Grin Mining (Cuckoo Cycle)

[staking]

Are you mining Grin on testnet and soon on mainnet?

The Grin mainnet will launch on January 15th 2019.

"Meet Grin - the private & lightweight mimblewimble blockchain"

What's Grin?
Electronic transactions for all. Without censorship or restrictions.
Grin empowers anyone to transact or save modern money without the fear of external control or oppression. Grin is designed for the decades to come, not just tomorrow. Grin wants to be usable by everyone, regardless of borders, culture, skills or access.

Private
Grin has no amounts and no addresses. Transactions can be trivially aggregated. To hide where a newly created transaction comes from, it gets relayed privately (a "random walk") among peers before it is publicly announced.

Scalable
MimbleWimble leverages cryptography to allow most of the past transaction data to be removed. This guarantees Grin won't crumble under its own weight in the long term.

Open
Grin is developed openly, by developers distributed all over the world. It's not controlled by any company, foundation or individual. The coin distribution is designed to be as fair (but not gratis) as is known to be possible.

Grin's Proof-of-Work
This document is meant to outline, at a level suitable for someone without prior knowledge, the algorithms and processes currently involved in Grin's Proof-of-Work system. We'll start with a general overview of cycles in a graph and the Cuckoo Cycle algorithm which forms the basis of Grin's proof-of-work. We'll then move on to Grin-specific details, which will outline the other systems that combine with Cuckoo Cycle to form the entirety of mining in Grin.

Please note that Grin is currently under active development, and any and all of this is subject to (and will) change before a general release.

I hope that Vitalik Buterin’s idea of building a supercomputer and running Ethereum 2.0 will kill the mining.

I think mining is one of the major flaws in modern cryptocurrency

Yes I have been following Grin forums and channels and it 's really convincing on why not giving a try mining your coin.I find grin has a good use cases and great teams. I think I am giving a grin 4 stars out of 5 at the moment and we'll see after the mainnet.

transactions which are quite unique but good to have. Besides Grin provide services that are quite practical and are also safer to use for transactions as well as storage. This is a form of modern mining system is good and will be very useful to use.

What are your CPU hashrates like? I'm seeing 0.3 g/s on some Ivy Bridge procs using Cuckatoo.

Mining GRIN and stacking LUDOS (after ICO) and Zil are my only plays for 2019. Will GRIN become unmineable soon?

[Bitmesh Official]

GRIN's mainnet is expected to be launched around January 15, 2019(UTC). BitMesh will open GRIN deposit and withdrawal as soon as GRIN's mainnet becomes online. https://bitmesh.com/exchange?market=btc_grin#/

put together a video guide on how to mine grin on windows + linux -- hope it helps

Having an extremely tough genesis block - fair mining or not?  Personally yes, since it prevents people from gaming the blockchain in the beginning and is generally pretty fair for everyone, despite only finding the first block few hours later.

Im attempting to mine Grincoin using gringold miner and f2pool.  When I start the miner it recognized the 7 1070 8gb gpus.  When it gets to the 5th, 6th and 7th, card I get a Video Memory Error.  What do I need to do to get all 7 cards mining?

Make your virtual memory 56 gigabytes.

Thank you very much.  That did it.

What is the improvement compared to Monero or Dash ?

I'm glad it worked for you. Miner needs like 7-8 gb virtual memory per card, maybe it can do it with lower, but i'm to lazy to test it .

Only getting about 1 graph per second lol. Not enough video cards for me to mine.

I have read the GPU mining guide and yes, it really requires around that size to be able to mine grin.

We just published a Step by Step guide on how to mine Grin as we have done so ourselves here. Thought would be good to share, but Windows only for now

Nice, already mining.

But no windows wallet, just for linux and OSX? 

[coingecko]

Yeah what we ended up doing is setting up a VM using Virtualbox for Linux. Download the wallet there.
We plan to write follow up guide on this for Windows users.
