Thank you very much for your detailed comment, @johniec.
"Typing gibberish into console windows, joining multiple crypto websites to get bitcoin then trade it for gridcoin then send it to your wallet after you've troubleshot a few unexpected errors..."
When did you start with Gridcoin? Was it Gridcoin classic, before the burn process?
I started in October of 2015 (according to my wallet). I think that was after Gridcoin classic, but still many versions of the wallet ago. Some setup and most troubleshooting was in the console. I was new to cryptocurrency so that added several steps in terms of figuring out the right sites to join to get bitcoin and trade it for Gridcoin (which are the most secure, which can you use based on your country of residence, etc.). My computer crashed once with the wallet open and getting the wallet to work again was pretty technical/challenging for me. I am still really glad I stuck with it, just sharing since we are hoping to attract new people from new backgrounds.
