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

[derm]

Yeah, same problem. Don't know what to do.

Did it happen 10-20 hours ago, as with me?

New Version Available:
7.7.7/70/1.1.5.7: Upgrade from RPC: Yes

* In this version we correct the cpumining next payment amount and outstanding amount owed and resolve most of the bloated wallet issue.

Please upgrade ASAP as this version will only work correctly after 51% upgrade.

Maybe, resolving bloated wallets doesn't cope with every wallet in the same way..
Still looking for possible reasons.
Rob, may I ask you to comment on this, please?

i have ver. 1.1.5.5 GRC client, i was mining the whole day and found a block then when i woke up my miner say " not responding" and found out the client close by it self so i re open the client and its not synchronizing properly so what i did is uninstall the client, delete the gridcoin folder, delete the blocks and chainstate folder as well as the peers.dat files and reistall the grc client but still unlucky to synchronize it, so i have no choice but to restart my computer and when i re-run the client again it says "Warning Displayed transaction may not be correct! you may need to upgrade or node need to be upgrade" i don't know what to do now? any solution? Thanks  

How did it work out for you, airtreb? Could you recover?

Did it happen 10-20 hours ago, as with me?

Yep. I thought it was because of my PC crash, but I deleted and redownloaded all the Gridcoin files and chkdsk didn't find anything wrong with my drive.
So yeah, apparently it stopped working for both of us ~10-20 hours ago.

Really would like to know what is the cause of it and how to fix this.

Solo mining works fine for me. It's definetly pool problem. Still seeking for solution. Thanks

Hi Zulzedd,

I believe the issue is the recent switch to daily payments vs constant payments.  The pool system now only pays you if the other members of the pool find a block in your wallet hour; you probably got unlucky over the last day and didn't get a payment.  The payment will be much larger since it only goes to recipients matching the wallet hour.

where i can download the new version which GRIDCOIN mentioned?  DO i have to replace just the old one? before saving the wallet.dat,  right?

EDIT: found it but if i typ upgrade and then ENTER this appears: 

Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade. (code -2)

the blockchain sycronizing  just 1 hour behind but it takes so long time..

Reproduced this issue; if this happens to anyone do a :
cd c:\program files (x86)\gridcoin
grcrestarter upgrade

Good luck,
Grid

[Gridcoin]

you guys gotten this to build with makefile.unix?  Seems code for this coin is dependent on functions in qt/bitcoingui.cpp and various qt components

Working on the Linux version now for Ubuntu; I am hoping/shooting to have a rough release out this weekend for Ubuntu; I need volunteers to test it and should be familiar with how to scrypt mine already and the card should be installed in the machine with Linux (not a virtual machine) and the machine should have wine; please let me know if you would like to test it.

I think what fxmulder is saying is that the client does not compile, if I am understanding him correctly?

grid says the linux client works find but you just can't mine with linux is. (You will be able to within a week)

Yeah, i thought there was a linux client already released, turns out its just the source code atm.

traderman this is correct

hamiltino I always build from source, going down the rabbit hole it seems there's some core dependencies on qt components, not sure why they exist but they prevent compilation

Is this for an exchange?  We have a coin-only client for Linux that builds; it just wont mine.  It runs natively.
The one Im talking about for this weekend is a mining version that works on Linux & Mac and requires wine to run.

The recent upgrades required an additional security check for cpumined blocks and could have broken older versions; after upgrading to 7.7 did you all recover? 
All 5 of my machines recovered and went through that block.

Gridcoin, check your pms. I sent you one.

So, for 3 days i and other 3 miners, at least, didn't receive payments? I must to swith on pool mining and check for some people , bigger quantity is better, with same Wallet Hour variable. Right? Thank you!

Yeah all I need is the wallet, I don't need to mine if you have a link to source I can build.

This was the post I meant to quote, I need to be able to build the wallet on 64 bit ubuntu without gui/qt support

[lmue]

good news. we start trading internally as well in china. The price is similar to here. around 0.5 RMB (ca. 0.08 USD)/ 1 GRC.

[traderman]

Reinstall wallet and delete the blocks and sql folders in appdata, then resync from start. I had same issue, that is a way to fix it.

thx! i did it just 2 min ago

[groten]

Thx, fixed the problem

if you have a wallet backup it's easy to get them back again.
Just delete the current wallet with the lost coins, and put the intact backup in place.
Then run gridcoin and it will rescan the wallet and adjust for all transactions that did and did not complete.
I've been having a bunch of transactions not complete and get them back this way.

Also, I had some that remained uncompleted for the better part of a day suddenly go through. I believe it had something to do with the timing of finding a new block. They sent right around then. So it might have taken them that long to notice they had a node to travel to and confirm on.

edit: typo fix. them/then

I transferred the last days some coins to my back-up wallet cos my wallet size is exploding (6Mb), all transactions succeeded, except the last one from yesterday.

Money is not in my wallet anymore and in the transactions historie I can see following,

19-1-2014 12:00 To FyxhBbEjhfWQznDHjrJWpCgcz8WuiXuq8E, debit -500, transaction fee -1,74, transaction ID 7b55bba6ad2c75a4c1211c7fc33ad891012579effe421093dfdd2d9152561d6b

However Status 0/unconfirmed.

After that transaction I got three mined received transactions, they are all confirmed en show up in my balance.

Upgraded just to 1.1.5.7-g71-prod/70

What can be wrong, are these coins lost??

[asdlolciterquit]

is it normal that i pay this 3 beacon in cpumining?

[COINPRADER]

is it normal that i pay this 3 beacon in cpumining?

I get this as well (3 beacons same amount).  I assumed it was 3 CPUs running?
