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 ?

It's the nature of digital currency, to prevent chargebacks. Once currency has left, it's gone for good. Did you send the coins to someone in your address book or mistype an address?

If you sent it to the wrong person, would they give it back?

this is important: i've send some of my coins to a wrong address: tell me there is a way to recover it!! Cry

Unfortunately, there's only one way that could happen: Track down the owner of the address (assuming it's a valid and owned address), beg them nicely to return your coins, and hope that they are honest enough to do it. Good luck! Cry

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Cry

thanks anyways for the reply..

Unless the person you sent it to sends it back, you are out of luck.

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..

Guys, I haven't been mining GRC and doing Boinc job for 3 days, and now my Boinc Avg Daily Credits jumped from 880 to 0!
Is it intended behavior?
Does it mean that I have to wait until I get 900-1000 credits again for client to show "100% Boinc Utilization"?

The main problem is you should receive types registered successfully; not a noveau error; you can try googling that problem and fixing wine first; I tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and it works & boots & listens for mining;

The Nvidia/Nouveau RandR error isn't a problem. This is a ?#?# political? ethical? problem between Nvidia devs and wine devs. Wine works and it wouldn't work better with Nouveau :p
Google it if you want but I can assure you that this "fixme error" has nothing to do with us Wink

Code:

[Yama@VaioLaptop wine]$ ls
BoincLinux.dll BoincLinux.lib GridcoinLinuxGUI.exe OpenCL.Net.dll QtGui4.dll SQLite.NET.dll debug2.txt grcrestarter_copy.exe libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll mingwm10.dll msvcr100d.dll regtlibv12.exe

I haven't mschrt20.ocx and mscomctl.ocx in the wine directory. Don't you think this is the source of this problem ?

Code:

[Yama@VaioLaptop wine]$ wine regsvr32 mschrt20.ocx

2) You are mining scrypt successfully on the box correct? So the problem is only restricted to building the wine client.

Since wine graphical apps require a display to run, I'm testing your wine client on my laptop. I can mine scrypt on my laptop and already did it.
This is the first objective : having the QT wine wallet to run on my laptop and make it communicate with boinc and cudaminer. We need this in order to "prove" that GRC can work on linux.

In the future, I want to run Gridcoin on my mining rig. My rig doesn't have a display. So I need the cli native linux wallet to work with Boinc or a wine cli wallet ...
This is the final objective : having the GRC client working headless. Usually, linux mining rigs don't have a display Wink

There is a workaround which is to use export DISPLAY=:0 :

Code:

[Yama@FedoraDesktop wine]$ wine gridcoin-qt.exe

The client seems to "launch" on my rig but since the rig doesn't have a display, I can't do anything on the client. If I earn GRC, I will have to connect a display in order to transfer them ... This is not good.

gridcoin.conf should be users/"computer name"/appdata/roaming/gridcoin

Quote from: Nthuse on January 30, 2014, 09:09:54 AM

Thanks. I'm not sure the cgminer.congf file is in the right place (program files(86)\gridcoin folder) and maybe wasn't having any effect. I have already got the intensity at 13 despite what the conf file says in my earlier post (which is why I think the cgminer.conf is doing nothing).

Have we reached the difficulty point where it is better to switch to GPU pool mining? And I assume that because I have to find a block to start participating in the pool (once pool mining=true is in gridcoin.conf) then I could still have a long wait?

Nthuse

Thanks but I have the grid coin.conf file in the location you mention. I was referring to the cgminer.conf (which im still unclear whether i need or not if im using it from within the client) OR are you saying that the parameters in the gridcoin.conf can include the cgminer.conf parameters if I am using cgminer from within the client?

We're up to 400 cpumining projects & 252,000 adjusted cpu daily credits (note: that # could be higher since we apply our leaderboard factor to it!)!

I'm #4 on the leaderboard; have been trying my hardest to get to #1 using 4 7970 GPU's devoted to boinc and mining + 8 core processor; 79842 daily credits; hard to move up to #3 since those top 3 users have a ton of daily credits coming in with higher leaderboard factors. LOL.

New Version Available:1.1.6.0/71/7.7.9

- Modified API to only verify Malaria 10% of the time
- Modified CPU Mining frequency to alleviate payment backlog

- Released on cryptocointalk last night to verify ; it appears this release resolves the CPU payment backlog and the Malaria problems! Yes!

I think Rob has to put up a block explorer that shows all the details. Otherwise there is no way market cap can be calculated.

Quote from: hamiltino on January 29, 2014, 12:37:23 AM

Trying to fill out the form i am stuck on this quetion:

Please provide a URL that shows the total number of coins in real time.
Required. For example, Feathercoin's total number of coins can be found at: http://ftc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/feathercoin/q/totalbc

Can anyone provide me the link.

Thanks.

Okay, I will put the qty of issued GRC on the block explorer, will that satisfy the requirement? Let me know before I code it.

Grid

OK, Ill put this on my list for next.

So, if I understand correctly, we're still unable to mine GRC on an headless linux rig Huh

Have you an ETA about that ?

6) Gridcoin will measure the processes individual thread utilization, memory footprint, authenticity and send that information back to same thread that rpcmining is running on. It will not provide a higher subsidy unless all of the requirements are met, and the mining module is registered to the machines registry. Boinc Points will be part of the base algorithm soon.

Is boinc point part of the algorithm already or do we have to wait for that too ?

By the way, GRC is a GREAT idea. Imagine a coin which yield profit and benefit the science at the same time. It would be wonderful

I can't wait to test it ! We're still lacking features but you job is VERY promising guys !

Hi Yamashita,

Please see page 69 of this thread:
https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1331-new-coin-launch-announcement-grc-gridcoin/page-70#entry33893

We have wine-alpha available; please help us test it out if you can & see if it will mine?

Thanks!

Grid

Hi,

Thank you for testing.
We will definitely package it all once it is working for easy install (side note: Ive tested the MSI in wine and it works, but its not stable enough for packaging yet).
The main problem is you should receive types registered successfully; not a noveau error; you can try googling that problem and fixing wine first; I tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and it works & boots & listens for mining;

2) You are mining scrypt successfully on the box correct? So the problem is only restricted to building the wine client.
