No problem, I understand that making gridcoin working with QT is a step before havint it work headless.

1) Regardless of whether noveau "should" work with wine, when you do a "wine regsvr32 dllname.dll" you should receive "types registered successfully", not a noveau error.  Figure out the answer to that and we can move past the first regsvr command in the instructions I posted.
What I wanted to say is that I have this nouveau error with everything in wine. It's like wine telling "please, use nouveau instead of nvidia, I don't like nvidia even if it works".
Not a problem since every program who should work in wine, work even with this error.

What I don't understand is this :
dll registering works but not ocx registering ...

Code:
[Yama@VaioLaptop wine]$ wine regsvr32 msvbvm60.dll
err:winediag:xrandr12_init_modes Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.

I think your howto lacks something  Grin

edit :
Okay, problem found. .ocx files were not in the zip.

Now, ocx registering works :

edit2 : Could it be a problem of architecture ?
I'm using a 64bit cudaminer while your wine exe might be 32bit ...



Hi Yama,

Great work, you are almost there.  I don't think architecture. 
I believe the syncing issue will go away within 20 mins (that is when we restart net daemon).

I don't see anything wrong with your gridcoin.conf file.
Try restarting QT and doing a
telnet localhost 9332

See if you actually connect (you should get a blank screen but no error).
If you can connect that way solo mining should work.

So your boinc credits are showing up in Linux?

You sure you don't have another daemon listening on 9332 ?  Maybe shut off all other daemons first, or change rpc port.

One other thing. The grid picture on the main site is very large. It is 2 megs +. That needs to be reduced big time.

Can grid please get rid of the: Gridcoin introduction - Newsflash video link here. It makes gridcoin seem like a scamcoin. Cry

Thanks.



                                                                                               

* Alright, I removed this video since no one likes it! Smiley
* I discovered, that somehow, magically, all the green text regarding Boinc & Gridcoin disappeared - All the source code is there, but it is really strange, one of the jquery filenames have been renamed; Anyway I did put it back!

I'v asked this before but nobody answered  Undecided
There is no mandatory fee hardcoded in gridcoin wallet, so this can cause a microtransaction flood in the blockchain ?
Yes I replied to that about 10 pages back, there is a microdust filter that was added to litecoin and we added the same one.

Fees are .02grc as soon as few transactions exist in a block.

I was diagnosed with brain parasite
Is it possible to mine Gridcoin in Linux?

Working on that now; Linux only works as a coin client; but I decided to take over the project;  I don't have an eta to finishing the boinchash-security deal yet; its really complicated.

Grid


I know you don't have ETA, but any estimate?
I converted my rig to Linux, and overall I think it was a good move.
However I really miss GRC mining....

It's a beauty.

I'm assuming we only get one vote. If so, I'll wait a bit longer just in case someone animates the electrons in their orbits or adds musical spheres or double helices or whatever. That one is definitely my fave so far.

Rob,

Do you purge the leaderbord in some way?

Reason I ask is that I still see my old address G7UD.. in the leaderbord, since it was encrypted I changed to a new address 6 days ago and since that time it has not been active anymore, all project are linked to the new address since the 24th.

Someone with a lot of credits can exploit that..
Yes, 1) With the explosive growth lately, we look back 20 days (instead of 30), so for one, old nodes fall off in 20 days.

2) We purge any entries where a single host switches wallets within that period and Mines a block.
Your entry will purge when your boinc-host-id mines a new block.

Grid

Good to know, but how about cpu mining? I had to transfer some coins today from the old wallet so I took the time to do a little abuse test.

For what I see, I can conclude that you made it solid enough, beacons are sent but "CPU daily avg credits" shows -1 if I try to use my existing points for the other wallet, compliments, good work ;-)
