Topic: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread - page 200. (Read 597505 times)

rocket up

Will be possible if we all hold .... ours is the only coin with a utility. I know it seems a far stretch but look at vertcoin .. just algo change for pool resistance and its taken off .. so why not GRC ?

Maybe for that we need to hardfork it to scrypt n factor algo but for now i think utility is enough ... we will need asic resistance soon because asics have already started coming into the market.

10-15$ for 1GRC??

for now, 1GRC = 0,0536$.....

Agree too! I know that Rob has so much to do but blockexplorer really should be reliable. Hopefully we see linux mining soon!

And yea one more thing : Hold your coins till atleast $10-15 (yea I know it will be too tempting to sell before that especially for early miners but if something like Vertcoin can go up to $8 then we can surely do way better considering the fact we are helping society too and not just producing hot air like other coins ).

Best of luck guys and resist the urge to sell for as long as you can

Lets do this.

Things we need to get right before asking coincapmarket to put our coin there :

1) Linux client with mining capabilities

Reason : People are already starting to ask about it .. and its been about 3 months or more since the launch and yet no linux client ! This won't go down well with the majority of new comers who are to adopt GRC.

Solution : Either the dev can do it himself or hire someone to do it .. because it has been way too long (all other coins generally have all this sorted before launch)

2) More reliable block explorer

Reason : Sometimes the block explorer stalls and does not move ahead and sometimes even resets. This can result in the coin being removed from coincapmarket if its not reliable. It will result in GRC ending up to be a pump and dump coin to an extent (not entirely though ).

Solution : Maybe have 2 versions of the block explorer so that we can refer to either one when the other is down. Also a more comprehensive style block explorer is needed .. something based on ABE perhaps which can show details of the transactions and addresses when searched through it.

3) More marketing

Reason : If we get need to go big we possibly need to tell everybody about GRC .. even people we dont know.

Solution : Every member here should start sending messages to people about GRC (I'm sure many are) but we need more of it. Also  tag line on the site saying something like "Green, Efficient and Useful to Society" Coin. Another thing is a small writeup in a PDF explaining how this coin has the potential to transform the way cryptocurrency exists. This should be like how Vertcoin do it on their site (for the layman but effective and short). If you guys want I could do a write up on it.

NOTE : All this needs to be done on an urgent basis because coincapmarket people are not going to put more than 100 coins on their website apparently. There are about 88 already and he has promised to put up like 5 more .. so we need to get the above done quick and asap or we might miss the bus.

Let me know if I've missed out on anything guys.

Thanks

Great work!

Guys, Grid. What about Linux wallet? People are asking me about it but i don't know what to answer. At same time i know that c-cex using linux wallet, i'm right?

The number of new exchanges I've discovered this week is insane... It's good to see, though. I'm sure at least a couple of them will turn out to be nice and reliable, and it's something I've been kind of waiting to see. More competition in the Exchange world is bound to make things better for everyone in the long run.

Anyways, here's one more exchange I found where you can vote on new coins:

https://crycurex.com

And one more that is opening tomorrow that I'm looking forward to:

http://www.altswap.com/

I also bought a few shares for altswap here:

https://cryptostocks.com/securities/80

If you have a few mBTCs laying around, couldn't hurt to buy some shares. It looks like users as well as share holders will be able to vote on new coins, but I'm guessing that shareholder votes will be weighted a bit heavier. Overall, this looks like one of the more promising up and coming exchanges to me.

Looks like Gridcoin is starting to put down more and more power on Boinc!

Voted on that one too.

I just voted for Gridcoin on AllCrypt. You can keep pressing upvote until a window pops up telling you can't vote anymore.

I actually created that suggestion, but forgot to post here about it. I feel so proud of my minor contribution 

I was also coming by to mention the new exchange http://www.allcrypt.com/ that I just found, but it looks like someone beat me to it. Certainly would not hurt for all that support GRC to head that way and upvote GRC as much as possible. Looks like you're allowed 10 votes/day on this one, and they can all be spent on one coin (preferably GRC) if you choose. Vote here: http://www.allcrypt.com/beta/voting.php

AllCrypt has a nice, clean home page - hopefully their exchange will be just as nice.

Didn't know about SwissCEX, thanks - gave all votes I could to Gridcoin 

There's also one for www.SwissCEX.com as well - I upvoted Gridcoin

https://swisscex.uservoice.com/forums/238010-general/suggestions/5460629-gridcoin

Don't know if anybody has mentioned this new exchange somewhere in the thread before but maybe it's a chance for Gridcoin to hit another exchange?

Haven't had much experience with exchanging yet but I think it would definitely not harm Gridcoin to spread to one more exchange, especially since the next currency to be added to the exchange is vote-based with the ability to vote every 24h  I think the Gridcoin community has a fair chance of making it (at least from what I've seen so far )

Good Work Rob!!!

We finally got the underlying problem fixed; the coinbase transactions in some circumstances are complicated with all the cpuminers; we had to import all the transactions into a database and modify the block explorer to pull them in, now I am seeing the full coinbase transaction list per block. 
     Now, I need to re-sync the block explorer from the genesis before we can release the new block explorer with the stats on the page.

Hopefully by tonight the numbers will be on the page.
