We are past this phase in Golem. You can buy GNT (Golem Network Tokens) via exchanges listed here: https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/golem-network-tokens/#markets
You simply make an account, transfer some money, and buy Golem tokens.
crazy how this is dropping. I understand no brass as of yet but the uncertainty is fud in my opinion and we are #34 in https://coinmarketcap.com/ I find that crazy but its just me and i'm up late partying.
We are at the alpha testnet at the moment, Brass is due for "early 2018". Until then you can't earn the GNT that is traded right now on the exchanges. But it surely helps the project if you hook up your machines up to the testnet and crunch away some tasks!
I use IFTTT to receive an email every time Golem Project posts a tweet/reply on Twitter, saves me coming to this page multiple times a day...figured it would be a good way to keep up to date
It has potential to be another gamecredits

That said, I have no idea. I am mining this coin currently due to the fact that I can yeild a few hundred a day of my gaming rigs. I think this coin is a long hold, but in the short term I am shape shifting all my results into GNT. which has brass release coming soon. once brass hits I will retain some DGB to hold in hopes it follows suit with gamecoin.
DISCLAIMER: I belong at /r/wallstreetbets so I am not the best person to sk for financial advice.
EDIT: That bot... describes why I make the disclaimer perfectly.
EDIT EDIT: I thought this was in the DGB sub. Check my comment history for a quick and dirty guide I replied to someone one for getting started mining.
The issue I have with this is the largest volume of GNT trading is done in BTC not ETH. Even though it was originally sold for ETH most people buy or sell today with BTC.

I think it's a descending triangle pattern forming (which is agnostic for crypto... it could break up OR down). We have descending volume spikes, the MACD signal line is making it's way back to the 0 mark too. This looks like consolidation before a reasonably big move for this week in my opinion. https://www.coinigy.com/s/i/59971182be115/
As the title suggest, a friend and myself have been working hard on Delta, a cryptocoin portfolio manager so you can easily keep track of all your trading activity. :)
It's quite similar to Blockfolio but since we used BF a lot ourselves, we thought it could be improved. So here is our first try. We'll continue adding features of course. Highlights are probably that you can keep track of ICO's that aren't one exchanges yet. As well as 'Deduct/Add from holdings'.
You can download it for free straight away via https://getdelta.io
Looking forward to your feedback! We know some stuff is still missing but we're super motivated to add a lot of extra features in the coming weeks and months.
PS: We actually pushed our second update already, which you can read more about here: https://medium.com/getdelta/delta-1-2-is-available-now-2c5327f3625f
I currently use https://www.exodus.io/ as do a lot of others on this sub. There are also links to 3 more ways to store your GNT in the sidebar of the sub.
Edit: Exodus is not a hardware wallet, my apologies.
1 billion is the total number of tokens created. Only 820 million were distributed to crowdfunding participants.

Page 7 has the full breakdown of distribution
Edit: corrected the whitepaper link to final version
I suggest you do your own TA or look at some of the chart analysis other traders offer (see for instance Tradingview.com). You will see that most suggest that the GTBTC chart looks very promising and that yesterday might have been a first leg of a new cycle followed by todays consolidation step. Step 3 is potentially kicking in very soon. The overall patter (C&H is suggested by many) looks extremely positive, which might bring us to 25k sat with consolidation steps at 16k and 18k). GNTUSD looks equally positive. But having said all this, you should check it out.
https://changelly.com/ is your best bet, it supports a ton of altcoins directly from USD. Its fees are really high though, so much so that it is significantly cheaper for me to buy ETH on coinbase and then convert that ETH into GNT on shapeshift.io.
Typically I use my ETH to buy alts on shapeshift, then use USD to cover however much ETH I lost so I am essentially using USD to buy an altcoin.
I see that Clay released a few weeks ago. Essentially no effect on price. I guess when a project is so insanely late, people lose interest.
It was over two years late, on a 15 month schedule:
Golem White paper: https://golem.network/crowdfunding/Golemwhitepaper.pdf
>Clay Golem should be delivered within 15 months after end of crowdfunding period
ICO date: https://icobench.com/ico/golem
November 16, 2016.
Adding 1.25 years to the ICO date gives ~February 2018. The date of release of Clay Golem Beta 0.23.0 was April 2, 2020 according to the blog.
Golem was a neat idea, but it's become irrelevant. Anyone looking for distributed computing has much faster and more reliable options available.
3 months shy of two years in "Beta": https://themerkle.com/brass-golem-just-launched-on-mainnet/
Compare that to the release schedule they used to get ICO funds: https://golem.network/crowdfunding/Golemwhitepaper.pdf
which can be found on page 11. The ICO ended November 2016, so we are currently 38 months out from that. According to what they promised investors, Iron Golem should have been released several months ago. Or, in other words, they are more than two major releases behind schedule. Another way of saying it is that 38 months into the project, they are 32 months behind schedule. That's even the generous assumption that Brass still being in Beta counts as fulfilling their six month promise date.
Have a look through the whitepaper if you haven't already, in particular, the roadmap. Note, however, that the estimated dates given in the roadmap are no longer accurate.
This might be in the right place here, from the whitepaper (p. 7):
"Golem Network Token (GNT)
The Golem Network Token ("GNT") account is a core component of Golem and is designed to ensure flexibility and control over the future evolution of the project. GNT is created during the crowdfunding period (described in this whitepaper) and, following the first major release of Golem, GNT will be attributed a variety of functions in the Golem network.
● Payments from requestors to providers for resource usage, and remuneration for software developers is going to be exclusively conducted in GNT.
● Once the Application Registry and Transaction Framework are implemented, GNT will be necessary for other interactions with Golem, such as submitting deposits by providers and software developers or participation in the process of software validation and certification (as described in the Application Registry section).
● The general conditions for using GNT will be set in the Transaction Framework, but specific parameters of these interactions will be possible to define within each software integration. The supply of GNT will be limited to the pool of tokens created during crowdfunding period."
