Thursday, April 9, Noon ET: This week, on the Gridcoin Fireside....
There has been lots of discussion over the years on evolving Gridcoin

)
as well as discussions on what it would take to bring more projects and volunteers to distributed computing.
With the upcoming mandatory laying many of the foundational pillars necessary for these evolutions, Jim and I (and you!) will go live (or something.... I've forgotten how to do these...) on the Gridcoin Discord, Friday at noon ET to discuss the upcoming mandatory release, as well as some developments they enable, some of which are ready for testing.
Some questions for you -- either bring them to the Fireside, or leave them below if you can't join us live:
-
What would make a Gridcoin native compute infrastructure successful?
-
What is needed to get more researchers using distributed compute?
-
What is keeping YOU from setting up a distributed compute project?
Lettuce discuss.
