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

[restless]

What has to be done in order to use cgminer?
Download guiminer 0.04 and 0.05. With both versions extracted in folder "guiminer" under Gridcoin one (c:\rpogram files x86...)
Gridcoin says that  cgminer is missing

So what to do?! Gridcoin is synced, boinc is running...

PS:
Added poolmining=true, copied guiminer folder into /users/user/appdata/roaming/gridcoin (instead of manual saying to copy in program files...)
ANd guiminer showed up.

But cgminer stops working, so it never starts mining with GPU.

You can run cgminer  external,just like other scrypt coins.
Sometimes the inside cgminer don't work very good.

run it external? ok, but what settings for pool/user/password?!
stratum or http? (like ...
-o http://127.0.0.1:9332 or... what? )

How would I check if it is even running :/

Is there ANY how-to which is known to work?

It works.
But the Network diff seems not right.
Have your wallet synced?
You need wait the wallet synced.

The key "poolmining=true" is not needed,the internal pool was too old.
There is a new pool.
If you want to ming in a pool,try this:

Now most people  solo.

We should put all of the voting links in the sidebar.

Did I miss any?

I linked directly to the gridcoin marketing thread on bitcointalk instead of listing each of the exchanges with voting pages.

It seems like there's two camps here. One that wants to see Gridcoin stabilize and grow, and recognize the issues that come with it being a single developer project. The other wants to get rich, now.

I don't care much for the second group.

i've been following GRC since around thanksgiving and I want it to succeed however launching a coin and updating the client every few days is not a good idea at all.  There is to much conflicting information, the files on the website aren't even the correct versions of the client...if you download the msi you're fine if you get the zip you get old versions etc, if you want to do a coin etc you need to release proper versions with proper communication, saying go this forum or go to this twitter page is not proper communication.  The website should ALWAYS have the proper versions of the software and NEVER have a version that is out of date.

I agree, this is essential, I can't see a reason for this not being streamlined already.
Thing is, problems wont outgrow with time, but tend to get more w growing adoption.

My suggestion: tedious update routines like website version maintenance and thread/OP updates should be delegated. assertion of consistency is straightforward and can be outsourced. We need a single specified source of truth. Then a sendmail-task in Rob's release-toolchain is enough to have agents swarm out to fix the various sites.

I agree the official web site should be the source of record for the latest version, we should have a list of latest news bulletins on the web site to allow people to understand the state of the coin, and that zip should not be out of date, or it should be removed.

We should have a disclaimer on the non official supporter web site:  Click here to go to the official site, etc.  Aysyr created the other site on his own and did a relatively nice job, but communication is lacking.

Regarding stuck transactions, the newest version will pull up more transactions and you may not receive the -5 not on file error (Chiznit was receiving).

I have not received PMs from Poloniex or allcrypt yet, I have no idea if they are running the newest version.  If they do not sync, PM me.

I almost made it work.

-upgraded to 2.0.5
-server works on 127.0.0.1:9332

Now - cgminer 3.4.0 keeps crashing (cgminer stopped working). I guess it fails to compile the cl file

Is cgminer 3.7.2 ok for mining?


PS:
AFter coying the bin file from 3.7.3 folder to 3.4.0 folder it seems that it started working

The blockchain explorer ( http://explorer.gridcoin.us/ ) doesn't have that option yet you need to use your wallet to do that.

What market did you use? Are they ( Exchanger ) using the latest wallet version? Are you using the latest wallet version?
