Since when is this project closed-source? Wasn't it open when it started? 

Hi Dubfx,

the grs-sgminer is open source. In fact you can compile it directly from github. Its a fork of the original sgminer. Srcxxx is a directx and OpenGL expert. He has managed to improve the groestl and myriad-groestl (actually also others like x11, x13 and x15) kernels. There are others (will not mention their names) that have improved it also. All of them are keeping the kernels internally in order to get profit for themselves.

Srcxxx could also keep it for himself but decided to share his improved kernels in grs-sgminer.
Srcxxx removed the kernels in the open source and replaced it with the precompiled bin files (which are closed source). We have inspected these precompiled files to any harmfull code and all was good. All he wants is profit for his users and for himself (instead keeping it internally).
Fact is that his pool gives more coins/profit. It is his decision if he wants to release the whole code or not, we can not force him to make it all open source.

Feel free to ask any other concerns or give me a PM if you have any urgent questions.

I found in the logs that the error was something like: optimised kernel invoked. gruve_p has inspected the source code (because it is closed source) and there were no suspicious keylogger or anything else in it. It is a false positive.

Thanks for your concerns though, if we would find any suspicious code inside it then we would never post it here because it would harm our users.


Pretty good for a self-confessed "noob". If I didn't know better, I'd say I was impressed.


Welcome troll!



I inspected the source code and there is no malicious code inside, but then you know better right?

Well you don't know better, read again. Gruve_p inspected the code not me (the noob). And we is the whole groestlcoin team (and not me alone lol i wish)

Hi guys!

If you have an AMD videocard (especially R9 290 or R9 280X), please join the beta testing of GRS multipool at http://boostpool.com/
The official opening is on 22 September and currently the UI / statistics on website really sucks.
But payouts and mining part work just fine. Expect at least 50% more GRS per day (last few days it was about 400% more GRS, thanks to DigiByte).

You'll need grs-sgminer 1.4 to connect to boostpool.

Details here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anngroestlmyriadgroestl-pool-closed-652849 and here: http://boostpool.com/

The payout for a single AMD R9 290 mining on multipool yesterday was 4800 GRS!

Thanks
srcxxx

I am mining there and... WOW, I have like 9/10 times more profit than mining direct GRS.

All i did was:
Downloaded windows build
Extracted windows build
Create bat file with:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 50
Timeout 45
sgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://boostpool.com:3333 -u YOUR_GRS_OR_BTC_WALLET -p ANYTHING -I 20 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 150 --gpu-fan 100

i got a strange error and sgminer closed. I started the miner again and BOOM working.

If i can do this a noob, then everybody can!
You dont have to set a kernel. It does not matter which driver you use, it will compile automatically the best setting for you through its special kernel. I love the on the fly switch within grs-sgminer (it can switch between groestl based algo's without restarting the miner).

Excellent job done Srcxxx! I can recommend all to test www.boostpool.com while it is in beta and has no exchange fee until 22 September.

That strange error was probably the keystroke logger install.  Cheesy

Well, I am loyal to UNO; but I've dropped in 'cause I know a whole bunch of coiners here.

The set-up on Page One? with the list of things achieved, and the names of the different community members? Really good idea.

Gonna try to understand the mining function.

Good luck.

Hi dev.

There is no reason, meaning or purpose for merchants and buyers, investing in coin with outdated technology.

Why mass adoption of torchlight when we have electric bulb. Makes no sense. BUT,... I say but if you can implement new advanced tech, that will make perfect sense.

Please consider again option of implementing new advanced tech. There is always time to change your mind.

have a great day

hello,
i am not too sure if you understand the concept of this coin?
you seem to have a problem with outdated technology - even when groestlcoin is catering to users with such technology from day one... and this is on purpose.
what exactly is your point?
are there not enough other coins around who chose a different path and already implement new advanced tech in their own way?
i personally like it exactly how they do it and i don't see the point why you continue to try change the dev's mind.
Cheesy

maybe you should make your own groestl-algo-based coin instead?

remember it is opensource and you are free to remix what you don't like anytime.

have a great day Wink


Good point, there are many other coins with new tech.

they are like Linux Distro beta version with New technologies & test
& TLS version with stable & More adopted technologies by Business.
GroestCoin is one of long term investment just like Bitcoin Cool.
