Gridcoin Research 3.4.9.8/MSI=30.3
Mandatory Upgrade - Not a Hard Fork
Mandatory Upgrade for TestNet
 
- Fixed exchange related memory pool problems and transaction commit problem
- (Advanced users only): Added list memorypool
  Shows any tx in the raw memory pool rejected by the stakeminer and the reason code
  Shows any tx included in the memory pool accepted by the stakeminer
- TestNet: Fixed checkblock error

It will compliment the exchanges and not in competition. It's more like a platform to buy and sell options.

There are many things I do not understand either. You are not alone And yes, I'm proud to be "mining" GRC for I know, for every GRC I generate, research is being done that will propel the humankind forward. Be it the protein folding research done by Rosetta, or clean water by World Community Grid, every work unit your computer computes and send back to the projects, gets us closer.

I'm guilty of buying some myself. LOL. GRC is currently very very undervalued. I mean, seriously. Look at the tech we have in the coin. It's definitely worth a lot more than what it is now. And the new features we are testing in testnet, would bring even more value to GRC. And Rob's new idea blew my mind. In coin options exchange.

To quote Rob,

Quez,

Something seems to be brewing. I can't really put a finger to it but past weeks have seen some big volume at CCEX and Trex.

GRC are changing hands, that's for certain...

Yes... WCG should be voted in, but WCG is not going to mention Gridcoin. Unless you mean we should be posting comments.

Not trying to be a dick but...

Even if you make a few hundred post, activity won't really move. It's a combination of post plus.. days of being active (reading?) here. The info can be found somewhere.. but.. can't remember where. LOL

We need more votes ppl
