That has happened to me. refresh the config and also restart the mining module. happens when it thinks the form isn't filled out for some reason.

you mean the gridcoin.conf right?

Im using these settings:

server=1
rpcuser=****
rpcpassword=******
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
poolmining=false
restartwallet=0

shall i add something more or delete something. I tried to change the config often and restart Gridcoin too often, no effect -.-

when I put the guiminer folder into the Windows(x86) then the guiminer scrypt doesnt appear. So i moved the guiminer folder to the App Data/roaming/gridcoin folder so the scypt appears at least

edit: running everything as administrator

New Version Available:

1.1.5.3/64: Upgrade from RPC : Yes

* This is a prerequisite to CPUMining. It adds some security features to the chain to enable the 3rd party API verification of CPUMiners work by GPU miners.
We currently still only pay .02grc per CPUMiner (as we do not want to break anyone). We need 51% to upgrade to this version before we can release CPUMining permanently

.
* Fixed the small monitor bug.
* Added support for local culture percent sign formatting (required in Germany for the leaderboard to work correctly).
* Fixed a leaderboard error.
* Added Scrypt Sleep/Leaderboard position to the mining console.

All the best,
Grid

Hey Guys, I'm new to mining, especially Gridcoin Mining. I tried a lot since 2 days but not able to start mining.. it often says there is no server to connect and stuff like that.

Could anybody tell me his cgminer or guiminer-scypt settings for a R9-290 ?

If I'm using the guiminer scrypt: I put the gridcoin.conf file in the programs(x86)/Gridcoin Folder AND in the roaming/gridcoin Folder. Furthermore i put the guiminer folder only in the roaming/gridcoin folder, is that correct?

The username and password which i have to type in the guiminer script(integrated in the gridcoin qt) is the same as in the gridcoin.conf , right?

Would be really appreciate if someone could help me..
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Alien,

It is Now - MSI v7.7.
Remember you can do an "upgrade" as long as you have 7.3 or higher.

Everyone else:

Please do another upgrade, this version had a bug that prevented it from sending beacons out; fixed.

Thanks,
Grid

Don't pay attention to that, it is not accurate figure. It's just some crap cgminer displays for some reason.

Quote from: Inrideo on January 14, 2014, 06:45:32 PM

My cgminer reports diffs over 200K. Is this different than the difficulty the block explorer is providing? Since that's around 3 it's quite a leap Cheesy

I'm used to cudaminers minimal info so this is new.

My understanding is that it relevant when solo mining since it is the "real share" difficulty/size for a block to be solved. It is not relevant when pool mining since it just displays a "pseudoshare" difficulty to visualize work being done towards the real share.

Rob, can you try cryptst again since we are now approaching diff. 5.

Yes, we actually got quite a few new supporters on the Please add gridcoin forum post in the last 3 days!

I built the Linux client last night, so at least we know they can run it.

Aysyr is going to reach out to bitjohn later today, he just pmed me.

I haven't heard anything back from coins-e Sad

, but I'm totally happy with the way things are going, we're gaining popularity regardless.

It's hard150 GRC if you're BOINC was 100% when you found the block. At least this is how I understand it.

if i write listminers rightnow it seem there is 32 miners in the pool. It's seem, also, that the total pyaments is 135.665121. I think that values is associated at the last block found by the pool. There is also a lot of other stats, for example:
"Block Hour" : 20,
"Wallet Hour" : 6,
"Current Hour" : 19
what does that means?? Devs, can you help us?

If i understood right you example, i can mine in pool and wait until i find a block. After that, i can stop mining in pool and for the next 4 days i can mine in solo and get in the worst case 150gridcoin (gained by the pool). Is it that right?

Yes you got it right, you can first find a block, then either continue in the pool forever and get a payment any time another pool miner finds a block, or you can quit poolmining and receive payments for the dynamic lookback window (like u said 4 days etc).

Block Hour and Wallet Hour are reserved for when we get higher difficulty and want to move to daily payments; then we can pay you inside your wallet hour once per day. Right now you receive 30+ payments per day.

Good luck,Grid

Please see answers inline:

thx for the reply...i've some more questions:

1)how can i find how much time i will get paymest from the pool after i find a block if i stop mining in the pool right after i find my first block? and, in that days, i've always get in total 150gridcoin if i use 100%boinc cpu and have >1000 boinc avg daily credits?

------------> Your first payment is within an hour of finding a block; then approx hourly thereafter; after you quit it is T+lookback_period, that is the 3rd # in listminers

2)this payments are every 24 hours? 12? or what?
--------------> Every time a pool miner finds a block you are paid

3)Grand Total Payments that i read at the botton of listminers is the total gridcoin given for the last block found?
---------------------------------> No, total gridcoin awarded for the pool mined block

4)when you say that "Right now you receive 30+ou ere payments per day"...what does it mean? that i receive 30gridcoin for everyday i stay in the pool after i found my first block? and...this 30grc are not the same that i ear from my shares in the pool??

--------------------------> You are paid once for each pool miner block found, so if there are 30 pool miners and they find 5 blocks per day you are paid 150 times per day

I'm sorry...so more questions: but diff is gonna get so high for me Cheesy

thx for the reply.

I have an other question...i'm sorry if you have just answered but i think that this point is very important.
if i mine in pool, i'll start to get payed when i'll find my first block, and, i'll keep get payed even if i quit mining for a few day after that.

But what happen if i find a block mining in pool and then keep mining in pool without find any other block, for, don't know, 15 o more days..? Will i keep have payouts? And if i reboot my pc, do i have to "restart from the beginning", and find a block to get payout again?

If diff keep increase miner with low harshare like me will have huge problem to find blocks... Sad

Thx again!

Anyways...is it possible that no one here is mining in pool and can write some stats?
