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

what exactly is RAC? where can I find it

What is the RAC on your projects? can you list them?

When you signup with a boinc project through the boinc software use that particular email(same email for all project that you sign up with), that is all, you don't have to do anything else. The gridcoin wallet software can detect automatically how much credits you have for each project based on the email.

I am assuming you are running the POR GRC?
You have to edit your gridcoinresearch.conf in appdata/roaming/gridcoinresearch

email="your boinc email"
rpcport=9334
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
addnode=node.gridcoin.us

I downloaded the wallet but it is not doing the sync... I have to do some things before?

wallet is synced now...thanks

in the gridcoinresearch.conf my email is now listed.
I dont really understand how to add my projects in the gridcoinresearch.conf
what should I add to add malariacontrol.net

thx

does this take some time?
"All CPU Projects exhaustetd" is written.... Do I have to wait or do I have to do something.  Thx

another question: in boinc there is only 3 of 4 cards are calculte, 4th card just staying without task. Is it possible to make all 4 cards working? And what i should do that task comes more difficult? I think this is no good for card when gpu load jumping from 0 to 100 percent several times in one minute http://joxi.ru/XYmE85kRhNK4r6 Thanks

[traderman]

Maybe try different drivers, I think some Boinc projects do this kind of thing.

I'm on 3.1.6.6, but still:

The developer for Gridcoin does not post on Bitcointalk, you will have to make an acc here:

even though I don't like to register to a new site for every coin I try, I think I will because I'm in a loop: reset blockchain, download, works for some hours, blocks, back to step 1.

Ok. I definitely have some problems with CPIDs and i need help. It's more then 24h, from when i achieved "more than 100 RAC" for project rosetta@home. And i have error "CPID invalid". Listing from listitem cpids command for rosetta@home:

Code:

"Project" : "rosetta@home",
"CPID" : "ad83ffc99415e58412fb7fbaaf6bcd4f",
"CPIDhash" : "67874d55212a9c4bef9e54716ccfb47e",

"Errors" : "CPID invalid. Check E-mail address."

CPID shown in console, ad83ffc99415e58412fb7fbaaf6bcd4f, is NOT my. If i login in rosetta@home page or any other of my projects i can see this CPID: 3ef202c5eae1c741f20249cf8c3f4b6e.

Screenshot (russian language, but everything is clear):



I tried command execute restcpids for couple of times.

Thank you for any help!

cpid`s in wallet and in your project profile are different, no need to worry. I have looked at my gridcoinresearch.conf and my values written without quotes

How did you make your cards work? I have the problem that my GPUs don't work for boinc. I'm using them for mining, as before, but I'd really like to switch one or two of them to useful computations. I've asked here and there, read a lot, and tested everything I've found.

[traderman]

What kind of gpu and what kind of boinc projects?

How traderman said, this is very important what kind of team are you chose, because some teams dont support ati\nvidia cards

while choosing a project, I'm looking if it has ati's logo... Now I'm contributing CPUs only. The team, well, I change between 2 of them only: gridcoin or researchsupportcoin... now I see new version of GRC wallet, that has problems syncing, so I'm in RSC team again. version 3.1.6.8 - or there's a newer one?
RSC is better because it's sure that you receive your coins. And GRC's PoR is not so sure, because it's not very clear when you get the coins, how much of them, and you loose what you've earned at each wallet upgrade.

[traderman]

Right now there is some fork issues that need to be fixed, so till we fix that you should stay away for now!

I still have "all CPU projects exhausted" ... since 3 days. BOINC is running and made a lot of work... RAC should be no problem

This is my config:

cpumining=true
email= *email*
UpdatingLeaderboard=false


Any ideas...sorry I´m a "semi noob"   ;-)

A clear statement! Finally
I hope that you fix it.

FRIENDLY TIP!!!!

One of my rigs was getting many interest payments , but not many POR blocks and I could not figure out what the problem was. It turns out that I had Boinc installed in a different directory than the the default Boinc install dir. So if your Boinc is installed in a non-default dir you have to specify this in your gridcoinresearch.conf file.

boincappdir="where you installed Boinc"
boincdatadir="where the Boinc data fold is located"

After I made the change I started getting POR blocks. I think what is happening is that if the GRC wallet can't see your stats you are classified as an "INVESTOR" and you are only awarded the interest! So once you specify to the wallet where your Boinc data is, the wallet can then see your work and give you appropriate credit for the POR block!

What to put in boincappdir and boincdatadir if the machines running boinc are NOT the laptop where the wallet is?

[traderman]

Alicea, I am not the developer of Gridcoin! Rob is!

You technically don't need those lines, all you need is the email="your boinc email", but one of of my rigs once i added the boincappdir and boincdatadir that particular wallet started getting POR blocks, maybe it was coincidence.

[pallas]

is it boincdatadir or boincdatafolder?

[traderman]

boincdatadir

is it boincdatadir or boincdatafolder?
