Are we sure the scrypt-sleep function is working properly...? My BOINC Daily Credits seems to actually be decreasing (I've gone from 1373 down to 1360 credits since block 62000)... If my gpu is spending time sleeping it should be working on BOINC projects and INCREASING my daily credits, shouldn't it...?

It's working fine on my rigs. How many GPU tasks have you done since then + what projects?
Sometimes there can be a delay of x hours or even a couple days before the BOINC project grants claimed credit for returned tasks. So I would wait a couple days to see.
Also if you go to the projects homepage you can check for your returned tasks that are waiting to receive credit.

Hope this helps,
Andrew.

Hi, thanks for the info! How can I check my completed GPU tasks...? I've been using BOINC for a year or two now and never learned how to do that, lol...

If you go to your account for a project and look for tasks, there is an info at the right - if it is/was GPU task, there should be either CUDA or ATI at the end.


Which Boinc projects are you running?

I am signed up to pretty much every project except for "DistrRTgen", "GPUGrid.net" and the two that require purchasing sensors in order to participate. I've thought about dropping some projects but I have been running these ones for about a couple of years now...

Can someone tell me exactly which projects have GPU tasks or tell me how I can figure out which ones have them myself...?

Here is a list of BOINC projects that shows which work with GPUs.

Scrypt sleep started @ block 62000 if I am not mistaken. So it is already activated.

My boinc stats also decreased quite much at first but now my points are climbing up very oddly Smiley

BOINC average credits or total utilization?
What CPU do you have?

Andrew.

avg credits. 4-core athlon x4 640. Using 2 cores to boinc if all 4 cores (or 3) are boincing then my hashrate decreases.

I'm not sure if that happened due to scrypt sleep feature. Sometimes, some returned BOINC tasks that you received credits for get rejected later by the project system and the credits are substracted.
That happens to me quite regularly..BOINC just does that.

I have two rigs mining and both are dropping from sync. Anyone has sync problems or is it just me?

edit: explorer is out of sync too

Thanks, zulzedd. I had forgotten about your earlier post - back then I had not yet tried pool mining so it went right over my head at the time.

Sounds like we have similar effects when pool mining. Did you notice whether the address your pool mining payouts went to was normal (presumably your default/leaderboard address)? Mine - only the one so far - showed as being sent to a receiving address I use for a different purpose, one that the mining pool presumably should not have been aware of. I'm now guessing it's a glitch in the wallet display - perhaps it shows "last referenced address" or some such thing.

I'll keep this machine in pool mode a while longer and see what develops.

About payments addreses. I created new address for escrowing, just for single use. After 2 days i started mining in pool and was receiving payments to "Default" address and to the new address in rotation.

So I have the wallet running in Wine, in server mode as far as I can tell. And it's seeing BOINC just fine. But cgminer doesn't see it.
Once that's out of the way I guess it's golden.

Ah ha. I found a wine version a directory deeper than what was listed in the readme file on github.
Now I have the wallet and boinc running. Not sure how to mine yet though.

Ready to test. I've got Lubuntu installed, AMD drivers installed, and cgminer up and running.
But where do I find the wine-qt version of gridcoin? I checked the location in the instructions located on the github repo and the wine.zip was a 404.

Emotions hinder productivity, thus I would flat-out excuse any rudeness in this pressure-some constellation. Any doubts about that? please consult the tone on Linux kernel mailinglist: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/23/75

This coin is still in its adolescence, i preferred to think of it as being nearly there, but various issues prevail. Time spent in preparation is more valuable than time in repentance. hence, this slow start could be seen as a gift. Rob articulated that the workload is burdensome. maybe there are parts in which all of us can give a helping hand?


Haha that link actually made me laugh .. was a fun read .. thanks for that .

Sure we can all help ... all for it.

Thanks Bob!  You are the man.  Hey do you have the link handy for the start up guide you created?
