Promoting Gridcoin - Mining for Scientific Progress
(In case you haven't read about it yet, feel lucky to meet the next big thing)
Let's collect the growing efforts to promote Gridcoin and add to it.
This is a structured approach to let everyone see where his help is currently needed the most.
Maybe you offer a service on your own? - Please feel encouraged to mention it below.
Each promotion or point of acceptance would love to have a maintainer and progress-information.
I will update the OP with all ideas to finally get GRC connect all those ppl's heads!
This wasn't clear to me as well. The wallet says "boinc mining" and it's not true.
Also it's a pity I have compiled, installed, worked on it and boinc-end and I'll not get anything for days, cause I need to have stake power for a coin which currently I can't buy.
Not everybody's been following the coin for months.
I've gotten in a couple weeks ago and read a lot of docs, but I didn't notice that for POR I need POS, and it seems I'm not the only one.
To be an early adopter is never easy

LATEST News from the community:
We are ready to launch Gridcoin-Research in Oktober!
The main discussion board is located at CCT. Therefore, there was little to be heard on BCT.
Development efforts were coordinated at https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/464-gridcoin-grc/
What is the new client about:
Gridcoin benefits society and medical research by redirecting the massive computational force of the global hashing network to scientific programs like cancer research, Alzheimer's, AIDS and Malaria countermeasures. Desktop computers help in distributed tasks that progress science at Universities (e.g. protein folding). No special mining equipment is needed, computing tasks are too general for ASICs, so the currency stays decentralized!
By introducing Proof-of-Research, we are able to direct nearly all of the available processing power to advance science. Only a small overhead is necessary to secure network logistics. Which is by design the smallest footprint possible, as our network security model is improving on industry leading Proof-of-Stake implementations already being energy efficient. Proof-of-Research factors in mandatory BOINC participation for all clients in a cryptographically strong way. All of this is open source, go look into it!

For POR you need coins in your account that are "staked". This is not like POW where you find blocks with actual hashing!! You either need to convert old GRC classic to new POR GRC or you have to wait till the around the 20th of October when the POR GRC starts trading on the exchanges and get some POR GRC so you can start staking in your wallet!! IF you have no coins right now in your POR wallet you will not receive anything!! You need to have coins in your POR wallet!!
This wasn't clear to me as well. The wallet says "boinc mining" and it's not true.
