[alexius89]

hi,   thanks  got that already.

followed the instructions there but it has the same outcome.

like that:

Are you running gridcoin as admin? can u post screenshot of your guiminer scrypt window?

New Version Available:

1.1.5.3/64: Upgrade from RPC : Yes

* This is a prerequisite to CPUMining.  It adds some security features to the chain to enable the 3rd party API verification of CPUMiners work by GPU miners.
We currently still only pay .02grc per CPUMiner (as we do not want to break anyone).  We need 51% to upgrade to this version before we can release CPUMining permanently .
* Fixed the small monitor bug.
* Added support for local culture percent sign formatting (required in Germany for the leaderboard to work correctly).
* Fixed a leaderboard error.
* Added Scrypt Sleep/Leaderboard position to the mining console.

All the best,
Grid

I have a question about cpu mining. If i use my cpu for gridcoin, how can i use my cpu for boinc? And..if i can't use my cpu for boinc, how can have a great value of daily average boinc points?

[alexius89]

when I put the guiminer folder into the Windows(x86) then the guiminer scrypt doesnt appear. So i moved the guiminer folder to the App Data/roaming/gridcoin folder  so the scypt appears at least

edit: running everything as administrator

[hamiltino]

Just use Cgminer.

[alexius89]

when i want to create CG miner instance then this error appears: converrsion from string to typ long is not valid   (or something like that)

here are the settings..

[hamiltino]

That has happened to me. refresh the config and also restart the mining module. happens when it thinks the form isn't filled out for some reason.

[alexius89]

you mean the gridcoin.conf   right?

Im using these settings: 

server=1
rpcuser=****
rpcpassword=******
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
poolmining=false
restartwallet=0


shall i add something more or delete something. I tried to change the config often and restart Gridcoin too often,  no effect -.-

[hamiltino]

No i mean the config form shown on the screenshot.

[alexius89]

yea did that but still the same error..

[traderman]

worksize should be 256.

yea did that but still the same error..

Does the payout from cpumining depend on your CPU's power? Will I still be able to get 150 GRC per day if I don't have Core i5/i7 ?

[hamiltino]

Yeah, I'm using an old q6600 cpu, its a quad core socket 775 cpu and i am getting 150GRC per mined block i find.

How often you find block?

Its probably your gridcoin.conf, try setting the rpcport = 9332 and the rpcuser and rpcpassword. Verify gridcoin.conf is in the data dir.
You can verify your server is working with a
telnet localhost 9332
(Should get a blank screen)

Good luck,
Grid

Hi Asdlolciterquit,
For CPU Only (boinc) mining, we put the entire onus on the official boinc project to track the total cobblestones, and we put the 3rd party API check onus on a random GPU user; so your cpu is 100% available to boinc.

Good luck,
P. Keys

Looks correct, try disabling your firewall; ensure conf file is in the data dir; also try the telnet command posted above; You may have to "Add windows Features" to add telnet first.
Telnet should not fail with connection refused.

Good luck,

I have my gridcoin wallet open for 15mins and still 0 Active Connections. Why is that so? Any nodes that could be added?

We're close to being able to go live with cpumining; I think we should shoot for Saturday afternoon to go live.

You can earn up to 150grc per day per single host machine that is CPU+BOINC mining (btw, we have no intention of ever changing that, so for the bean counters, the maximum Gridcoin minted coins are 150*576 per day for the GPU users and 150*576 per day for the CPU users (of course, decreasing over the standard schedule); and we will never devalue gridcoin further than that as we want a high and stable exchange value).

Yes, as soon as we reach ~128 cpuminers, competition will start automatically and it will be important for you to earn high boinc credits in order to receive 150grc per day (since you will be in the cpu pool competing by boinc avg credits).

Good luck,
Grid

I think there was a node list somewhere on this thread. It should connect without putting nodes list I would think. Make sure the firewall is not blocking Gridcoin.
