If you want a new Gridcoin poll created, reply below.

Why here ? because @grctest will see it much faster

Gridcoin polls: January 2017, February 2017

@grctest said in #43:
"A better poll would ask if they had read the github issue and huppdiwupp's proposals (as a pre-req checklist), then ask if they are content with the current pos:dpor balance or if they would prefer one of huppdiwupp's proposals as well as include 'posv3' features as options (fixed rewards, no offline interest gained)."

Alternatively, anyone wishing to create polls themselves can acquire the minimum balance of 100k GRC ;D

I will create polls for users though, please provide the exact question, answers and an url. Cheers.

With regards to the above poll, I'll create it after another week or two of discussion (Especially in the github issue & the DPOR stake weight thread).

in hangout 1 + 3 + 4(with SETI desired, see #59) we were talking about team challenges and raining on them. In session 3 came up to fund it via foundation funds.

why ?

• publicity when suddenly we win all challenges (because more users than normal participate in the team challenges)
• users are not so willing to join the team challenges because they'd lose magnitude from their current projects

So, as poll title:

• How much GRCs should the foundation spend as rain on the team challenge users per month ?

answers:

• 0 GRC
• less than 1000 GRC
• 1k-10k GRC
• 10k-50k GRC
• 50k-100k GRC
• more than 100k GRC

And then has to be decided how to divide that amount over all challenges in that month.

Pretty please could we have a poll for adding DENIS@Home back to the whitelist.

News - January 4th
http://denis.usj.es/launch-of-new-application/
"As some of you have noticed, there are new WUs in the system. We are starting with a small peak of work, but the idea is to maintain a continuous flow of new WUs."

And the latest news from a few days ago is even better! Next week he is going to the 61st Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society to present findings as a result of the project already! Team Gridcoin could be a big help with his research into what makes heart's tick at a cellular level, and a better understanding of cardiac issues.

Regarding WU flow; http://denis.usj.es/denishome/project-status/
I have been looking at "Tasks ready to send" for over a week now and it has consistently had work.
The WU's run on a wide range of hardware as well, including BOINC Android (Samsung S3), and are not resource intensive (RAM etc).

Thanks

re: DENIS@home poll

• 73% of the voter shares did NOT want DENIS in the whitelist, see Should DENIS be whitelisted?
