deals in other altcoins, I have a trading thread here if you are willing to trade a few grains.

I pool mined for about 12 hours. Now I'm going to solo mine for the same amount of time and see where that gets me.
Good thing about this coin is that the difficulty is still very low. It has only about tripled since i started mining it (2nd day from launch). So you are not late yet. Will be late when it hits an exchange. Difficulty will probably jump over 10x very fast. Ofc we don't know when/if it hits an exchange, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't at some point. Developer is actively cummunicating with the supporters/miners and takes care of issues if there are any. Also both current pool owner's actively post here.

I like the slow organic growth model.  Careful, deliberate  and cooperative development are the only novel ideas I've heard in crypto for a while.  I think this could be a good coin to bring together the elements of crypto currency that don't care for meme coins and pump and dumps.  We "others" could rally behind this and go somewhere.  Do things right, like concentrate on charitable works that could use GRA.  If we could make a GRA food bank how amazing would that be?

This is a great idea, we'll think about and work on it Smiley
