GO LIVE WARNING:
We are tentatively planning to roll out a new release as of block 120,000.

[traderman]

I am assuming that is the new client with CPU mining and linux and mac compatibility.

Got your PM about page 1, and Tradermans note from a month ago about page 1, and AndrewPs long notes about Page 1.  Don't worry, I still have all these updates on my list.
I will either give the keys to Andrew P or update page 1 ASAP.

Gridcoin New Version Ready
Mandatory Upgrade
Hard Fork
2.1.3.0/150/MSI 12.7:

Upgrade from the RPC:  Yes

Alternate download location:

http://www.gridcoin.us/download/gridcoin.msi


Release Notes:
http://www.gridcoin.us/docs/GridcoinMajorReleaseNotes.pdf

If you have trouble syncing:
- addnode supernode.gridcoin.us

Config file changes:
- cpumining=true
- email=yourboincemailaddress
 
Ensure that you add BAM or your valid individual projects (with team gridcoin) to all running instances of boinc across nodes and ensure the e-mail for each project is correct in the boinc project, and matches gridcoins email address setting.

- Gridcoin will not GPU mine until it has at least one valid project to mine.  Listitem cpids to verify.


** A special huge thanks goes out to all of the testers that helped bring this version to life. **

** Note:  Exchanges have been notified and are in the process of upgrading.

** The linux version and Mac version are ready, and being compiled by Leder.  More notes will follow with the download links!


****** NOTE:   Disregard the Mining Console's boinc Utilization and warning.  It is being replaced by the Overview Page: Boinc Magnitude.  We will remove those indicators asap.  ******

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.

[cyberspacemonkey]

Finally! I'm just wondering, when will the official pool be available?
I really want to mine Gridcoin but it seems a little confusing, and I just wish it used an ASIC resistant algorithm such as Scrypt-N or X11

[alexius89]

could anyone give an instruction how to set up the CPU Mining?   Does it have any effect on the GPU mining?

[cdg1941]

have you considered trying to get GRC on https://altoutlet.com, that could help to bring attention.....



also for the obviously dedicated dev team, have you considered getting in touch with Rofo, of the Noblecoin dev team. there seems to be a few crypto currencies that have risen above the scamcoin crap. and it appears that a number of the dedicated dev teams that believe in crypto and what it could mean to the future of us all, are getting into contact with each other and trying to build up this new industry.

let the people of integrity and of the mind lead us in this next century.

I am also a newbie, can I get some coins from dev?

->see release notes PDF for CPU ming set up, do not forget to add your boinc email address in gridcoinconf

I've converted one machine to run the new CPU miner and it seems to be working well after about 12 hours with little drama.

The upgrade crashed - not sure why, and it left a corrupted gridcoin-qt. No big deal as the MSI version (Plan B) installed without incident.

Some CPU mining payouts have trickled in. One seems buggy, with a message I have not seen before "Generated but not accepted". I'll try to shake it out Real Soon Now.

Fabulous dev work - well done! A lot could have gone wrong with a project that big.

I hope to set up another machine to CPU mine also in the next few hours.

Hi, Gridcoiners!
I having troubles with new version of GRC wallet.
I added "email" param to my gridcoin config file, in which i specified email, which i'm using to login at boincstats.com and in project which i am calculating now (Rosetta). In total my config looks like this:

Code:

server=1 
rpcuser=zulzedd
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 
rpcport=9332
poolmining=false
cpumining=true
email=my_email@gmail.com
suppressminingconsole=true
closeconhost=false
Project=489565
UpdatingLeaderboard=false

But CPU mining refuses to work. Results for getmininginfo command:
