[![gridcoin-universe-header.png](https://s1.postimg.org/4erhd7tny7/gridcoin-universe-header.png)](https://gridcoin.us) # Gridcoin Community Hangout #052 --- ## This will be our first hangout in the Gridcoin [Discord](https://discord.gg/gc4gjQ6) channel! We hope to increase attendance by hosting the hangout in an application that people already idle in. So, come one, come all! :D ## Need some $GRC to get your wallet going? We will be giving away 5 FREE GRC to anyone that needs it, up to 100 GRC per hangout! Free Gridcoins are provided by the other members of the hangout as a kind gesture from the community. --- ## Want to suggest a topic to discuss? Reply with your suggestions in this Steemit post, or on the Reddit repost, and we will discuss your topic in chronological order of submission. ## Can we discuss anything? It's advisable to stay generally on topic, attendees are distributed around the world so they may not (likely won't) share the same views regarding controversial topics not related to Gridcoin/BOINC/computers/cryptocurrency. ## What is Gridcoin? Gridcoin securely rewards BOINC computation on top of Proof of Stake. Reward allocation is distributed, not centralized unlike other distributed computing related cryptocurrencies.
