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

[KleinMatthias]

After not being able to sync for the past while, I just downloaded the latest version. The sync worked now - but surprisingly fast. So I am a bit cautious here.

Could someone send me some GRC so I can test if my wallet actually works?

Thanks!

P.S. Here the gridcoin.conf that worked for me (i copied it to my AppData-folder):

Code:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=localhost
rpcport=9778
server=1
gen=0
addnode=98.114.181.178
addnode=76.187.184.27:9778
addnode=66.187.94.194:9778
addnode=76.74.177.224:9778
addnode=84.125.196.167:9778

Thank you very much! They just arrived - so I assume everything works fine now.

Strange enough, though, my wallet now claims to be out of sync. It says that it has processed 38186 blocks - and that number just doesn't change. Your very much appreciated donation, however, popped up.

The last 100 blocks rely on extra security checks; for new users, close gridcoin, click on the MSI and click Repair gridcoin.  Run it again.  Verify your "Help | About" menu has a registered version > 40.  It should sync.

Ok, I have a new error today, my "Boinc Processing Power" never displays higher than 50% usage even though BOINC is using 100% of my cpu.

[Shadey]

I've tried to DL the qt 3 times and then tried the .msi file and still won't sync up. Keeps getting stuck at 8-9 days behind even after I restart it. Someone please help, I can't figure out how to fix it.

Try using the "Rebuild Block Chain" option, it seems to fix just about everything for me.

 I can't find that option. My mining console won't start up and neither will the project console

It's in the wallet to the right of "Projects"

There's nothing to the right of projects in my wallet, and i tried the conf idea above and nothing is working because these things you guys say are supposed to be there aren't.

When it gets to 8 days, how long does it stay there?

Woah, I was expecting the difficulty to be 2-3 but it's still under 1. I like that, I can mine more GRC for me :3
Oh and nice job on the website upgrade! Looks awesome!

Bob, do you have more than 1000 avg daily credits showing?
Does your Boinc thread count match the screen thread count?
Also, try a :
lodctr /r
and restart and see if that changes anything.

Thanks,
Rob H.

You may have to download the latest 6.1 version; from gridcoin.us, download the MSI Prod version.
You should see a button "Rebuild Block Chain" on the main screen.

Hi Rob,

I show:

Code:

Boinc Processing Power: 50
Boinc Thread Count:     0
Boinc Avg Daily Credits:4063

Do you want me to do "lodctr /r" from Command Prompt or from the debug console...? Also, when you say "restart" should I restart the client or restart my pc?

Thanks!



***Edit***
I've also just noticed that my mining module is displaying "..." for "Boinc Block" even though Boinc is running and doing work...

[Gridcoin]

Yeah, try the lodctr /r from an elevated prompt first, and restart gridcoin-qt.

Thanks,
Rob H.

Sorry, last question, should I close my current instance of Gridcoin before doing lodctr /r

I don't see a 6.1 version on the site, even the beta is 5.7?

Make sure you delete c:\Program Files (x86)\Gridcoin before you install the new one

[Gridcoin]

Yeah, try the lodctr /r from an elevated prompt first, and restart gridcoin-qt.

Sorry, last question, should I close my current instance of Gridcoin before doing lodctr /r

Yes I would close it first, doubt it matters since it updates the registry; but still need to restart gridcoin.

Ok, the registry rebuild was successful, Gridcoin has restarted but still displaying the same for Boinc Processing Power, Boinc Thread Count and Boinc Block. Also Boinc KH/ps is stuck at "0".

Is it possible that this is happening because BOINC is working on projects that aren't in Gridcoin's projects list...?
