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

[Spendy]

communicating with boinc client. please wait...

exit boinc manager or cancel

why my boinc manager keeps closing? any help thanks

I think your AV/firewall is blocking it from accessing the internet.
Try to do an exception in your firewall for all  boinc exe files (C:\Program Files\BOINC)
There are few of them there.
If that don't helps, i would if i were you,  completely uninstall  AV and turned off the firewall just to see if that
solves the problem.

What about creating a logo: "Gridcoin Accepted Here" and promoting commercial transactions using Gridcoin as payment?

Hi everyone!

There are 10 hours to go on the counter. If we're at 1st place we will be added!

Let's push it a little!

done...but we have at least to double the votes we have right now..

where can i find some stats about the pool? for example hashrate, last block found, number of miners...etc?

thanks!

thanks!

I added the last block found in block history.  Ill add number of miners and hashrate today (read cryptocointalk for my other daily problem lol).  Ill try to add the increased payment for pool newbies also, seems very important.

@Gridcoin can you please help? I am getting this when i try to compile it in ubuntu.

rpcmining.cpp:15:16: fatal error: io.h: No such file or directory
 #include "io.h"
                ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [obj/rpcmining.o] Error 1

Code:

Project MESSAGE: Warning: unknown QT: qaxcontainer

make terminates with following error:

Code:

src/qt/bitcoingui.cpp:9:21: fatal error: QAxObject: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Please help me to solve this problem.
Cant add the coin until someone points us in the right direction.

Hello Allcrypt, thanks for adding us.

To build gridcoind, use the link Traderman mentions:
http://www.gridcoin.us/download/compilingGridcoinOnlinux.txt

Ensure you are git cloning the 'gridcoin-master/gridcoin-master-linux' and build from the Linux directory. 
If you have any problems with io.h, (some Debian 64 distros reported this), change that one line to  #include <sys/io.h>.

Other than that you should be good to go.  Once you create your gridcoin.conf file, add node 'www.gridcoin.us' if you have any sync issues.

Best of Luck,
Grid

Hey,
I've got lots of computers sitting about, but no graphics cards for them.
I've been trying to get gridcoin running on all of them, but the issue i've run into is that CPU mining seems to only be made for one computer per account..

How should I go about implementing gridcoin on all of my computers so I can get paid for participating in BOINC?</p>
I've replicated the gridcoin wallet across all of the computers so that my gridcoin account recieving address is on all of them, but looking into CPU mining more in depth, it would appear i'd only get paid once for that recieving address despite multiple computers being connecting to it.

So, am I going to have to create 10+ boinc accounts for each boinc project and join the gridcoin team each time? With seperate gridcoin installations? That seems very long winded to me : (

Edit: Also, why is it that high-performing boinc participating is not rewarded appropriately? I'm doing 100k points/day on one rig and 300k points/day on the other gpu rig for boinc, but it's not taken into account.. GPUs are only used for scrypt? : /

Regards,

Customminer.

With cpumining you will have to create an acc for each computer. So you have to do it the long way unfortunately. Actually you are getting rewarded more if you put down more points then others. Cpuminers compete amongst each other, once the number of cpu miners rises even more you will start to notice it.

Is it 150grc reward per boinc cpu mining project? Or is it just 150grc in total?

I think there is 576 blocks assigned for the cpu miners and they are divided amongst all the cpuminers based on how much they donated. So the more cpuminers there are on the network the more credits you have to get to get a larger share of the pie. That promotes competition for the cpu miners to donate more to Boinc
projects.

Cool sounds good.

I think a more aggressive stance should be taken against gpu miners with gridcoin. Currently you need what, like 1000 boinc points to get 100% boinc utilisation to get the max 150grc/block. I can get easily 100k from running 4 7950's on boinc alongside 100% scrypt mining, and 300k boinc points/day with the same tech configuration on windows 7. I think it should be significantly raised to like 50,000 boinc points/day to get the full 150 block reward size. This will seriously boost our boinc team stats, and will make it less easy to mine the heck out of GRC with gpus with little contribution to boinc.

I agree 1000 is a little low. Even with mediocre gpu you can get prog 5-10k daily credits. Maybe 5-10k per day might be a good number.

0-5k = 5grc/block
5k-10k = 10grc/block
10k-25k = 25grc/block
25k-50k = 50grc/block
50k-75k = 75grc/block
75k-100k = 100grc/block
100k-125k = 125grc/block
125k-150k = 150grc/block

I think the above would be quite suitable.. It'd really drive users to contribute far more towards boinc resources.
On another note, i've been contributing quite a lot towards www.reddit.com/r/gridcoin if we could all regularly have a presence there it'd be great!

I've posted a couple bounties for gridcoin on there to the sum of a couple btc!

i have a few computers with only CPU. Does it worth to try to mine on that pool? And if yes how do i mine?

Forget pool mining and use this tutorial: https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1922-cpu-mining-tutorialtopic/

The idea is that you use all your cpu power towards boinc and get gridcoins as reward!

0-5k = 5grc/block
5k-10k = 10grc/block
10k-25k = 25grc/block
25k-50k = 50grc/block
50k-75k = 75grc/block
75k-100k = 100grc/block
100k-125k = 125grc/block
125k-150k = 150grc/block

I have 3570k/4.3ghz running 24/7 and I got about 6-7k RAC so you think I should get only 10grc/block? sorry but lol...

I think 1k is too low it should be something like 2-3k and that's only my opinion.

but thanks for boosting mintpal voting!
