The Gridcoin team is also climbing rapidly in the BOINC stats (separate from the WCG stats): http://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/team/detail/118094994

Lots of links to click on there if you're into stats.

There's even a little summary you could use in a sig or on your own site if you wanted: http://boincstats.com/signature/-1/team/118094994/sig.png

Strange, this link shows my Credits/day to be 5,625 and my average credits to be 3,925 but my gridcoin client only reports ~2,500 average credits...

LOL, I know we have a lot of rules as is (I promise to rewrite the original manual some-day) but to add another one Bob,
the client disregards any projects that havent been worked on for over 3 days-- that might be the discrepency. If you are working a project and you click update it will refresh the last task completed time, which could kick it back in - BTW only needed if you stop a project or abandon it somehow.

Thanks!

On the cryptocointalk thread it was stated that you'd have to pick one or the other.

No, it was stated you would have to make cognizent choice to enable cpu mining in the config file.
But you can actually be a gpu miner + cpu miner at the same time.
Aysyr suggested restricting cpu miners from the gpu pool so as to not disturb the leaderboard; then I said correct, since these are two separate pools cpu miners wont disturb the leaderboard

Thanks,
Grid

The BOINC stats will show your "lifetime" credits, including any time you were in BOINC but before you joined Gridcoin, plus any time spent on machines that earn BOINC credit but not Gridcoin credit (BOINC running but not Gridcoin, for instance). That kind of thing may account for the differences you're getting.

Our little team is definitely having an effect: "Accumulated more credit than % of all BOINC combined Teams 90.95140%"

Also "Highest World position ever 9,066 at 2014-01-11" (out of about 100,000 teams) but the recent credit trend stat is even better "BOINC World position based on RAC 563 out of 99,696".

The competition gets harder closer to the top, but we're off to a great start.

i'm mining gridcoin with boinc on but my name isn't there. Do i need to link it up or something?

Are you using "BAM!", the BOINC account manager? If not, that could explain it. It's handy (not perfect) if you have several BOINC projects active, as it lets you manage them all from one place rather than going to each project site separately. If you're only using one or two BOINC projects, especially the WCG, it may not be worth the bother.

Weird. I don't see myself there. But I definitely joined. I had to leave Ripple to do it.

It shows several members doing that, but I don't see you. Did you use the same user name? http://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/team/detail/118094994/memberMovement

If you Google "boinc someusername" you can usually get a person's stats, but I get no hits for "boinc inrideo".

What do the boinc average daily credits do?

Once scrypt_sleep is enabled, the average daily credits will determine the chance of your being able to hash the next block on the network, higher credits means a higher chance.

Is it normal that on the previous version of Gridcoin I was getting 4,000+ BOINC average daily credits but with the new version I am only getting about ~2,500 BOINC average daily credits...? Is there any way to increase this number...?

***EDIT***
Upon further inspection it seems my average daily credits has been decreased by the fact that I am signed up to pretty much every project on BOINC and my computer has recently been working on projects which simply do not reward as many credits as other projects...

Rob - If I were to drop all of my BOINC projects except for the ones listed in the Gridcoin projects console, would there be any benefit to that...?

Hi - Im on the road for the next 10 days, so Im a little detached, will still have releases.

I don't think there would be a benefit; the gpu side interfaces directly to boinc and the local Host to add avg_daily_credits while the 5 cpu projects work independently; forcing 3rd party gpus to verify the credits by username (a different approach; not because it is better but because we coded it a few months back so lets test it and compare it to our gpu method, and keep the best algo); anyway financially you can think of them as two separate systems.

Rob H.

That's cool with me, I like both systems and hope we will be able to use both

Ok, I don't get it. Any whitepaper on BOINC mining? How can I verify that somebody who generated block really had his power utilized by BOINC?

Check out the cobblestones per official boinc project and how they generate avg_daily_credits.
We compile the verifiable 3rd party credits (checked through one of the 60 project apis) into the boinchash into the chain.
