if you have a wallet backup it's easy to get them back again. Just delete the current wallet with the lost coins, and put the intact backup in place. Then run gridcoin and it will rescan the wallet and adjust for all transactions that did and did not complete. I've been having a bunch of transactions not complete and get them back this way. Also, I had some that remained uncompleted for the better part of a day suddenly go through. I believe it had something to do with the timing of finding a new block. They sent right around then. So it might have taken them that long to notice they had a node to travel to and confirm on. edit: typo fix. them/then I transferred the last days some coins to my back-up wallet cos my wallet size is exploding (6Mb), all transactions succeeded, except the last one from yesterday.
Money is not in my wallet anymore and in the transactions historie I can see following,
19-1-2014 12:00 To FyxhBbEjhfWQznDHjrJWpCgcz8WuiXuq8E, debit -500, transaction fee -1,74, transaction ID 7b55bba6ad2c75a4c1211c7fc33ad891012579effe421093dfdd2d9152561d6b
However Status 0/unconfirmed.
After that transaction I got three mined received transactions, they are all confirmed en show up in my balance.
Upgraded just to 1.1.5.7-g71-prod/70
What can be wrong, are these coins lost??

Is there a reason why transactions over a certain number of coins seem to get lost without confirmations? I haven't really had any luck with transactions larger than 200 coins. Anything bigger I need to restore my wallet from backup and rescan.
I imagine this isn't limited to gridcoin, being part of a common wallet.

The reason it was likely exiting from the DOS window for you before was that there was no cgm session profile. Once you created a new one you were good to go. I accidentally took out my cgm profile when I was doing cleanup in the folder the other day and had the same issue. A few clicks later and all was well again.

Once you run it as administrator keeping it in the user profile directory isn't going to protect you from an application.

Yowza. The hash rate just dropped by 10MH and the difficulty plummeted. A good time for block hunting.

It doesn't really make sense to lay it at the feet of Gridcoin when you haven't even tried the defaults yet.
True, it's in active development, but if you don't try you don't get results.

Trying running it from the default location first and see if that resolves the issue. It's the simplest test to start with. So really, the GRC software is completely separate from BOINC? This is just a scryptcoin distro that looks for a running instance of BOINC, and then hands out rewards based on BOINC utilization?
I'm not a developer, but this seems like it would be awfully easy to hack. How is the proof of work verified?
Not trying to be antagonistic, but I think GRC is about to increase in popularity, and with that, flaws will be exploited. It seems like a natural step in the evolution of GRC would be for BOINC to be handled at the pool server, with each connected miner appearing as a device in BOINC.
Miners would simply point their mining client at the pool, same as they would with any other scrypt coin. This would require the pool server software to break up and parse out BOINC work units to the individual miners. I'm sure this is no small task, but it probably needs to happen if GRC is to succeed.
Boinc credits are 3rd party API verified. There is a 5000grc reward to hack it. Have at it. Maybe I'll have at it, when I can get it working in the first place. No one has answered my previous posts about being unable to open the mining console.

Okie doke Glad to know that. I have other coin wallets but they're not being used. Gridcoin all the way I'm trying to move my coins to a new wallet but I'm getting a "Transaction too large" error. This is not the error related to the fee. I've left adequate coins for the fee and this error follows. The amount in the transfer is 2800.
edit: If I lower my transaction amount to 2000 I still get the same error. Both come with the following "Transaction creation failed". If I lower the transaction amount to 1000 it tells me the transaction is too large but I can send it if I pay a 2 GRC fee instead of the normal .001
edit2: At a coin value of 150 some transactions send, others are too big.
You can send it if you send a few smaller transactions out that clean up your wallet private keys, then you can send the large ones; this is an existing feature of all coins;not sure who the smart alleck is commenting that its a gridcoin issue lol. Its not.

If you have a transaction disappear into the ether with no confirmations how do you get it back? While I was moving my wallet contents I lost two transactions. I found a forum tip that recommended salvagewallet but that didn't do the trick. Suggestions?

You should have two windows. The wallet window and the "Gridcoin Mining Module". If you don't see it move to the foreground you may be able to tab to it. What video card are you using to mine with? If you can get the mining module up we can go from there. I can't get mining to work.
When I open the GridcoinQT client, and click on Mining-->Mining Console, nothing happens.
BOINC is working correctly, although it does not seem to be taking advantage of my GPUs.

I guess that would fix my problem, but it won't let you keep your address since that is calculated from the private key and the transactions will always be tied to it.

Is there a way to prevent the wallet size from increasing? I end up with my corruption when it's around 3.5 meg So I bring out my 96k backup, and all is well... for a very short period of time. At least nothing is lost

|

So, does "NetworkHashPs: 105245312.00000" work out to 105 MH/s?

When I had poolmining=true I had a steady trickle but only brought in about 2000 coins since I started mining (eight weeks ago I think). The other day I tried poolmining=false and took in 750+ coins, but then the flow just stopped for two days. I'm back on poolmining=true and getting a slight trickle again. It's strange, I'm back to seeing a trickle of .3 at a time, after a day of 5 found blocks when I got the new card. I'm running poolmining off at a hash rate of 800 mh/s. How's the block solving going for other folks? ahhh finally someone whose mining in pool! can you write some stats? You have found 5 blocks in a day, now you're keep mining in pool? how many coins you make at day?

1: It's in active development. We're a testing community. 2: You didn't create a backup. That's your fault. -salvagewallet -rescan -reindex don't work and I have no backups because I just made this wallet a week ago after my last one kept corrupting. no wonder GRC can't get on an exchange, I wouldn't want to deal with the constant bullshit of this client if I ran an exchange.

What does the "Full speed" tick do? Does it override the configs intensity?

Oops, yeah I've been typing 600 MH into a calculator all evening and it was muscle memory. Ordered a Monarch 600 to do BTC. Too bad they won't do scrypt edit: ha! and the monarch is GH. I've had too much caffeine today apparently.

I'd love to see some kind of project in place where the researchers can set up gridcoin accounts and portions of the coins we generate are contributed to their projects as well
