Hi,
I write the blog for bitcoin.de. About a month ago I mentioned gridcoin and received great interest. Does some dev want to give me a short interview via pm about inspiration, technical problems and actual progess?
I'd be glad to do the article, please send me an e-mail at [email protected] or PM me and we'll get started.I write the blog for bitcoin.de.

I guess Gridcoin himself would be the only person qualified for that one. Or maybe Aysyr.

Dalekmun,
To find out approx. how long it'll take you to find a block do this. First look at either explorer.gridcoin.us or type getmininginfo in your Debug console to get the total network hashrate. Currently it's 28,000 kh/s (or 28 mh/s). Then, divide your hashrate by the network hashrate and just convert it to a fraction that's 1/x
Let's say your hashrate is 300kh/s. So 300/28,000 = 1/93.3 so you'll find approx 1 block out of ever 94. Each block is 2.5 min so 94 * 2.5 = 235 min = 3 hour 55 min.

Wait, it said my other 2 shares (Or whatever they're called) where stale. Anything I can do about this? http://sdrv.ms/1byJLQK
I'm guessing it means I solved the block, but someone beat me to it, or my network connection was too slow.

Regarding pool mining Alien, yes you can pool mine with that setting and it is for GPU only use; no cpu calculations at all. There is a thread Aysyr started on cryptocointalk with a lot of poolmining posts.
Did you say the gpu/cpu part backwards?
No-- its for GPU users.
Rob H.
TribalBob-- Excellent. I had similar results after I sent my coins out to my other node and cleared the wallet. Thinking that wallets bigger than 1 meg are a problem, but will be testing that further.

I just looked at my rig, and it said that I have "Found Block on pool 0" Pic related: http://sdrv.ms/1ffanah
Does this mean I have found a block? It's not showing up in my wallet.

From what I read that doesn't particularly mean you found a block. It's confusing I know. If you find a block it would probably say accepted under your summary in guiminer as below

Are you pool mining btw?
Not pool mining, none accepted. How long does it usually take for you to find a block at your speed?

Just an update, my 2 latest fresh installs have been running flawlessly for about 24 hours now 
December 09, 2013, 01:42:11 PM
All-
The block explorer is finally synced up:
http://explorer.gridcoin.us
I moved it to prod, and increased the bandwidth and user limits so it should have a higher service level and it is connected to a seed node, so the block number should be accurate going forward.

Im looking into this hang up issue; it just started after the recent two upgrades but the core code hasnt changed.
One hint is three of my machines work perfectly for over 30 hours now; but the one that keeps having issues has 500 test transactions over 3 chains; and its wallet keeps needing to be salvaged.
I finally sent my coins to my other machine and cleared the wallet and so far so good; feel free to try this if you continually have wallet problems.
Its not guranteed to work as Im not sure exactly what the issue is yet!

I have made a clean install from scratch with the latest software but the client still stalls every few hours.
Then i have to fire it up with -salvagewallet and it works again but only for a few hours
- then suddenly no more blocks beeing loaded. restart game...
somehow all my mined coins since yesterday got lost this way
had to restore wallet.dat from backup
what to do?

I *think* that it pools your CPU only, but that your video cards mining is still counted standalone. So you get a little boost by pooling.
I may have misinterpreted it.
I was under the impression that this is designed for CPU only miners correct?
I may have misinterpreted it.
When you use poolmining=true you become part of the internal pool.
As far as I know solo mining is the ONLY mining option... Where else are you mining at...?
There's only been a few GRC trades that I am aware of:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wtb-buying-gridcoin-327827 - Offers of 0.001 to 0.002 BTC per 1,000 GRC
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wtb-grc-gridcoin-user-derm-347908 - Apparent sales of 10,000 GRC per 1 BTC
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-gridcoins-349365 - Sale of 500 GRC for 50 mBTC
Would solo mining fix this?

Also, would anyone care to guess the value of the coins? I wouldn't mind buying $25 worth from someone. Preferably from Canada since I can use an email bank transfer and the recipient would know it can't have a chargeback like paypal.

I might still be off slightly, but if you use the listcpuminers you get to see other people in the internal pool. Usually there's just a few of them.
From what I understand that's as close as we have to a third party pool so far
Oh wow, I totally misunderstood the use of "poolmining=" I thought that "poolmining=true" enabled other users to mine on your client using their own wallet addresses with a pooled payout similar to p2pool.
Thanks for clearing that up for me!
