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

[BlackObelisk]

On 8th of September, Deltik, a member of the team Gridcoin found the last prime for base R514. The prime 30*514^424652-1 has 1.151.218 digits and entered the TOP5000 in Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database. Great!

Congratulations!!! That's good news.

Perhaps Gridcoin should add support for the GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search) project - the holder of something like 8 of the CURRENT "largest primes known".

Thx!

A new Gridcoin task was created:

* make GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search) available for Gridcoin rewarding

Would be great if there could be added more infos...

Also, on a more positive note (which erkan also knows about), the problem with the crashes in Windows wallets has been fixed in the upcoming version: https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@peppernrino/gridcoin-wallet-v3-6-2-0-teaser

That's great news. Windows was throwing a Low Memory error for me earlier today,
telling me to close the GRC wallet. I have 16GB of RAM, I shouldn't be getting
errors like this at idle. We'll see how the update treats me.

Has the dev contacted Poloniex about the insane confirmations required for deposits? It takes 275 to confirm GRC deposits on Poloniex vs 6 confirmations at Bittrex. Wondering why there's such a huge disparity. The ViaCoin dev was recently able to get into contact with them and got confirmations on that coin reduced to 30

[Flypme]

Hello everybody,

Many thanks to the team for allowing this and recommending the Flyp.me exchange on the official website.  

We'd like to introduce Flyp.me, to the ones who may be interested. Flyp.me is an accountless exchange with profit sharing and distributed policy-making. It accepts/exchanges Gridcoin among 12 other cryptocurrencies with 78 trading pairs. No registration, email or ID verification: only your crypto address.

The exchange is already live and the Flyp.me API has been released to allow businesses and developers to make exchanges and accept payments in 13 cryptocurrencies.

Our ICO is launching next week to increase the reserves we keep for each cryptocurrency, improve the current service, integrate decentralized asset platforms and R&D for 2nd layer solutions . We are now in Presale with +12.5% bonus. Contributions are accepted in Gridcoin.

Flyp.me is developed by HolyTransaction, the first multicurrency web wallet. It supports Gridcoin since the very beginning.

Got any questions? Join the conversation on Telegram and Bitcointalk. Thanks

 As much as I despise it, CounterParty was multicurrency long before your wallet existed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but CounterParty only trades bitcoin blockchain tokens supported by counterparty, not like real cryptos and also they have ridiculously high commissions for transactions.

 They also work for FoldingCoin to my specific knowlege.

 I'm not going to argue the RIPOFF level of fees they charge - aka part of the reason "I despise it".

my windows wallet working full node but I can't vote. I see the following text

Code:

[{"Command":"vote"},{"Error":"Sorry, When voting in a Both Share Type poll, your stake age Or your CPID age must be older than the poll duration."}]

what could be the problem?

Well, technically, foldingcoin is not a real coin it's a counterparty token(asset) on bitcoin blockchain, unlike, for example, curecoin which has its own blockchain. I'm trying to say it's a bad example, because counterparty is not a multicurrency wallet, it's just multitoken wallet/exchange which uses only counterparty protocol for bitcoin blockchain, even if they call some tokens(assets) "coins", so we can't say that the statement "Flyp.me is the first multi-currency web wallet" is incorrect.

[QuintLeo]

FoldingCoin is NOT "just a token", it's a fully traded COIN that can be traded outside of the CounterParty wallet (I've not used CounterParty for MONTHS yet I earned and traded several hundred thousand FLDC in that timeframe).

 I'm QUITE certain that Poloniex and Bittrex (among others) do NOT use that Counterparty wallet to deal with FoldingCoin - THEY would not put up with the ripoff level fees CounterParty charges.

I imagine that following my request, bittrex has updated the Gridcoin logo!

[QuintLeo]

If the logo has been updated, why does the wallet still have the OLD logo?

 New logo is a major improvement, you can actually figure out what it's supposed to look like as opposed to the old logo that was WAY too convoluted and UNreadable.

in this post (in the comments) you can see what the new portfolio will look like in the next update: https://github.com/gridcoin/Gridcoin-Research/pull/517
