First, a huge thank you to Nethlek for leading this week's episode. If you see him around give him hug for me. Anyway.

In this episode we discuss some developments expected with the Fern mandatory update. The main focus is on the new superblock mechanism that will be replacing the quorum process for superblock creation. No idea what I'm talking about? Have a listen to the episode!

This week delta1512 introduced us to World Community Grid.

WCG is a BOINC project run by IBM that aims to solve immediately applicable problems to the human race. Mainly they specialise in trying to cure disease and cancer but have done other applicable projects in the past.

What is Gridcoin?

Gridcoin is a multi-incentive permissionless blockchain initiated in 2013. It mints and distributes cryptocurrency in relation to the processing power a network participant directs toward data-driven analysis and scientific discovery, as well as through a proof-of-stake reward mechanism. The Gridcoin blockchain monitors processing contributions to the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Networked Computing (BOINC). BOINC hosts major institutional computing projects such as IBM’s World Community Grid, SETI, and CERN, alongside projects developed by students, enthusiasts, mathematicians, researchers, and citizen scientists. Access to Gridcoin's computation resources is free, while computation contributors are incentivized with cryptocurrency minted by the Gridcoin protocol.
