Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread

[Gridcoin]

Hi Rob,

First let me say that you are doing an awesome work with Gridcoin.

I have being trying the new pool but I found something that I think it's not right, the pool is paying accordantly to shares submitted and is counting the overall shares since first day when we enter the pool, that makes very hard to climb our earnings and it's an disadvantage to someone entering the pool for the first time, or am I seeing something wrong?

Other thing is I can't get the scrypt sleep working for my GPU's If I select use always GPU on Boinc it will use them all the time even when they are at work, if I select never use GPU when scrypt sleep comes it will not process Boinc projects what am I missing were?

Thank you,

João G.

Hi João,
Im glad you like the pool, thanks.
On scrypt sleep, weve been trying to ensure a smooth start and after the last release moved it to 74000.  (The release notes were wrong).  

On the pool newbie payments, the original intent was to base the pool on a 7 day lookback period (assessed off of last_seen), to give everyone pool competition who finds blocks.
The code does pay newbies based on 1 block divided by submissions, and I realize now that I see the stats they are really getting tiny amounts.

I will look into something more fair for newbies, maybe splitting 7% of the pool over the newbies instead of 1 block.
But anyway, I think the 7 day lookback itself is more fair for people finding blocks, as it is impossible to defraud the pool when you have mined blocks vs share submissions (ie higher integrity).

Is there a point to mine this coin and help scientific research if i dont have a GPU but only CPU? btw on linux...

Yes, I'm using Boinc with a sempron and still getting 90-130 coins a day.

is there any guide to run it through terminal? And can you tell me what cpu project you have chosen?

Edit: makefile.unix gives me those errors:

Building LevelDB ...

Edit: This was fixed with a chmod somwhere but now i have a new error:

I have a little request. Change please BOINC team flag from USA to International. Thanks!

Yes, I did get ahold of Rom Walton from Berkeley, he updated the Country and said it will take time to propogate.

I'm seeing it now. Thanks for doing that.

We're in 215th place among the international teams atm, a little behind the Intel Employees team (for now).

Yeah!  I think we will be able to pass Texas A&M, but getting past the US Air Force (World position #51) is going to be tough!

Hallo,

I've a problem. My Gridcoin client don't send Beacon since over 24 hrs and don't recieve coins from CPU mining. 2 days before the clint worked normally, I send beacons and recieved coins normally. I don't changed anything on my system.
In the gridcoin.log I found a lot of this error messages:

Reg Version 81Boinc Utilization: 57, Thread Count: 6Sending beacons:connection timeout

LOL That would be great, a cryptocurrency beats the U.S Air Force in Boinc credits, I can't wait for that day. I will take out a full page add in the local newspaper to announce the event!

If someone could send me a tiny amount of GRC for testing, I'll put this up on Poloniex. Address: G4TmLjd26EkZ9BnWeDWdRGfvCypBrYT5em
