I've been trying CPU mining as well as GPU mining. For GPU mining, I have an NVIDIA card (GT 650M), and even though I've been using Cudaminer, the hash rate is low enough that I haven't hit any blocks yet. And for CPU mining, it's now become clear to me that, since my wallet is empty, a beacon isn't being sent out. Could anyone send me a few bitcoins to get started (so beacons can go out as I CPU mine)? My address:

Thank you.

Hi guys, i've got a problem... since i wanted to try to cpumine i've created a new wallet (my old one was encrypted) and i transfered all my gridcoins to the new one. Problem is: i've got 0 confirm since this morning... what is happening?
January 26, 2014, 01:22:28 PM
every time i launch gridcoin-qt.exe, it close any prompt i have already open. How can i stop it? If i don't wrong, there is a string to add to .conf...isn'it?

I think "CPU mining" need to be renamed to "Boinc Mining". People just get confused. I think we need a diagram or maybe I will make a video explaining what the difference between the 2 is.
1) You will receive nothing from pooled mining until you have found your first block. You must first find a block with pooled mining turned on in order to be enrolled into the mining pool.
2) CPUMining requires that beacon payments be sent to the network once or twice per day for each of the projects in the projects panel that you are enrolled in. In order to cpu mine you must have enough to pay the first beacon(s).
***EDIT***
Also make sure that you are cpu mining correctly as per the guide linked earlier in this thread. CPU mining is done differently with this coin than other coins.
I have had intermittent success with GPU mining, so I decided to give CPU mining a go this time. It has been disenchanting. I am about ready to just stick with BOINC and mine a different coin. Everything I seem to follow on these threads lead to dead ends. I have no idea if things are setup correctly. Running v1.1.5.7-g71-prod, with 24 thread system. BOINC at 100%. CPU pool mining turned on. It has been 24 hours and nothing. Anything wrong with my config? And what is this Beacon payment i keep hearing about?

asdlolciterquit,
I think sleep should mean your cgminer is in sleep mode and the beacon only sends once or twice a day IIRC. But yes, if your beacon doesn't send anything for a day then I would assume that you're not getting the cpumining credits.

thx!
now stasus is WORK, but no beacon was send
how can i fix it?? it been 10 hours without any beacon now..
Do you have any GRC in your wallet? You need some so you can send the beacon. That was my problem.
i have more than 2k...until yesterday it worked fine without any problem..
edit: fyi, i see me in listcpuminers

nthuse,
I don't think there was ever a cpupoolmining option so taking that shouldn't have done anything. Payments for CPU mining isn't constant so I you only see payments during certain times of the day. So I wouldn't worry about it unless you go 24 hours without getting a payment.

Ah OK. I must have picked that up from one of the hundreds of posts I've read and misunderstood. Thanks for clearing it up. I'll sit tight and see what happens. thanks.

what does leaderboard position means?
ok, found it!
but what does it means: STATUS sleep?
that's why i don't send any beacon in hours of cpumining?
edit: if gridcoin doesn't send any beacon, it means that i'm not cpumining?
January 25, 2014, 01:21:22 PM
aysyr,
Thanks for the reply. I have cpumining=true, it was cpupoolmining=true that I removed and then things seemed to stop. In my earlier post I had already stripped it out and then forgot to remove it form the actual file (confusing I know) when I started mining following receipt of coins from you and derm. So this is what I have in my gridcoin.conf file now:
server=1
rpcuser=gridcoinrpc
rpcpassword=GG6XHgjJYmzaSxAeRTeRRhC1g3Smgk1QDh
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
cpumining=true
UpdatingLeaderboard=false
UpdatedLeaderboard=25/01/2014 16:22:27
Project1=107958
Project3=491999
Project5=1012899
boincappfolder=C:\Program Files\Boinc\
Should this work?
Your advice is much appreciated.

January 25, 2014, 11:51:10 AM
I think we need to distinguish between only Boinc mining and pool mining. Otherwise people get very confused.
Nthuse,
You have to have cpumining=true in your gridcoin.conf at all times in order to get anything for CPU mining. There is no solo/pool mining for CPU (which is what I assume you're doing since you followed AndrewP's tutorial). Solo and pool mining is only if you're mining using cgminer or another "mining" software - otherwise known as mining with your GPU. So go ahead and add cpumining=true again and restart your client
@ derm and aysyr : thank you for the coins! they seem to have at least partially solved my mining issue. Once I had a positive GRC balance in my wallet several beacons were sent after about 40 mins. I had my gridcoin.conf file including cpupoolmining=true and the client sent out 6 beacons. Is this expected? I received 7 payments over the next 6-7 hours of between 8 to 34 GRC. Does that sound about right?
So then to test solo mining I removed cpupoolmining=true from the conf file and after running for 8 hours I've yet to receive anything. Does having started out cpupool mining prevent me from then solo mining? With the following stats: Boinc proc power: 67, thread count: 2 & Avg Daily Credits: 346, what can I reckon to wait for a payout (roughly)? Or have I missed something again?
AndrewP: it's easy to omit what seems obvious in a tutorial, besides I leaned a lot about the rest of the mechanics of Gridcoin while trying to figure out my specific problem.
Thanks.

It may be new, but I think it is built well. I think it's great anyways.
How old is this CCEX exchange anyway? They only started tweeting 5 days ago.
I wouldn't get too pumped about being on an exchange that's younger than the coin.
