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

[Gridcoin]

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

try addnode www.gridcoin.us
(Should not need to, not sure why).

Hey Rob, it would be cool if we can display some Boinc or WCG stats on the main site. Like projects and work done and all that. I am not sure how much work that would involve, but would be neat.

This helped thank you.

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.

Another question. Do you mine with Boinc or by "setgenerate true" command in console?

New Version Available:

1.1.5.3/64: Upgrade from RPC : Yes

* This is a prerequisite to CPUMining.  It adds some security * 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?

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

thx!

so, to have 150coins for block, we can have only gridcoin project on boinc??

i never put that command in the console before. The cpu mining power goes towards the Boinc program i have running.

Yep I see now that mining without Boinc is not possible (this setgenerate standard command is not avaliable).

[asdlolciterquit]

I'm sorry, i've one more question about pool mining.

if i mine in pool, i'll start to get payed when i'll find my first block, and, i'll keep get payed even if i quit mining for a few day after that.
But what happen if i find a block mining in pool and then keep mining in pool without find any other block, for, don't know, 15 o more days..? Will i keep have payouts?

This kind of thing?

CPU mining is now working perfect for me.  I see myself in both pools, paid the .06 and just received the micro payment!
I'm sure this has been talked about but I cannot find it in the thread;
I use CPU to mine - 100% goes to BOINC (very cool) and I get GRC credit for that.
Does that credit (for BOINC) also get credited to avg daily for GPU calculation?
Are we double counting that CPU time?

Hey Guys,

How to fix this problem here..?



its the integrated cgminer in gridcoin-qt

Im using a r9-290

[Inrideo]

I'd love to see some kind of project in place where the researchers can set up gridcoin accounts and portions of the coins we generate are contributed to their projects as well

Isn't that a driver issue?  Do you have the latest drivers and opencl?
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/
Also also maybe try deleting the cgminer.conf and see if helps.  I use a .bat for my settings instead of writing a .conf.

[alexius89]

i have all updated drivers and the devolopment kit,  do i need to download the beta drivers too?

I dont have a cgminer.conf  actually and cant find one too.  Im using the cgminer which is integrated in the gridcoin-qt

[traderman]

Yes I suppose something like that, nicer format however.

I believe it would be in C:\username\AppData\Roaming\Gridcoin\cgminer0\ in your case.  It seems like it has some weird settings configured that are preventing it from working properly to me..

there is reallz no cgminer.conf     shall i create one? If yes with which content?

You will find a really good guide here https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1589-how-to-mine-gridcoin/
it contains the items you need to put into your cgminer.conf

Is it possible to mine Gridcoin in Linux?

Yes Traderman,
That's a great idea; will definitely do it!
