Are we sure the scrypt-sleep function is working properly...? My BOINC Daily Credits seems to actually be decreasing (I've gone from 1373 down to 1360 credits since block 62000)... If my gpu is spending time sleeping it should be working on BOINC projects and INCREASING my daily credits, shouldn't it...?
It's working fine on my rigs. How many GPU tasks have you done since then + what projects? Sometimes there can be a delay of x hours or even a couple days before the BOINC project grants claimed credit for returned tasks. So I would wait a couple days to see. Also if you go to the projects homepage you can check for your returned tasks that are waiting to receive credit. Hope this helps, Andrew. Hi, thanks for the info! How can I check my completed GPU tasks...? I've been using BOINC for a year or two now and never learned how to do that, lol... Which Boinc projects are you running?
I am signed up to pretty much every project except for "DistrRTgen", "GPUGrid.net" and the two that require purchasing sensors in order to participate. I've thought about dropping some projects but I have been running these ones for about a couple of years now... Can someone tell me exactly which projects have GPU tasks or tell me how I can figure out which ones have them myself...? |

I see, I had missed that. I had assumed since the daemon compiled, downloaded the blockchain and accepted RPC calls it was working. That's what I get for assuming...
Haha nvm ... happens with all of us  ... btw I quite agree with you views about price analysis ... but im holding some LTC too so I want it to go up too  ... actually I think any coin that adopts a first approach to something is good IMHO .. like BTC, LTC, MSC, etc ... so those coins I don't have a problem with .. I have a problem with clones which are just meant for pump and dump. Nice analysis though Thanks! I agree, I'm not a big fan of cut+paste clones (though I admit I have been guilty of profiting on the pump-n-dump of lesser coins) and any coin offering something new definitely deserves some respect/credit. At this point in the game though it takes more than a simple algorithm change to impress me (although BlakeCoin is fun because it lets me hash at 1.4 GH/s with my single 5870, but there's no real difference when everyone else has the same relative increase in hashing power as you do, lol). |

well, i really hope you are right.
I sold until now a little part of my GRC when the price was higher but now, imho, is really too low. Sure as hell, i'm going to hold and keep mining!
Just a question: in how many month do you think the price will grow like that?
Hi, Well Ill be speculating here : if we really get out problems sorted out and hit coincapmarket in the next week and the situation is good with btc then i think say within a month we should hit between $0.5 to $1 .. right now its just $0.07 i think . So lets keep pur fingers crossed and hope for the best. To those saying we need a linux capable version, I have already confirmed that compiling the client from source using the supplied directions on Gridcoin's github works on Debian 7 and there is also a Wine compatible version which is what C-CEX is using... Hi , The linux version we have that mines runs only on wine ... that won't cut it if we are to go big (which I hope we do). There needs to be a "native" linux client soon with mining capabilities. The github page has 2 versions of the "native" linux version I believe : 1) The normal client (holding a wallet) and 2) The daemon for rpc calls (The version C-CEX is using is this one I believe). Both are incapable of mining. Quoting form the github page : 1. Native Headless Daemon that will work as a coin client (mining disabled)
# 2. Native Gridcoin-qt GUI Wallet that will work as a coin client (mining disabled)
# 3. Wine version of Gridcoin-qt GUI that will mine and will run on linux, mac and windows I see, I had missed that. I had assumed since the daemon compiled, downloaded the blockchain and accepted RPC calls it was working. That's what I get for assuming... |

And yea one more thing : Hold your coins till atleast $10-15 (yea I know it will be too tempting to sell before that especially for early miners but if something like Vertcoin can go up to $8 then we can surely do way better considering the fact we are helping society too and not just producing hot air like other coins ). Best of luck guys and resist the urge to sell for as long as you can Lets do this. 10-15$ for 1GRC?  ? for now, 1GRC = 0,0536$..... I really think we will do better than $10-$15. IMHO Gridcoin is more innovative and more beneficial than any other alt-coin currently in existence, to include Litecoin which is currently worth ~$20... If Litecoin can reach $20 when it offered nothing new from Bitcoin other than a cpu-friendly algorithm (which is the same algorithm being used by Gridcoin and many other alts) then gridcoin should easily surpass $20 simply based on the fact that it is one of the VERY few alt-coins to be truly different from it's counterparts/competitors. Gridcoin is not a simple cut+paste clone, there is a LOT of new custom code that has been added to this client and it rewards you for making contributions that benefit humanity in many different areas of science, health and technology. I also believe that with the Scrypt-sleep algorithm Gridcoin has the single most fair and even distribution system which is REALLY important to the success of an alt-coin. The point of the coin is to reward those who contribute the most to the research projects and the client does EXACTLY that since the more processing power you contribute to the projects the better your chance of being able to find a block. Right now, the only thing holding back Gridcoin's popularity is that it's confusing to a lot of people who still don't grasp the full concept, have no idea what BOINC is, are intimidated by learning a new way to set-up mining a coin or are just too obsessed with the garbage alt-coin that they've been pump-n-dumping that they just don't bother to take the time. What will really boost the value of Gridcoin is when there are services available that accept Gridcoin for payment. When there are goods/services available that people can spend their GRC on, that is when the price/volume will begin to really climb for Gridcoin trading as that is when it will catch the eye of day-traders. Right now there is no purpose to owning gridcoins other than to sell them, we need to create reasons for other people to buy them. But I firmly believe that within a year we will see many new services accepting Gridcoin (some of which I am working on myself) and I believe that once those services start becoming available, Gridcoin will experience larger and more rapid growth than any other alt-coin to date. |

