+Gridcoin is an open source cryptocurrency (Ticker: GRC) which securely rewards
+volunteer computing performed on the BOINC platform. BOINC is an open source
+volunteer computing grid which combines the processing power of individual users
+for the purposes of scientific research.
+
+QT5, qrencode and miniupnpc are optional (available on SBo) to build GUI, QR
+and UPnP support. QT5 will be detected automatically, for the others, run
+script as
+
+QRENC=yes ./Gridcoin-Research.SlackBuild
+UPNP=yes ./Gridcoin-Research.SlackBuild
+
+You will need to edit the configuration file gridcoinresearch.conf in
+/etc/Gridcoin-Research/ and place it in your home directory ~/.GridcoinResearch/
+to provide the location of your boinc data and any other configurations that you
+require. For details, see https://wiki.gridcoin.us/Gridcoinresearch_config_file
