is it normal that i pay this 3 beacon in cpumining?

I get this as well (3 beacons same amount). I assumed it was 3 CPUs running?

It's sending one beacon per project; we can't change it, it's required to prove the cpuminer is participating per project.

Thanks,
Grid

thx!

Hi everyone!

Thanks to everyone who helped me get setup with gpu mining..everything is running smoothly so far.
I'm now running 2x r9 280x and waiting for risers so I can install a third one...I've never been mining before so I'm quite surprised how much heat and noise these things make. Good thing it's winter

Hi Rob!
Regarding CPU Mining, I have several machines running and each one mines fine without a problem.
It takes time for the payouts to start, but I guess it is normal because the machine first needs to generate some BOINC credits.

The multiple beacon thing:
I have encountered it on several on my machines, they are all running only one project(so the beacons were sent to one address) and the maximum was 5 beacons sent in a row..separated by 26 minutes.
Also in Projects Console I have seen several times a "-3" error, which is the problem connecting to Berkley API.
So my guess would be that if there is -3 error when the client tries to send the beacon it fails and tries again in 26 minutes intervals until it succeeds.

Hope this helps.

Seems like things are really picking up and we're very close to start hitting exchanges! Looking forward to that!

Regards,
Andrew.

i am trying to be an early adopter. i have a few questions. first of all, i am mining 2 gpus solo with a 12 thread processor. my average daily credits is 2700 and i have 11 threads devoted to boinc. my boinc processing power won't go above 65 points. this has been 100 fairly consistently until i decided to take a few days off with my rig. i have not had syncing issues so long as i kept up with all the updates and addnodes. my questions are these:

1. what can cause this to stay at only 65?

2. can someone please explain the scrypt sleep? does this mean when my sleep is on that my hashing is doing nothing?

3. does closing the mining console have to hide command prompts? i have other things running in command prompt sometimes and these get hidden as well. it would be helpful if the mining console only hid process that it started.

thanks, and good work so far.

Scrypt sleep allows our network as a whole to be more efficient. Sleep causes your GPUs to sleep when your leaderboard sleep level is below the network sleep level.

Team, answer the rest.

I think what fxmulder is saying is that the client does not compile, if I am understanding him correctly?

Quote from: hamiltino on January 21, 2014, 11:46:50 AM

grid says the linux client works find but you just can't mine with linux is. (You will be able to within a week)

Yeah, i thought there was a linux client already released, turns out its just the source code atm.

traderman this is correct

hamiltino I always build from source, going down the rabbit hole it seems there's some core dependencies on qt components, not sure why they exist but they prevent compilation

Is this for an exchange? We have a coin-only client for Linux that builds; it just wont mine. It runs natively.
The one Im talking about for this weekend is a mining version that works on Linux & Mac and requires wine to run.

This was the post I meant to quote, I need to be able to build the wallet on 64 bit ubuntu without gui/qt support

Hi FxMulder,

I'm coming off the road from a trip and almost back at the office. I do have the GitHub modified Linux code to make the headless native daemon for Grid and it builds, but Im going to need some time to sync it to the repo. I'll do it asap and keep you informed when it is in. Latest should be Sat afternoon if not sooner.

Thanks,
Grid

New Version Available:
7.7.7/70/1.1.5.7: Upgrade from RPC: Yes

* In this version we correct the cpumining next payment amount and outstanding amount owed and resolve most of the bloated wallet issue.

Please upgrade ASAP as this version will only work correctly after 51% upgrade.

Maybe, resolving bloated wallets doesn't cope with every wallet in the same way..
Still looking for possible reasons.
Rob, may I ask you to comment on this, please?

i have ver. 1.1.5.5 GRC client, i was mining the whole day and found a block then when i woke up my miner say " not responding" and found out the client close by it self so i re open the client and its not synchronizing properly so what i did is uninstall the client, delete the gridcoin folder, delete the blocks and chainstate folder as well as the peers.dat files and reistall the grc client but still unlucky to synchronize it, so i have no choice but to restart my computer and when i re-run the client again it says "Warning Displayed transaction may not be correct! you may need to upgrade or node need to be upgrade" i don't know what to do now? any solution? Thanks Huh

How did it work out for you, airtreb? Could you recover?

The recent upgrades required an additional security check for cpumined blocks and could have broken older versions; after upgrading to 7.7 did you all recover?
All 5 of my machines recovered and went through that block.

Grid

couldn't recover, sadly. but thank you for the explanation.
I started with new wallets on each machine and will try to recover one by one.

P2P The Planet!

go into Boinc manager > tools > computing preferences > change the cpu time and thread % to 100% (both those settings are at the bottom)

Give that a shot.

Thx, fixed the problem

Quote from: Inrideo on January 20, 2014, 03:18:47 PM

if you have a wallet backup it's easy to get them back again.
Just delete the current wallet with the lost coins, and put the intact backup in place.
Then run gridcoin and it will rescan the wallet and adjust for all transactions that did and did not complete.
I've been having a bunch of transactions not complete and get them back this way.

Also, I had some that remained uncompleted for the better part of a day suddenly go through. I believe it had something to do with the timing of finding a new block. They sent right around then. So it might have taken them that long to notice they had a node to travel to and confirm on.

edit: typo fix. them/then

Quote from: groten on January 20, 2014, 01:52:51 PM

I transferred the last days some coins to my back-up wallet cos my wallet size is exploding (6Mb), all transactions succeeded, except the last one from yesterday.

Money is not in my wallet anymore and in the transactions historie I can see following,

19-1-2014 12:00 To FyxhBbEjhfWQznDHjrJWpCgcz8WuiXuq8E, debit -500, transaction fee -1,74, transaction ID 7b55bba6ad2c75a4c1211c7fc33ad891012579effe421093dfdd2d9152561d6b

However Status 0/unconfirmed.

After that transaction I got three mined received transactions, they are all confirmed en show up in my balance.

Upgraded just to 1.1.5.7-g71-prod/70

What can be wrong, are these coins lost??
