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

[YamashitaRen]

The main problem is you should receive types registered successfully; not a noveau error; you can try googling that problem and fixing wine first; I tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and it works & boots & listens for mining;

The Nvidia/Nouveau RandR error isn't a problem. This is a ?#?# political? ethical? problem between Nvidia devs and wine devs. Wine works and it wouldn't work better with Nouveau :p
Google it if you want but I can assure you that this "fixme error" has nothing to do with us

Code:

[Yama@VaioLaptop wine]$ ls
BoincLinux.dll  BoincLinux.lib        GridcoinLinuxGUI.exe  OpenCL.Net.dll  QtGui4.dll      SQLite.NET.dll  debug2.txt      grcrestarter_copy.exe  libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll  mingwm10.dll   msvcr100d.dll       regtlibv12.exe
BoincLinux.exp  GrcInstallBanner.jpg  MSVBVM60.DLL          QtCore4.dll     QtNetwork4.dll  SQLite3.dll     debugLinux.txt  gridcoin-qt.exe        libstdc++-6.dll     msvcp100d.dll  prjTestHarness.exe  zlib1.dll

I haven't mschrt20.ocx and mscomctl.ocx in the wine directory. Don't you think this is the source of this problem  ?

Code:

[Yama@VaioLaptop wine]$ wine regsvr32 mschrt20.ocx
err:winediag:xrandr12_init_modes Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.
Failed to load DLL mschrt20.ocx
[Yama@VaioLaptop wine]$ wine regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx
err:winediag:xrandr12_init_modes Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.
Failed to load DLL mscomctl.ocx

2) You are mining scrypt successfully on the box correct? So the problem is only restricted to building the wine client.

Since wine graphical apps require a display to run, I'm testing your wine client on my laptop. I can mine scrypt on my laptop and already did it.
This is the first objective : having the QT wine wallet to run on my laptop and make it communicate with boinc and cudaminer. We need this in order to "prove" that GRC can work on linux.

In the future, I want to run Gridcoin on my mining rig. My rig doesn't have a display. So I need the cli native linux wallet to work with Boinc or a wine cli wallet ...
This is the final objective : having the GRC client working headless. Usually, linux mining rigs don't have a display
There is a workaround which is to use export DISPLAY=:0 :

Code:

[Yama@FedoraDesktop wine]$ wine gridcoin-qt.exe

The client seems to "launch" on my rig but since the rig doesn't have a display, I can't do anything on the client. If I earn GRC, I will have to connect a display in order to transfer them ... This is not good.

Guys, I haven't been mining GRC and doing Boinc job for 3 days, and now my Boinc Avg Daily Credits jumped from 880 to 0!
Is it intended behavior?
Does it mean that I have to wait until I get 900-1000 credits again for client to show "100% Boinc Utilization"?

this is important: i've send some of my coins to a wrong address: tell me there is a way to recover it!!

Unfortunately, there's only one way that could happen: Track down the owner of the address (assuming it's a valid and owned address), beg them nicely to return your coins, and hope that they are honest enough to do it. Good luck!

Rob,

Do you purge the leaderbord in some way?

Reason I ask is that I still see my old address G7UD.. in the leaderbord, since it was encrypted I changed to a new address 6 days ago and since that time it has not been active anymore, all project are linked to the new address since the 24th.

Someone with a lot of credits can exploit that..

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! 

thanks anyways for the reply..

Unless the person you sent it to sends it back, you are out of luck.

Just letting all you guys know.

We're currently doing a logo design contest for Gridcoin on 99Designs and we need all our community members to participate in rating the entries. Voting is easy and instructions and links to the polls are below:

https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/3950-99designs-gridcoin-logo-competition-please-help-judge-4-days-left/

We would really appreciate it if all of you took the time to rate the entries so we can get a well-rounded decision for the finalists and the winner.

Thanks!

[traderman]

Everyone needs to vote for the new Logo!!!!!

It's the nature of digital currency, to prevent chargebacks. Once currency has left, it's gone for good. Did you send the coins to someone in your address book or mistype an address?

If you sent it to the wrong person, would they give it back?

I'v asked this before but nobody answered 
There is no mandatory fee hardcoded in gridcoin wallet, so this can cause a microtransaction flood in the blockchain ?

[traderman]

When i do send 2 or 3 times in a short time I get asked to pay fee. It seems it is related to the frequency of transactions.

Today I tried CPU mining for the first time and it worked great. The client sent out 2 beacons and after about 1 hour I started getting small payments. I was donating to the Rosetta@home project. Usually I GPU mine, but today I decided to try CPU and I am impressed.

Can grid please get rid of the: Gridcoin introduction - Newsflash video link here. It makes gridcoin seem like a scamcoin.

Thanks.

is there any maximum limitation on the amount of transfer.
 
one guy did 2 times transfer, 1st time 100k and 2nd time 40k, but only the 2nd time is confirmed and the 1st time is still with a question mark right now.
 
he is using the latest version and without syn. problem and tried to rebuild chain for several times.

I think Rob can answer that one.

I agree. I think that video is not necessary.
