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

[RTMoney]

Gridcoin is doing a hardfork over the weekend, so you might want to wait till that clears up before starting anything!

Hi,

did the cpu mining change since january? At that time I had to log me in on boinc with my gridcoin-adress.

Now I logged in in the project I participate (peom@home) with christopbergmann

I modified my .conf (added the email-adress I set when signing up at poem@home). Then I startet gridcoin-qt. Boinc is running, the project is running, my cpu is completely used. But in gridcoin-qt I can't access the mining-console. When I click it just nothing happens.

The debug-file says:

2014-09-26 17:06:23 Starting Gridcoin PoB miner
2014-09-26 17:06:23 {GNP}.z1...PoBMiner{ST}..{GNP}All projects exhausted.  Sleeping...

2014-09-26 17:06:25 Cannot reach credit check node... Checking main chain

and it repeats:

oBMiner{ST}..{GNP}All projects exhausted.  Sleeping...

I think I'm not mining yet ...

Ah, ok, thank you. What's happening? T thought proof-of-research starts not until mid october ... are the 399 grc in my wallet safe?

Yes your coins are safe.  You should however always backup your wallet in case of computer failed or some other problem.  As long as you have the backup you can recover your coins.  All you will need to do is run an upgrade from the wallet upon release.  You will have 6 months to convert coins when Research is released in October. This release is to setup the rules for when the switch begins.

Please see this draft that we will be posting in a dedicated PR thread regarding our transition to the Proof Of Research wallet around mid October (shortly before our 1 year anniversary):

http://www.gridcoin.us/guides/gridcoinpor.pdf

This guide outlines the major differences between the existing proof of work wallet and PoR wallet.

On a high level, we will be exercising the following actions over the next month (will provide details soon):

* Hard fork required in the classic wallet around Oct 1st 2014 (this ensures higher security during the retirement phase and a diminishing block reward for its last 6 month lifespan)
  for all users and exchanges.
* Release of PoR wallet around 10-10.  Mining in the PoR wallet begins.
* Exchanges stop trading GRC classic
* Exchanges start trading GRC using the PoR wallet
* Coin burning begins - extends on for 6 months
* Coins are exchanged via a dedicated foundation site for Gridcoin PoR coins (at 10* quantity)

It is a very exciting time. 

We also started advertising on Bing and have had over 600 clicks into gridcoin.us.

Rob

All good news! What will be the new maximum supply of GRC after the fork/update? Capped or uncapped?

Cheers!

Hi,

The new decay schedule that starts on 10-20-2014 is very aggressive.  Please see the end of this document:

You have to open a support ticket on Poloniex otherwise you will not see your coins. I think due to the switchover they have instituted some kind of manual approval system or something, what bothers me about Poloniex is that their support is silent on why these delays are happening, I have inquired multiple times, but so far onle silence. For the time being I have decided to stop using them till this situation is resolved.

Hi,

i have a problem.

Yesterday i have sent an amount of GRC from my Wallet to  my Poloniex Gridcoin deposit Adress.
but didnt receive it yet...

here the details:


Amount: -50137.78 GRC
Transaction-ID: a0b13d043f01f8d7ec218fce595eb99c13abaadd17444f2bcb21902ae17b8af0

Status: 0/offline, wurde noch nicht erfolgreich übertragen (not yet transferred successfully)
Datum: 27.09.2014 03:53

there is also a question mark left to the date. (0 out of 6 confirmations)

help appreciated..thanks :-)

poloniex trouble thread: https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/16765-poloniex-grc-problems

thanks for the link...so it just takes more time than usual that coins will appear in the balance, right?

really glad to read this post, just one question: what do you mean whit Coin burning begins ?

Regarding coin burning - or coin exchange:

We are planning to launch the new Proof Of Research wallet on approx 10-15-2014 (we will be writing a summary and will give at least 10 days notice before mining begins).

Once we start mining the new wallet, a web site will be opened up for the foundation that contains the 31-32~ million GRC in escrow.
These classic coins will be converted to PoR coins by multiplying the original coins by a factor of 10.

