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

[TribalBob]

Alright, my wallet with all of my coins in it has now stalled out...

The other wallet which has not been tainted with coins from any of the old chains seems to be running fine so I guess I will just wipe the corrupted wallet with my earnings from the past few days and start anew back at a completely zero balance, lol...

Oh well, for SCIENCE!

I also have a wallet in old chain, have not tried to fix it yet

I wish you luck!

Just a note, the fresh install of a brand new wallet just stalled out again on my laptop. I re-launched with re-scan and it's back on track, hopefully it sticks.

[Ardolafat]

I deleted everything, except wallet.dat and gridcoin.conf in the appdata, everything is ok.
Are you running v1.1.3.9-g71-prod ? I was already using this version in wrong chain.

Try to delete the peers.dat, blockchain and add this node to gridcoin.conf
addnode=98.114.181.178

Correct, that is the version I am using. Version 30 in the mining console, Gridcoin 5.4 in Programs list.

You can also add working peers:


"addr" : "76.187.184.27:9778",

"addr" : "66.187.94.194:9778",

"addr" : "76.74.177.224:9778",

"addr" : "84.125.196.167:9778",

"addr" : "71.233.139.62:9778",

"addr" : "72.92.48.105:9778",

Alright, I have deleted everything except for my wallet and conf files and have added these nodes, I launched with my old wallet, I will let you know how it turns out.

[TribalBob]

Ok, I appear to be properly synced for the moment. That may have done the trick. I hope it does because I'd really like to be able to keep my coins, lol...

[aysyr]

Yea all mine have been good after getting them all caught up to the correct block (deleting the chain and blocks and resyncing). Hopefully in the morning they'll still be on track

[TribalBob]

My client running the wallet with the coins from the old blockchain has stalled out again. It seems that particular set of coins is somehow corrupted. I'm just going to go back to the fresh wallet. I'll hold onto the glitchy wallet for now in case a future update fixes the problem, but for now I'm just going to see how the fresh wallets go.

[TribalBob]

Alright, the new wallet has stalled out too, but the problem seems to only be with the wallet on my laptop now. My other machine seems to be running fine, I'm just going to leave that one running for now and I'll mess with the client on my laptop later as it is late and I am getting tired...

[aysyr]

Same thing happened, one stalled and got left behind, but everything else ran smoothly. So far it seems to be running a lot better though

Mine doesn't appear to be doing anything in the wallet. Though my miner is now functioning after a night of 500 Internal Server Errors.

And I have 217 immature gridcoins waiting on me now. I don't recognize the addresses (in blue text) they come from, so I have no idea if it was a gift or the last few days of mining catching up.

Now to try and sync up to the network again.

Same here one was stalled a few blocks behind when I just checked, had to -reindex the chain to sync it again.
Maybe it will get better as more people finally get on the latest client version.

[TribalBob]

Alright, I believe I have tracked the source of the problem (at least for me anyway).

As mentioned earlier I am running two clients on two different machines.

Machine "A" is my desktop and has been running fine all night.

Machine "B" is my laptop and it is continuously having problems.

Machine "A" runs the client and also runs cgminer set to "-loadbalance" bewteen Machine "A" and Machine "B".

Machine "B" runs the client and Pooler's CPUMiner.

It seems that every time cgminer on Machine "B" finds a block on Machine "A", Machine "A" is credited with a full reward as if it had come through the loopback address (which it did not). The transaction then usually gains one or two confirmations and then the client stops updating which is when I am forced to re-launch the app (usually having to launch with "-rescan" or "-salvagewallet" to get things running.

Once I am up and have had some coffee I will start looking through the source and see if I can find the problem in the loopback address check.

[Inrideo]

I'm stalled at block 28146. Anyone else?

[TribalBob]

I'm stalled at block 28146. Anyone else?

The machine that is stalled, are you mining on that computer and also mining on it from another computer at the same time?

[Chris180Z]

Can any of you help me in understanding this?

I used to fold@home for cancer research until crypto-currencies came along, and I guess I saw an opportunity to make a bit of money for once. In a way I do feel a little guilty for giving up a good cause and i've always felt if the two could ever be combined it would be revolutionary. Does this coin offer that? If so, then surely is it not decentralised?
