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

[traderman]

Damn, Poloniex got hacked too. It is good Gridcoin is on several exchanges now.

Crypto needs a decentralized exchange so badly.

Has anyone managed to get gridcoin working on windows thin pc? (Official thin version of windows 7).

The issue i'm having is that the gridcoin wallet is saying there is an md5 error in reading the boinc md5. Is there a work around for this?

Are there any windows service dependancies for gridcoin?

And are there any pre-requisites other than .net 4.5?

Cheers


edit:

Aysyr asked me to administer the official twitter acc for Gridcoin.

Here it is: https://twitter.com/GridcoinNetwork

Any chance you could begin to tweet the gridcoin updates as they are released to stop forking of the network? Cheers : )

You could try that it is a bit old but worked for my friend atleast. Also have you configured in gridcoin.conf:
boincappfolder=C:\Program Files\Boinc\
boincdatafolder=D:\BOINC\'

of course change your own paths for those.

[traderman]

I could do that.

Yeah, i've got these in my gridcoin.conf file but it's made no difference.
Here's a screenshot:


The resolution does not affect the graphical glitching of the text; it'll go off screen. And the md5 error is persisting : /

If i'm able to get it working on win 7 thin, i could run it on plenty more computers.

Hi,

one more think you can try is taking possesion of those folders and making sure they are NOT 'read only'.
Also try running Gridcoin as administrator.

Hope this helps,
Andrew.

[andrewp]

EDITED: I have checked that they ( the second hashrate in cgminer ) are the same, they are the averaged hashrate.

Hi João,

No problem. I'm glad I could help.

Alright, so i applied your suggestions and changed the resolution and it's fixed the text rendering issue, but the md5 error persists.

@gridcoin dev: Are there any windows services that are dependancies?

I can remember that there are two libraries/files needs to be registered boinc.dll and boinc.tlb with (with admin command line):
regasm boinc.dll
regtlibv12 boinc.tlb
Usuallay this is done by the installer but maybe it failed?

Just applied the changes you suggested and haven't gotten past the boinc md5 error : /

Any chances this is because it's 32bit not 64bit? I've got 64bit win7 ultimate working fine.

[andrewp]

I've had 64bit versions on all of my machines and never had this problem as long as the path in gridcoin.conf was correct.

Hey guys! All people are worried about mining, but as important as mining is to find market to this coin. In last days there has been a huge investment in the cryptocoin market and we need to join efforts for our coin to follow this tendency, since until now there was no valorization. There is some aspects that need a urgent change, a few examples:
- Both the official sites and main pages of forum must be periodically updated. Some important information is missing: all sites where the coin is exchanged, the twitter and facebook pages, vote pages to add the coin to a new exchange.
- The first and the second sites should be merged. Alternatively, It there should be a link from one to other. The first site should contain more information.
- The Logo should be updated in coinmarketcap.com

Hi, i have a big problem!
I can see my wallet anymore! When i start it, appears only the icon! I can click on it even 1000 times, but nothing happens! I can't even see if my wallet is sync.

I agree, I think Rob is a little overburdened right now with development of Gridcoin client, I can rearrange the first page of this thread with all the new relevant information very well, but I am not sure if it is possible unless it is done from Rob's account. I am not sure I can get admin privilege.

Thanks for taking care of the twitter acc.

+1 to help with the posts etc.
I'll gladly help too.
I don't have any programming skills(apart from Matlab which probably doesn't count here ) however I would probably be able to help with keeping website/facebook etc. content up to date. etc.
