is there any up to date documentation so I get to know what I am doing? 
I got cpu and gpu now running... but no idea whats going on. I cannot read 215 pages in this thread to get the knowledge...
PS. and does solo mining with gpu still make sense? since there is a pool now? Should I use the pool? Can I just switch by changing the 127.0.0.1 address to pool hostname? questions over questions ....

Hello,
I am following the mining instructions pdf on the front page, and in step 9 it says:
"Launch Gridcoin-qt. Click on the mining console menu. Click register mining module."
But there is no button or anything like that "register mining module" ?
Also I could not install Boinc 6.x and instead installed Boinc 7.x. Should not be a problem?

ok it seems the registering part is not necessary, cause I got a boinc utilization of 50 shown in gridcoin-qt in the down left corner. But the gridcoin mining module says "boinc utilization low". Is that normal? Is 50 a good value for i7 cpu?
And cgminer is only for GPU mining? So i would be finished now if I only want CPU mining for now? I will get coins?
It says "Average daily credit: 0" ? February 27, 2014, 08:41:33 PM
I tried out the new pool. Simple to use and reliable so far. Much better than the old poolmining option as you can see the block/balance details.
Thanks Rob for the great work.

those instructions are outdated and need to be replaced.

Tomorrow will open http://www.allcrypt.com/ let's see if this will help GRC to be more valuable, because c-cex problems took down the price very hard

I was browsing the boincstats site and I came across this page. They are accepting bitcoin donation for now, I think it would be cool if they also accepted gridcoin donations as well.
I started a thread with a suggestion on their official forum here: http://boincstats.com/en/forum/4/9117,1#130115

Gridcoin Pool Instructions:
- Note: The pool is in alpha so I recommend pointing an extra instance of cgminer at it
until we have it debugged.
- The main difference between a traditional pool and the gridcoin pool is this pool requires the gridcoin-qt
client to authenticate to the pool (in order to send boinc information over SSL) before you can mine.
Gridcoin QT will do this on every re-start and once every 30 minutes, and also when you push the "re-authenticate"
button. You can also go to mining | pools and push that button (going to be used for a future purpose when more pools
exist).
- This pool does not require a block to be found before you start accruing payments.
- Once every 30 minutes we will repopulate the leaderboard to show progress of all miners.
- Once per day, the pool does a currency sweep; it sends all of the payments earned to the individual accounts.
Withdrawals are done by the user.
- You can see your progress by going to Account and refresh the page.
- Modify CGMiner with the following settings to connect to the pool:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "http://pool.gridcoin.us/Getwork.aspx?user=yourweb_miner_usernamehere&pass=your_miner_password",
"user":"thisdoesnotmatterbutneedstobehere", "pass":"lol"
}
],
"api-listen" : true,
"api-port" : "4001",
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1",
"intensity" : "17",
...
- Add 3 lines to your gridcoin config:
pooluser=your_web_username **Note: This is the master web account in the pool, NOT the miner account name!
poolpassword=your_web_password
poolurl=http://pool.gridcoin.us
To test these settings, go into gridcoin to mining | Pools and click Authenticate, it should show success or fail.
Best of Luck Mining!

Questions:
1) How do we configure cgminer if we launch via .bat or command line...? Do we need all the api-listen, api-port, api-allow stuff, because I have no idea what flags to use from the command line for that.
2) Are web_miner_username and pooluser the same thing...? If not, Do I choose my own web_miner_username and pooluser name or are there specific ones I should be using...?
3) Is the miner_password the same as the web_password...? If not, do I choose my own passwords for each one or are there specific nes I should use...?
Thanks!
Hey TribalBob,
I found this in Cryptocointalk, this was posted from another user there:
I use an external cgminer (with cgwatcher in fact) and it is working correctly. I know when scrypt sleep start I will have to "play" with the integrated cgminer or find a way to make it sleep, but so far I used this.
I do not have a cgminer.conf, I have all this in the command line
Here is my command line without the new pool, no need to specify an API (this is for a R9 270 and a 6950)
--scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:9339 -u xxx -p xxx --auto-fan --gpu-memclock 1325,1375 --gpu-engine 840,1050 --thread-concurrency 8192,16000 -I 19,18 -g 1 -w 256,256 -d 0,1
Here is the command line for my PC using the new pool (this is for a 7950)
--scrypt -o http://pool.gridcoin...=falha&pass=xxx -u falha -p xxx --shaders 1024 --auto-fan --gpu-memclock 1375 --gpu-engine 1140 --thread-concurrency 8192 --api-listen true --api-port 4001 --api-allow W:127.0.0.1 -I 19 -g 1 -w 256
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the web_miner_username I think it's the name you give when you create your worker and pooluser it's the name you open account in the pool.
As for the Miner_password it's the password you select when creating your worker and the web_password it's the password you selected when you created account in the pool.
I have try this but without success, I think it's because I was using CGminer version 3.7.2, I had to edit cgm0 and cgm1 on roaming folder and it worked for me this way.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the response m8, will give this a try!

LOL Is anyone seeing this, 7 mil credits in 1 day? WOW
Not taking that big spike in account, credits have doubled in a matter of days, maybe 10 million will be broken next week. Would be a great milestone...

Hi Rob,
Could you get in touch with the C-CEX dev, wallet is still causing issues that need to be sorted out. Get him on skype @ C-CEX.com

Can you have twice the fun, i.e. mine Gridcoins with BOINC running and get both extra GRCs and Ripples via the community grid project?
