I assume there is no mining calculator yet.
So what can I achieve with mine 4 cores/8 threads i7 ?

dude you are not mining scrypt
you have to run cgminer with -scrypt command to mine gridcoin
you have to run cgminer with -scrypt command to mine gridcoin
ok, i created a bat-file (same folder) with this text: "cgminer.exe -script"
and now cgminer.exe (ver.3.5.0 same as in the tutorial) exits/quits/crashes immediately after bat-file start
without parameters bat-file works fine
i have also cgminer.conf-file in the same folder:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "127.0.0.1:9332",
"user" : "cornuto",
"pass" : "xxxxx"
}
]
}
Hello,
Try re-launching with "cgminer.exe --scrypt" instead of "cgminer.exe -scrypt".
Need to have that extra "-".

Hi, I'm hoping someone could help me out here:
I'm running BOINC on my server, so I can only install BOINC 5.10.45.
Boink utilization always displays as 0.
In the mining instructions PDF it says in step 9
"9. Launch Gridcoin-qt. Click on the mining console menu. Click register mining
module. This will register the boinc.dll with the OS, that will allow communication
between boinc, cgminer and gridcoin-qt. Note: If you do not register the DLL, boinc
utilization will always show as zero. "
I didn't have to do this on a device running the latest BOINC, and I can't even see the "register mining
module" option anywhere.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Tip for anyone who might find this helpful:
One of my machines was stuck on Block-10, and restarts didn't help, and I found if you delete the "Chainstate" folder and restart everything is synced up and did not have to re-sync all the prior blocks.

Apparently something is being appended to the chainstate file that the program cant deal with - obviously the real data is on the network since it ultimately recovers. Has to be related to the current forks since this was not a problem before the hard fork upgrade.

get guiminer it is much easier to operate.
yes i see the Y/I-error
but... the same sharp exit
with cgminer 3.5.0 (-scrypt) - exiting
with cgminer 3.1.0 (-scrypt) - exiting
with cgminer 3.8.4 w/o bat.-file - "no devices detected"
or maybe i dig but dig too slowly
in fact some numbers are changing in cgminer 3.5.0/3.1.0 window
just no money & no info in mining console about the digger - unknown unknown....
win 7 x64 home edition
netbook Samsung with AMD E-450 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 1650 MHz, cores: 2
P.S. there is cgminer-nogpu.exe in the cgminer folder - may be i d better start this
scrypt NOT script

scrypt NOT script
ok, i created a bat-file (same folder) with this text: "cgminer.exe -script"
and now cgminer.exe (ver.3.5.0 same as in the tutorial) exits/quits/crashes immediately after bat-file start
without parameters bat-file works fine
i have also cgminer.conf-file in the same folder:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "127.0.0.1:9332",
"user" : "cornuto",
"pass" : "xxxxx"

I'll be incredibly cheeky and ask if my existing 4.8 million rosetta credits can have 'back-payment' 
(I know there's no way to verify, and this coin doesn't work like that, but hey, gotta try!)
Just stopped using BOINC to try and actually earn some money for the contributions, mining litecoins at the moment; but am interested in this coin, because as others have stated - it encourages actually providing something back to the real world at the same time.
Has there been any potential discussion with any BOINC project owners for any additional potential integration or collaboration?

1) On back credits, LOL, obviously you don't lose them and you keep them whether you join Team Gridcoin or not (the cpu mining group that is Off), or if you decide to leave later, you own your account & credits.
As far as back compensation, we are slowly moving towards avg_daily_credits+utilization for compensation, therefore, it will end up being more of a daily activity for you to keep the daily averages high; so lookback daily credits will drop off over 31 days anyway.
2) Discussion with Berkeley: I am definitely interested in speaking to their IT, and individual project IT departments for official integration. I view this as something that should be done when we are stable and mature and closer to being defect free. Things are happening behind the scenes, relatively volatile things, such as consolidating the Linux & mac clients requires a few changes to the code, and establishing a solid payment system, and when things cool down and become stable, I will definitely pursue integration talks with IT. Its more of an issue where you have to have your ducks in a row before wasting their time with nonsense.
Best Regards,
Rob Halford

I just got a new crash. (There's a regular crash I get that doesn't give any useful errors, but this one seems to have some info of note)
Assertion Failed!
Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Gridcoin\gridcoin-qt.exe
File: src/wallet.cpp
Line: 1847
Expression: vchPubKey.IsValid()
And the non-informative error usually just says "OSS GUI client for Gridcoin has stopped working".

You can also try doing this. Backup your wallet.dat, delete everything in your AppData\Roaming\Gridcoin folder, launch Gridcoin and let it sync completely with a new wallet. Then close out of it, replace the new wallet.dat with your old one, and relaunch and see if that helps. I got a few errors over the several updates where it said it couldn't open my wallet.dat, and just playing around with syncing, replacing the wallet, etc. it eventually booted up. I had a hell of a time yesterday since my two machines running Gridcoin both got them, spent like 45 min fixing it lol.

I had this same problem but each time the wallet was restarted it got further along syncing and eventually I was able to send the coins to a different wallet.
While I haven't used it, I was told the -salvagewallet command will fix that problem.

Is anyone else having trouble synchronizing with network? Just to be sure I was up to the latest version I uninstalled and updated, and still can't sync.
I'm running (and was running prior to that) 1.1.3.7-g71-prod.
