The Gridcoin Fireside: Recent Episodes
Gridcoin Network
The Gridcoin Fireside is a participatory podcast hosted on the Gridcoin discord server. This means you, listener, help guide the direction of each episode!
Every Friday at 3:30pm ET your dedicated hosts bring discussion topics and everyone is welcome to share their thoughts. Topics can range from Gridcoin, blockchain, and cryptocurrency news to network and game theory to the future of FOSS to interesting anecdotes... but while the hosts bring the main topics, the ultimate direction of the show is decided by the live "studio" audience!
All you have to do to participate is join the Gridcoin discord (linked below) and take part in the live recording every Friday at 3:30pm ET.
If you can't join the live recordings, feel free to reach out on discord with your ideas and we will do our best to integrate your suggestions or thoughts into a future episode.
Otherwise, we hope you enjoy listening to show! Each episode is uploaded 1-3 days after the live recording session.

This week we discuss how one might use blockchain and cryptocurrency technology and principles to build a premissionless grant mechanism as part of an entirely new and dyanmic economic structure grounded in a decentralized system of science. https://nsf.gov/pubs/2020/nsf20534/nsf20534.htm (NSF Call for proposals) https://www.reddit.com/r/gridcoin/comments/fds1or/vote_proposal_mandatory_donations/ (Relevant Thread)
This week we discuss Gridcoin economics, potential futures for Gridcoin, and cryptoeconomics in general.
This week we introduce the world of decentralized science, the probable future of the scientific system. We explore what it means for the structures of science and why it is not only likely to manifest, but why it is critical that it does.
This week we dive into some of the specifics of the Gridcoin protocol. How does it mint currency? Where does that currency go? What sort of technology does it use? And more! Bring your questions and we'll be sure to answer.
This week we introduce cryptocurrency, blockchain tech, and Gridcoin! https://discord.gg/jf9XX4a (Gridcoin Discord) https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Tasks/issues/227 (Poll Definitions, Requirements, and Validation Parameters)
