Over the last three months I worked several evenings on the Gridcoin Technical Whitepaper. I worked mostly alone, but the result is still a community work because I sourced many pieces from all around the web:

</a>

The whitepaper was compiled with <a href="https://miktex.org/2.9/setup">MikTex 2.9</a>, and the result is visible here:

@thecharlatan created the Whitepaper github repository:
https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Whitepaper
There were 100 commits until now.

 I sourced the structure from this anonymous Google Document:

I took several sections from the Gridcoin Wiki for the chapter Proof of Research:

The introduction is of @jringo. Mathematical details about BOINC Recent Average Credit (RAC) are taken from this steemit article by @jefpatat:

The violet pictures were done by @joshoeah and @barton26 did a grammar revision of the whole text as my mother tongue is Italian, through later I added and reworked some sections.

If you have corrections or extensions, you can either checkout the github repository and do a pull request or ask to write permission for the github repository or you can simply write in the comments below. I will implement changes evening by evening.

I heard there is a bounty pending on this task, so if this whitepaper should get the bounty I will do an effort to divide the Gridcoins among contributors/reviewers based on how critical the contribution is. If you recognize sections done by yourself let me know.