All users will burn their old classic coins through the foundation site by sending the old coins to a dedicated vanity address.  They will receive coins in the new wallet automatically *10.

In this way all old classic coins will be destroyed and all users will end up with Proof Of Research coins.
The program will go on for approx 5 months to give everyone time to convert the coins.

Please upgrade as early as possible so we can avoid hard fork issues.

Running the upgrade shuts down any instances of cgminer running under command prompt (observed on two Win7 machines so far). GRC used to do this but it was fixed weeks ago. No big deal, but it requires a bit of intervention when it happens. Perhaps an old fix has come undone.

thanks for the quick and clear answer. Just one doubt: why do you choose to use a factor of 10 and not a factor of 1?

thanks for the quick and clear answer. Just one doubt: why do you choose to use a factor of 10 and not a factor of 1?

We had some surveys and came to the agreement the 10:1 exchange ratio will decrease our inflation rate in the new wallet by 95%.
Since starting with 325,000,000 grc in the new world with an emission rate of 20 mil, to 5 mil, to 1 mil will keep inflation low - a pro for the investors.

In contrast to keeping a 1:1 distribution, our inflation rate would be 100% the first year at the current reward schedule rate.

We are also envisioning an increase in exchange value with 325mil minted, theoretically our value may rise above $1 million and spark more interest.  Obviously this is not backed with sound financial fundamentals, but the PR campaign may spark enough interest to fulfill it.  One view is that people tend to lose/forget about coins worth 10* less, until they rise in value then they want them back.  Its a measure to try to make GRC more rare over the long term.

Yes, thank you for the continuing development of gridcoin! I'm really excited about PoR.

Gridcoin is the coin with the most fair distribution and the onliest coin with a usefull mining. When it works as good and secure as bitcoin it deserves much more than a market cap of 1 Mill ...

[aigeezer]

Please upgrade as early as possible so we can avoid hard fork issues.

Running the upgrade shuts down any instances of cgminer running under command prompt (observed on two Win7 machines so far). GRC used to do this but it was fixed weeks ago. No big deal, but it requires a bit of intervention when it happens. Perhaps an old fix has come undone.

Thanks, looking for it.

I just noticed the Rebuild Blockchain shuts down other running instances of cgminer also. Normal startups do not though.

I am trying the rebuild because I got stuck at block 185476 - no sync, despite several restarts.

Edit: Update. The blockchain rebuild is chugging along - hours to go yet. However on another core i7 Win7 machine Task Manager reports that gridcoin-qt is taking 60% of CPU time. My wife had noticed that cursor movement had become erratic when GRC was running and returned to normal when she shut it off. No sync problem with it though. Something seems to be amiss with the upgraded version but I will not be able to look any deeper for half a day or so.

[traderman]

You will prob have to put in how many threads to use for cpu mining. That is why it is prob using 60% cpu time!

You will prob have to put in how many threads to use for cpu mining. That is why it is prob using 60% cpu time!

Please upgrade as early as possible so we can avoid hard fork issues.

Running the upgrade shuts down any instances of cgminer running under command prompt (observed on two Win7 machines so far). GRC used to do this but it was fixed weeks ago. No big deal, but it requires a bit of intervention when it happens. Perhaps an old fix has come undone.

Thanks, looking for it.

I just noticed the Rebuild Blockchain shuts down other running instances of cgminer also. Normal startups do not though.

I am trying the rebuild because I got stuck at block 185476 - no sync, despite several restarts.

Edit: Update. The blockchain rebuild is chugging along - hours to go yet. However on another core i7 Win7 machine Task Manager reports that gridcoin-qt is taking 60% of CPU time. My wife had noticed that cursor movement had become erratic when GRC was running and returned to normal when she shut it off. No sync problem with it though. Something seems to be amiss with the upgraded version but I will not be able to look any deeper for half a day or so.

I have tried rebuilding block chain several times - always get stuck at block 125,631 - wallet freezes and no matter how many times restart - it does nothing - please help
