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

[SeriousCoins14]

Everybody seems to be pulling their money out of c-cex (our only exchange) right after I got interested in this coin. I'm new and not really holding a bag but I'm going to embark on a crusade to make sure every exchange hears about this coin. It's a gem in a sea of crappy coins. I can't believe its not getting more attention.

Let me know what else you guys are trying to do to get this coin rolling and I'll jump in

New Version Available:
1.1.6.5/80/8.5:
...
- Modified CPU Mining beacons to be sent once every 72 hours.
- Modified CPU mining payments to have a lookback period of 72 hours.  
- Modified CPU Mining payments to pay 150grc*3 (450) in as large chunks as possible per host.  

...

i'm not sure i have understood right.
Basically, avery 72 hours the wallet will send a beacon(s), we get a max of 3*150grc, and then the cycle restart after 72 hours have been passed?

One question: if i receive my 450grc in the first 24 hours, does need i to keep the wallet open in the next 48 hours?

What I don't understand:
If I were to shut off my GPU miners, what would change? Thus far I've found two blocks (pool enabled) and my payouts have been 14, 75, 75, and 47 all over a 4 hour period, then absolute 0 for the past 8 hours. So I found 2 blocks and got paid 4 times then completely flatlined? If I'm running 100% utilization on Boinc but not GPU mining, what kind of payout would I get? If I turned GPU miners back on?

you had pool mined true or false? and cpumined?

with poolmining enabled you'll start to get payment only after you'll find a block. After that you'll receive a little payout for every blocks found. This even if you don't have cgminer running anymore. After that, you need to find an other block to keep receive payouts...
and so on.
If you keep mining in pool, more block you find, more grc you'll give.

Keep in mind that cpumining and gpumining (in pool or not) are totally separated.

P.S: if i wrote something wrong, please correct me.

So far nothing makes sense, my wallet sent out one beacon at 20:50 yesterday, then 2 more at 21:19 and 21:45 today. Why does it send out beacons? And is it totally random when it does send out beacons? I have no understanding of what's going out, and no understanding of what's coming in.

if you have cpumined on, the wallet will send a few beacons after sometimes that you have started it. Maybe this sometimes becomes hours. (this happen usually to me). After that you'll start to receive payment until a max of 150grc.

It send out beacons for a reason but i don't remember it...someone had wrote it some posts ago.

I don't know what's going on, it's just going down hill. I turned pool mining off on another users advice. I checked my GPU miner when I got in tonight and looked at the times for my found shares compared to wallet, no payments received anywhere around those time periods. As my mining console "avg daily credits" grows, my payouts have now dropped to the 0.5 - 3 GRC range, I'm not making anything now.

I'm leaving this on because I would rather contribute to BOINC over using my computers as high powered furnaces, but I have to have botched up settings somehow. I'll delete everything but wallet and start fresh one more time.

let us know! i'll try to help you if i can!

Wallet sync problems returned after latest update 

[damx]

Same here, sync problem

[s4mmy]

Yep sync problems too

[MickGhee]

Same here, sync problem

me too

[heretolearn]

Hi Rob,

This is somewhat urgent, I see a lot of people are reporting sync problems but even more importantly the developer at C-CEX.com is having a problem compiling the new version (rpcmining.cpp:15:16: fatal error: io.h: No such file or directory). That is most urgent as of now, last time when c-cex went offline,we lost quite a bit of market cap.

Please get in touch with him ASAP.

Thanks

sync problem but i DON'T have updated the wallet yet...

edit: update the wallet but nothing change. Does i have to delete all the blockchain?

Delete peers.dat and try again. Hope it helps!

And of course boot the wallet after deleting

thanks! now it seems it works fine!

It's just remain the old notice: attention: transaction might be wrong etc etc or something like that. But i think is normal becouse someone haven't updated the wallet yet...

Sync problems are due to people not upgrading.
This is a hard fork.

Can someone please notify CCEX that I uploaded the Linux source for gridcoind just now?  If they have any problems building tell them to contact me at contact@gridcoin.us

so, all we can do is wait?

Yes, we are permanently on this version now; we need to get the cpuminers to upgrade.  They are rejecting forwarded blocks.

I'm trying to get ahold of the exchange now.

ok, thx man!

[traderman]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EVERYONE HAS TO UPGRADE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gridcoin]

I got ahold of support @ c-cex about an hour ago, and I believe they rebuilt the wallet.  Has anyone traded recently?

Sync issues are slowly going away...

[Inrideo]

I'm all sync'd up, and just got a nice 80 gridcoin addition to the wallet

[COINPRADER]

I'm trying to mine in the new pool with GUI miner - do we have a port setting that I can put in for the pool URL?

[duazo]

I'm trying to set up Gridcoin solo mining, but I'm getting a bit confused by the terminology. I want to GPU mine, to get the maximum reward per block possible - but does GPU mining just mean that the wallet and cgminer will use GPU mining, or that Boinc has to use the GPU too?

Or is it enough for Boinc to only use the CPU? Otherwise, it seems that three things are using the GPU... cgminer, the wallet and Boinc?

I'm not sure it's working correctly, because:

• "Boinc Processing Power" is showing as only 50
• "Boinc KH/ps" is showing as 0 (is this for Boinc CPU processing or GPU processing or both?)
• "Boinc Utilization Low"

Are these things expected for GPU mining? Thanks a lot in advance
