## 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!

## What is Gridcoin?

Gridcoin securely rewards [BOINC](https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) computation on top of Proof of Stake. Reward allocation is distributed, not centralized unlike other distributed computing related cryptocurrencies.

## Live voice support will commence afterwards. New and old users alike are encouraged to join. :)