I'v asked this before but nobody answered  There is no mandatory fee hardcoded in gridcoin wallet, so this can cause a microtransaction flood in the blockchain ? Rob did answer that actually... |

Confirmations trouble here too. I'm escrowing trade now and got transaction of 10000 GRC. 4 hours passed, but i can't get any confirmations. Funds stuck as Unconfirmed. Any advices? {

}
You must be on the wrong blockchain: 19:45:39 gettransaction 9c40a01e12e6bb9774d1f8617600966d690882bd1062398db7ee7bb954d39bc5
19:45:39 Invalid or non-wallet transaction id (code -5)

Once again i have a transaction that receives no confirm... i tried it 5 times. 4 times the transaction wasn't showed on the new wallet. the 5th time i can see the transaction arriving but it receives no confirm at all. it's been 5 hours since i did it. 0 confirm.
I've activated cpu mining on the new wallet and i'm not receiving nor sending any beacon.
Any hints?
Have you tried deleting everything in %\appdata\Gridcoin except for gridcoin.conf and wallet.dat, uninstalling Gridcoin and then doing a clean re-install from the windows MSI ( http://gridcoin.us/download/gridcoin.msi)...? |

i also started cpumining, after starting to mine with my cpu, it seems i am not getting any blocks from gpu mining. Coincidence? or is there something i am missing?
edit: took off cpumining and now its working fine again. Lesson Learned!
I run cpumining+gpumining and it works fine for me... Maybe you just had a streak of bad luck or perhaps your scrypt sleep % isn't very high... |
|
|

That guide is slightly outdated, you are no longer required to register the mining module. I haven't found any blocks on my linux client so I'm not sure yet whether BOINC processing % is being applied since I am running Debian with no gnome, maybe Rob can tell me if there is a way to verify BOINC processing % without a GUI...? I can confirm though that Gridcoin is compiled and accepting rpc connections. |

hello, im quite new to grc..
i had some problems getting cgminer running, now its doin something, but im not sure if its really working.
it says about 270K diff, a few post ago somebody posted diff of 6.5450.. ?
im mining with 300 khash is there any chance of finding a block in some time?
since there is no pool with information etc. im not sure how many people are mining
my bionic activity is also stuck at 50%.. I've set all the settings in boinc manager to 100% allowed usage.. can i do something else?
is it necessary to configure the payout address somewhere in the cgminer settings? or how does that work
ty
Your cgminer output is correct. 270k is Scrypt (litecoin) difficulty which is equal to about 5 in SHA256D (bitcoin) difficulty. 300 K/Hash should get you at least a couple blocks a day. BOINC activity will be stuck at 50% until you have a "Recent Average Credit" value for BOINC. You do not need to configure your payout address in cgminer. So, if I understand correctly, we're still unable to mine GRC on an headless linux rig Have you an ETA about that ? I have the headless daemon up, running and mine-able on Debian 7 using the instructions found here: https://github.com/gridcoin/Gridcoin-master/blob/master/CompilingGridcoinOnLinux.txt |

every time i launch gridcoin-qt.exe, it close any prompt i have already open. How can i stop it? If i don't wrong, there is a string to add to .conf...isn'it?
closeconhost=false thx a lot! No problem m8, happy to help!  i'm sorry, but it's seem to doesn't work for me  That is weird... |

This should be Rob's number 1 priority atm, to help and support c-cex.
I'm sure he will when he sees it... I'm pretty sure he needs to change something in the code to fix this issue as I have found one other reference to this issue for another coin and the coin's dev fixed it inside the source code... It does seem strange though considering I got it to compile fine in debian 7 and he's on debian 6 experiencing problems... |

Rob - I am trying to help C-Cex get their daemon compiled and we are running into a couple of issues: error 1: rpcrawtransaction.cpp:335:46: error: conversion from 'int64 {aka long long int}' to 'const Value_type {aka const json_spirit::Value_impl<json_spirit::Config_vector<std::basic_string<char> > >}' is ambiguouserror 2: json/json_spirit_value.h:439:5: error: initializing argument 2 of 'json_spirit::Pair_impl<Config>::Pair_impl(const String_type&, const Value_type&) [with Config = json_spirit::Config_vector<std::basic_string<char> >; json_spirit::Pair_impl<Config>::String_type = std::basic_string<char>; json_spirit::Pair_impl<Config>::Value_type = json_spirit::Value_impl<json_spirit::Config_vector<std::basic_string<char> > >]' If you'd like to help, his Skype name is: C-CEX.com |

Hey Tribal, can you get in touch with c-cex on skype and help him? He is saying the linux client is not compiling. I have no experience with linux so I can't really do anything. His skype is "cicecx" Sure thing, hopping on now... |

Rob - For cpumining in linux, do I just set the values manually for "Project1=" and the other projects...?

Hmmm...
I decided to join the internal pool but seem to be having a problem.
I set poolmining=true and I found my first pool block (I received ~3.5 GRC) about 4.5 hours ago but I have not received ANY payments since then. If I should be receiving a little bit of each block found by the pool then I should definitely have gotten more than this, right...?
***EDIT***
Do I perhaps need to wait for my found block to fully confirm before being entered into the pool...?
