Maybe on c-cex you can display how much Boinc credits Gridcoin has donated so far. I think it would be great for traders and investors to have that information somewhere on the chart. I am not sure if that is technically possible, but would be cool to see. http://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/team/detail/118094994/overviewHello! I'm C-CEX.com dev. I'm here to wonder what new services GRC community may require?
that's also my doubt You don't think GRC requires any new services?

Ok, I just updated the title. The way we are going we should be in the top 10 in no time! I can prob edit this one. Should I remove the article link or what? at first sight, OP looks like it is old news to me (february). for upcoming milestones, let's better create a new thread first thing that gets my attention is the thread age, so it looks like old news and I was tempted to not read it and close the tab. for me it was uncertain, this topic was covering more than a single event. the subject says NEWS, but the date says 'posted on: February 23, 2014, 07:51:51 PM'. I'd either clarify the continuous nature of the topic by altering the subject to 'Official Gridcoin Boinc Milestone Thread', as you have done on twitter, and maintain OP as index with an explanation to set our scientific contributions in context, or open a new thread for each occasion. besides, very beneficial communication!

I don't think you need that anymore. Just the email to be specified in the gridcoin.conf the last block message is not a real error it just indicates that you are currently not mining because there cant be two cpu blocks in a row, its by design try listitem cpids instead of listitem cpuids Yes, it's working correctly now. Thank you! Hm... But i got now trouble with WCG project - i can't specify my wallet address as my profile name. It's not enough space in text field to paste GRC address. 4 last symbols are cut.

I think you have to add more projects to Boinc because the amount of blocks that are dedicated to CPU mining are limited. Can someone please help? I get this: "CPU projects are exhausted. Sleeping; BOINC Magnitude: 0.000"

Just broke the 300 mil mark.

I agree, I voted against the whole masternode thing. I think it would be better to get GPU to mine DRK rather then invest in Masternode. There are too many unknowns with Darkcoin, you can have malfunctions/bugs that can render the anonymity useless, you can have government issues, the list of potential things that can go wrong is too long at this point. Better to get more GPU to mine DRK rather then putting money in DRK masternode. I'm not sure on the Masternode thing. Definitely speculative, and doesn't really fit the "coin farming" aspect of this fund. And there are probably dedicated masternode pools for people wanting to invest less than the 25 BTC or so needed for 1000 DRK. If darkcoins are going to catch on, and maintain their value beyond the next few months, then this has good potential. Has anyone looked more into DRK to see how strong the app/tools development is going? People need to actually use these or it seems like it'll all collapse in.
The things is that even if the is a risk, the ROI is really good (for now). So it is a "relatively" good investment. The problem with this, is that a lot of persons also think this is a good investment. I've seen many posts on this forum and on Reddit about people planning on being masternodes, and if half of them achieve that, it won't be so profitable anymore. And you have to trust Darkcoin to stay profitable long term and build its own economy from the ground-up. This seems way too risky imho.

Finally we got the linux and mac versions, this is very good. I am gonna try the new CPU mining to see how it works.

I am assuming that is the new client with CPU mining and linux and mac compatibility. GO LIVE WARNING: We are tentatively planning to roll out a new release as of block 120,000.

It is one guy putting the walls and they using their other acc on the exchange to sell/buy from themselves. It makes it looks like there is incredible buying support when in fact it is the same guy trading with himself. I still cannot understand how those big sellwalls gets raped so quickly, like the 27 wall. I would expect that the seller would pull back his order, but no.....it gets instantly eaten Like I said earlier, all I see is whale blubber.

I am actually still invested in Darkcoin and I have made quite a bit out of it, but I am not delusional thinking that it will overtake Bitcoin. What, you think Ebay or Amazon, or any other significant retailer will accept Darkcoin?? You think your local pizza shop/mom&pop store will accept Darkcoin??? They will accept Bitcoin and Litecoin, but I promise you they will not be touching Darkcoin with a 10ft pole. Hey slyA, everyone knows what you are saying is true, no one wants to admit it cause everyone wants a higher price to cashout. Why do you think everyone get's all defensive when any criticism is pointed towards Darkcoin. I was into Darkcoin right from the beginning, I know it has uses, but people who think that Dakrcoin will beat Bitcoin one day and be used by everyone for "privacy" reasons is smoking some very strong stuff.
This is very funny actually, you should look up some quotes form the early days of computers and internet on where it was heading. People were sceptic, were dismissing it, if they have been right you would not be here posting nonsense.

Fair enough. I'm an idiot. I will shut up. Asking for some reasonable discourse proves too hard when a coin is "Going to the moon". I'll return to my troll cave.

I think this should be put to a vote. It might work out, but it is speculative, it is better to wait for new asic to come out and buy that.

Well everyone knows that drug flows into the USA can not be stoped, but that did not stop the GOV from declaring war on drugs. Believe me, do not underestimate the stupidity and arrogance of the politicians. They will go after anon crypto, it is just a matter of time. And trust me when I say, that every masternode unless located in Iran/North Korea will be taken down. Maybe if you have a node behind a Tor network that might help, but even that is not a guarantee. Darkcoin essentially makes the AML kyc compliance obsolete, because once "Darksend is used the money trail is gone". So I can open acc with legit docs, transfer fiat and then purchase any crypto and then buy Darkcoin and use Darksend and the money trail is broken. You think any government is gonna say, OK we will allow that?? The swiss banks were doing all kinds of elaborate tricks to launder/hide money, you think now that anyone with the push of a few clicks can make large amount of cash untraceable will be allowed to flourish??? Any exchange,any individual, any entity that is facilitating these types of transactions will be deemed a terrorist organization or enemy of the state. Anyone who is under the delusion that Darkcoin in it's current state will be allowed to flourish is delusional. Once the governments get involved things will change very quickly. Right now people are having all kinds of pie in the sky ideas about Darkcoin because there is a lot of euphoria around the price rising and all that, but I think the governments will move quickly and make any kind of blockchain obfuscation illegal. It is only a matter of time. Either that or anyone running a masternode or participating in any anon crypto will be branded an enemy of the state. I really hope I am wrong, but I have a nagging feeling that is the way things are going to turn out. I think Darkcoin is great for anonymity stuff, but wider acceptance by public and businesses will never happen unfortunately.
We already have a wine shop accepting it. With proper marketing and brand positioning, mass adoption ala Bitcoin is not an insurmountable obstacle. There has already been something said about this by the US Government. They understand the need for financial privacy. The interaction with crypto and fiat is going to be regulated. that is the point where they care and will ask for ID from those using exchanges. I accept your argument, the problem they and you face with this argument though is, I don't see how they stop it... I really can't see feds turning up at your house for running a masternode... In which case, just run it in the cloud in another jurisdiction. The law and crypto are miles apart at the moment, its very much a chicken and egg situation and nowhere near as black and white as you make out.
