The 6500 GRC bounty for fixing the superblock delays is being paid out today!
 
As of the time of writing, 6200 GRC of the total 6500 GRC bounty has been approved for release. Currently the payout will be:
80% (4960 GRC) ~200 USD to @iFoggz
20% (1240 GRC) ~50 USD to @Marco Nilsson
Thanks to all our developers for their efforts not only on this issue but many others in the Gridcoin wallet.

 Dunno why this is being paid out, the superblock is BROKEN again and has BROKEN twice in the last week or so.

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to upgrade my wallet, but as I click ''Help>>Upgrade Client'', wallet crashes and can't continue upgrading.
Is there any other way to upgrade the wallet?

You need to update the logo on the front page of cryptocointalk and bitcointalk forums, on the main site and in  wallet. When do you do this?

[enzo94vt]

http://www.gridcoin.us/ has been updated with the new logo! https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@cm-steem/gridcoin-us-website-overhauled

When you update your portfolio, it closes and an update window opens. So make sure that the cpu is not overloaded by other processes and try to wait. I have Windows 10 pro 64bit, and no problem I find out

I'm also using Windows10 pro 64bit, but it seems updating doesn't work for me. When I click update, some window comes up and looks like updating, but after a while, no response, and crashes.
Is it possible to uninstall the wallet, and re-install a new one?

Copy your gridcoinresearch.conf and wallet.dat files to a different spot, the copy them back after a fresh wallet install, SHOULD work.

Thank you so much! I finally made my wallet upgrade to the latest version

 I learned to do that a while back, far too many times the internal "update" process BREAKS.


 Now for the important question - where the HELL did the "unlock wallet" button go in the current wallet?


 (Edit - found an option on the Settings menu, so it turns into an irritation rather than a critical flaw).

Yes, good idea. Will there be a poll on this?

 Gridcoin supports appx 30 DIFFERENT projects out of the BOINC list - some you aren't going to do squat, a few your setup would do significantly on.

 No, there is not a "calculator" - closest thing I can think of would be the https://www.gridcoinstats.eu site to give you one tool to help you try to figure out which project would be good for your setup, along with the actual website for each project and their "top computers" link on each project.
