I have a problem. A power failure caused my node to shutdown. If I start it up again it prints this on the screen

I failed to find one of the right cookies. Found 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Also, grin --help does not help that much. What should I do?

[bbc.reporter]

A reinstall? Do you mean to delete everything in the ~./grin folder? I reckon deleting only the chain_data folder would be enough. However, there has to be another practical way without deleting anything.

Believe you need to delete your chain data and resync.  Don't remember the exact structure of the node folders, and too lazy to log into my remote node atm...

I'm also on Grinmint, what's the general consensus? Good pool or not? What are most others using?

Seems fine for me as far as pool hash aligning w/ miner hash.  Minus a 2-3% reject/stale rate, which seems high, but apparently is caused by their increased min diff.

With it being such a new coin it shouldn't take too long and Mimble Wimble doesn't track as much right? So it should be a quick enough process, this is the messier part of first releases and being a frontier user.

Just took a couple minutes to fully sync for me a few days ago.  I believe they've already trimmed first 5K blocks now too.

Hi All ...

Who is the person responsible for your Grin Pool?

Please contact me directly on Skype or Discord. If anyone knows who they are, or who is responsible for it, please forward this message that I would personally like to chat.

Thanks.

what stable AMD RX 4xx & 5xx GPU W10 miner are you using to mine Grin?

what stable AMD RX 4xx & 5xx GPU W10 miner are you using to mine Grin?

Don't stick to WIN10, be flexible, all you really need is a USB key:
https://github.com/mcarloai/minerbabe-grin-miner

Other than that, GrinPro  (AMD supported) if you must be on windows:
https://grinpro.io

If you had NVDIA, check  option 1. Option 2, Bminer

I think the article "Mimblewimble explained like you’re 12" helps

  Minerbabe dev fee: 3% for Grin  
will give this "minerbabe-grin-mine" a try, but the fee is very high  
I have only AMD cards, unfortunately...

Yes it's high unfortunately. Totally worth it a week ago mining c31. Keeping a close eye.
Half of the fee goes Minerbabe Dev's, and the other half to Mimblewimble Dev's.

anybody tried to mine to a kucoin adress directly allready?

these look like this: https://depositgrin.kucoin.com/deposit/5ad512873f705c1299ca10bb

again, someone tried to use the kucoin adress for mining on a mining pool and does it work?
As there is no windows wallet for many users/miners this would be an option in case it works.....

Kucoin wallet is a web listener one. Easy and straightforward. Didn't' see any restrictions. Shouldn't be a problem.
Tried the web listening wallet on Hotbit. No problems there. Email deposit/withdraw on TradeOgre. Not a problem there either.
