Interesting. Someone has started a #gridcoin channel on Freenode. They're the only one in it though.

It's hard to tell you exactly how many you'll get a day. The pool is based on an algorithm that's dynamically related to the difficulty. As the difficulty goes up, the longer you'll stay in the pool. For example, when difficulty was less than 1 you would stay in the pool for about 1-2 days without finding a block. If you do listminers in the debug console of your Gridcoin client, you'll see a list of all the miners in the pool. Under where it says TimeSpan: is the time in seconds I think that account has left in the pool until he finds another block. As for when you find a block, you still get paid the entire amount I'm pretty sure. So if you found a block and then stopped mining right after you found it for example, your first payment would by tiny, but for the next two days you'll get increasing payments each time the pool finds a block, then it'll peak and decrease down to 0 the next two days and you'll end up with 150 GRC if you're BOINC was 100% when you found the block. At least this is how I understand it.

No you wont get the entire block for yourself. How do you think it could work that way?

The found block goes for the entire pool and you get shares for that block. The share you will get depends on how many blocks you have found for the pool.

and it takes atleast 24 hours to get your max sharerate and maxinum payout to happen. And after you stop you will receive atleast for some time those payout but of course those payout are lowering all the time.


i apologize Sad

anyway.. i try to make some example.

1)i start to mine in pool
2)after, don't know, 10 hours, i find a block. How much is the reward of this block? 150?. Anyways.. since that, i've found only 1 block, so i will get a number of shares very small
3)after that (if i mine for at least 24 hours..in a row?) i will get payout for some times, even if i don't find any block.

Somebody who mine in pool, can tell us how many coins get at day?

150 kh/second, poolmining=true, boinc average daily = 7000+

I was trickling in a pretty regular amount daily but it just seems to have up and died on me.


can anyone explain how poolmining=true works?

maybe a good explanation can be added in the first post... the absence of pool can "reject" some new user with low hashrate...

thanks!

i think that my question is going to be more and more important with che diff that become higher and higher..

nobody?

maybe Rob can answer you nicely. I never use this pool, just tried for a short time.

This is a build in pool and quite different as other traditional pool.

you have to mine/solve a block to get shares, and you get paid over time.

The only benefit of pool mining of gridcoin is that in case the diff. increase fast, you can still get paid if you have shares before.

thx...i try to make an example to verify if i've understood well.

1)i start to mine in pool.
2)after 10hours i found a block, a block with the diff of the entire network
3)after that, i receive the entire block i've found and shares of the next block "the pool" will find?

4)if i stop mining, the next day i restart from 1)?

Yeah i'm looking forward to that! Maybe CryptOTC will become Gridcoins primary exchanger.

i really like the speed and (call me crazy) the layout/design of the site. Simple effective functionality.

CryptOTC isn't an exchange, I don't handle the transactions that take place unless you request escrow of me.  CryptOTC is an alternative to the google docs method.  You place offers and people can respond to your offers.  The trade that takes place is solely between you and the other party



What are your escrow fees?

I am working on an automated escrow system which would have 0% fees, until then I will have to escrow manually so I would request 1.5%

this suonds really good!

One weird thing I've found is that if I turn pooling off then the client crashes on launch every time. If I turn it on it runs well. Can't identify a reason yet.

we should start another round GRC give away.

We are giving away now in China now.

yes, GRC is ready to exploding. We are now close to diff. 5 and many exchanges will accept us in a short time if we break diff. 5.

One big miner just try 10M.

I just message the dev of http://CryptOTC.us to add Gridcoin and he did. The site is still in beta so everyone can go ahead and give it a shot and see how it works.

Do you know who the dev is?  These exchanges pop up and disappear with peoples money all the time.  I'd wait for either bter or cryptsy or possible coins-e.
Agreed. I don't trust to new exchanges. But... I will give it a chance with little quantities of cryptocoins.
*** EDIT ***
Oh... It's not exchange actually. It's like our Google Docs sheet - list of offers. Nice, i will try.
