This project is reserved for skills IT guys, this is very difficult to setpu miner for regular guys like me

This is one of the easiest coins I have ever seen to mine. At least on Windows, haven't tried Linux yet.

Excuse my noobishness on the subject but... isn't Cuckoo Cycle PoW ASIC mineable?
If not, what makes it different from ASIC mineable Cuckoo algos?
Would be a shame if after all this talks/threads about mining with GPUs and CPUs on day 1 resulted in total pounding of the network by ASICs.

It's using a modified Cuckoo Cycle algorithm called Cuckaroo which will be tweaked as necessary to remain ASIC-resistant. However, it's planned to phase in support for ASICs, with the goal of having an algorithm that's as easy for ASICs as possible so that everyone can buy ASICs, and nobody has an advantage.

What are the requirements in Afterburner for 1070 cards? Thanks

That's quite an interesting take.
So basically it's asic resistant at the beginning but plans to open up to asics in the future - if and when asics become mainstream.

You just described most of the mining algos of today. Except this time around it's disguised in a statement of intention!

Hi guys, I have a question .
What does  mining on testnet means exactly? it means that the coins that i mine now till january 15th doesn't have any value and i cannot trade them on exchange? thanks !

Right, the testnet ("floonet") is just to test that you have everything ready for Jan 15. The floonet coins are worthless.

Support rx580 4gb?

[jimlite]

Ok I can't figure out payments from pools. It says you can use an online wallet. So is there a windows wallet that is obviously online/connected or is there a web wallet only that is to be used?
Someone please clarify this and provide a link to the "wallet"
Thanks

I'm wondering if Grin mining will be integrated into the upcoming Coinmine One shortly after launch.

Obviously they are not worth anything, as in any other coin in the testnet!

Support rx580 4gb?

Currently only NVidia cards are supported but they are already working on AMD, but surely you will not make it with only 4Gb .... it will take at least 5.5Gb for the moment.

hi, the project looks good.

quick question: if Grin is not SoV, what about the accounting?
if Grin will be used in business, i think needs some transaction statements for the financial reports

[Buzhou]

New algo? Interesting, in 3 days we'll know how this will work, without premine or anything else.

[ans34]

What about mining in windows?

[addicto]

Launch date of this coming is coming near all community is looking excited to start mining this when this blockchain will go live. It is good to see interested of the community is increasing so this is good sign and I hope it will make new history so let's see what future will bring.

[Hueristic]

And no DEV Tax like Beams 20%, SWEET!

What about mining in windows?

For Windows use a GrinGoldMiner.
The first time after starting the configuration (creation of the configuration file) - specify the pool, login and password. After that, use the miner. In the latest version, the problem for AMD graphics cards is solved - now they are easily connected to the pool and start mining.
For example, RX480 0.46gps

Dont work rtx 2080 on windows 10 , is incredible...

Don't you think infinite supply will play role of pressure element on he price of coin ? There is lot of hype before the launch of this coin what is scheduled in two days now. I hope they will be much more careful with security and safety as first impression will be the last. We saw what happens with Beam with vulnerability. These are the two coins succeeded to get attention of everyone in very short time.

Phew I got the wallet set up but haven't gotten up and mining yet. I'm hoping to mine on or around the 15th! The more I read about beam and from the more I can't stand beam and I love grin!

[lerich]

the grin-miner 0.5.2 throws me off from the console if I set more than 2cores (it looks like some kind of visual glitch, but program stops after that) I run Arch on a X5660 (6C12T) and 16G of RAM, anyone had such issue?
