Yea, but why do they have to hash to receive coins? Why can't the do some other gpu-operations like monte-carlo-simulation or anything else to solve a block?
The reason it isn't wise to do that is because the transactions have no strong source of verification. PoW is still solely the most secure way to make sure transactions are legitimate. That's why we're hoping to eventually get to the point where 50% of power goes to research and 50% of power goes to keeping the chain secure. |

Hope you're having a good weekend Grid  Be sure to post once or twice every few days in our new forums Once Gridcoin is accepted in exchanges I'm going to sell some and switch hosts because it seems like every couple of ours it goes down for a few minutes for whatever reasons lol. |

n00ber can you double check your address? It's coming up as not found

We do hope to have it there someday haha. But first we have to get the client and everything cleaned up and find a way to reward miners who are contributing exclusively to BOINC and not the network. THEN can we try to get it there since no matter how big/small the rig is they can get rewarded, but that's still in the works. Mean time, I put together a forum yesterday if you guys want to check it out! There's no members there yet unfortunately and the boards are still empty, but it's ours www.gridcoinforum.com |

Hey Spark,
Could you check that you gave me a GRC address? It's coming up invalid and GRC usually starts wit G or F. Thanks!

Statistics are on its way I think. Last I talked to him he was trying to integrate guiminer to the client and make some edits to it and he told me he's going to see if he can input some charts in there as well. So we'll see how it comes out in a couple of days |

Glad to hear that And what happens when you try to install the linked version? its someting to do the way the windows 8 users account sare as it is in x64 downloading the proper version cleared that right up luckily i will give it to you http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.2.28_windows_x86_64.exealthough it installed without a hitch it still will not sync to the miner  What numbers are returning in the Mining Console? Anyways, try suggestions here that apply to you http://www.gridcoinnetwork.org/troubleshooting.htmlAnd if those don't work, if you used the .zip, try deleting the folder you extracted the ZIP and try downloading and installing the MSI instead since it should update your module automatically |

It'll happen of its own accord It'll probably get added onto Cryptsy first |

GridCoin the only coin with real purpose but i believe it will be on the exchange sooner or later  +1 |

Okay cool. After updating to .net 4.5, you went back to the mining console and tried hitting Register Mining Module, then click refresh a few times right? If not go and try that. If you already did, then with Gridcoin open, try this:
Open an administrator prompt and enter the following.
• regasm boinc.dll
• regtlibv12 boinc.tlb
They should both return successful. Then go to the Mining Console and hit refresh a few times. You should see the Registered Mining Module Version go up, as well as the Threads and Processing Power.
If that doesn't work, then delete the folder you extracted the .zip to, and install the .msi, as it does the registering automatically.

Stefan,
When you go to the Mining Console now, is the Mining Module Registered Version 0? What number is it? What number are your Threads too? If you tell us those numbers we'll be able to tell you what to do to get the processing power to go up.
Meanwhile, with Gridcoin open, open an administrator command prompt (search cmd in your start menu, then right click and click run as administrator), then type "lodctr /r" without the quotations. Then restart your Gridcoin client. Also, do you have any of the following projects added? Rosetta@home, Seti@home or World Community Grid? If not add one of them as your project.

traderman,
Yup, the in-client pool mining rewards the BOINC subside depending on the average BOINC utilization among those who mined the share.
grv,
At the moment, only the CPU provides computational power to BOINC. However, the dev's working on ways to reward BOINC work to both AMD and Nvidia cards. Either way, even just CPU computational power is already more than most other altcoins do. Also, the network would still need the work from processors to do the PoW verification and push out blocks, so mining on the blockchain is still a necessity.
