The association between Steemit and Gridcoin is that Steemit provides our community a platform to discuss our technology and developments without fear of constant censorship.

Due to Gridcoin's team requirement, we often get banned on other BOINC forums/websites for discussing gridcoin. I've been banned from multiple subreddits and even encountered extreme censorship on /r/BOINC.

I'm optimistic about the future of Steemit and am constantly encouraging the Gridcoin community to use it over centralized alternative platforms.
