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

[GrahamBen]

As an early adopter, you should know high risk high return.

Unbelievable, I hate this fucking piece of shit coin so fucking much, if it wasn't so profitable I wouldn't touch this buggy bullshit.  Well it is profitable when the wallet doesn't corrupt AGAIN and 15K GRC disappear into thin air.  Fuck GRC, fuck GRC, fuck GRC.

finally i started mining..

but i still have some concerns.

My Boinc Utilization is only at 52   normally it should be near 100 right?  My CPU is working on 100%

The Boing KHps  shows  0 too..

Do i really mining to get a reward/gridcoins?

How do i know when i solve a block?



Help would be highly appreciated :-)

if i understood right, you will get Boinc Utilization at 100% when you have > than 1000 boinc average daily points.

when you solve a block, you'll get a payout! you'll notice it for sure!

It's strange, I'm back to seeing a trickle of .3 at a time, after a day of 5 found blocks when I got the new card.
I'm running poolmining off at a hash rate of 800 mh/s.
How's the block solving going for other folks?

ahhh finally someone whose mining in pool!

can you write some stats? You have found 5 blocks in a day, now you're keep mining in pool? how many coins you make at day?

Yea. Solved a block but didnt get any payout.. also can't see any confirmation that I get it rewarded

after you solved the block, how much was the value A on you cgminer?

[pabloangello]

Could someone tell me what is an estimated reward for CPU mining with i7 3630QM ? - It is 4 cores / 8 threads 3.4 Ghz processor.

i got nothing. no confirmation nothing in the gridoin wallet.   just 1 accepted in the mining module left on the top.

uhm...maybe it's just bad luck
sometimes you find a block but "you lost it", for example because your wallet in that time wasn't syncronized...

That happened to me too, once only luckily.

Let us know if it'll happen again!

I just started mining today in the morning. How can I calculated my expected blocks per day with the current difficulty

New Version Available:
1.1.5.4/65/7.71; Upgrade from RPC: Yes

I have a question regarding new version: as rewards became less frequent, am I risking to miss/skip a valuable a reward when I close the wallet for a while (say, 1 hour)?
With previous versions it was much simpler as the rewards were distributed equally over time and were rather small (with poolmining). Now I'm afraid to close the wallet & GRCmining even for half an hour.

That block should be in your wallet. I have never had a found block that did not register in the wallet. I use guiminer scrypt and I run it externally to Gridcoin.

I always make backups. That is the #1 rule in dealing with anything computer related. Also make backups of the backups and store on different media. dvd, usb etc..

I've been mining since November and never lost a coin.  I had the wallet corrupt twice but it was always remedied with -salvagewallet or deleting the blockchain or syncing a new wallet and then pasting the old wallet.dat back in.  As mentioned before, the wallet.dat seems to encounter problems when it eclipses 1.5mb in size.  Have you run a memtest and disk check lately?

CPU mining works great  
Waiting for blocks reward increase for it  

[alexius89]

yea just got it 6 hours later.  But my Utilizsation is only 55 -.-

how long does it take to reach 100?

[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?

no one? i just need a confirmation...

No-if you don't find a block within the lookback period you then fall out of the pool.

What does the "Full speed" tick do? Does it override the configs intensity?

Yes,
Full speed runs intensity @ your configurations intensity; Unchecked runs it 40% slower.

For someone who has contributed zero to the entire project, its a little arrogant of you to call it buggy, and I also don't support swearing on our forums.


Send your coins out to a new wallet and start over.  I've been testing this coin on 5 machines for 30 days straight, and I guarantee the problems are YOURS and not ours once you use a small wallet (< 300k).

Take your bad attitude elsewhere.

Gridcoin was being discussed today in the trollbox on BTC-E!  Just FYI.
