Topic: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread - page 285. (Read 597505 times)

The in-client pool mining is pretty cool. Definitely some new innovation there and a great way for Gridcoin to distinguish itself from all the others. Great work Grid!!

All,

We are all contributing to good causes by donating our computing power to boinc, and what a fun way to do it by adding those functions into a coin and doing both at the same time?

If Bitcoin is worth $390 a coin, we have a lot of latitude here to move all of the LTC power consuming machines over to gridcoin.

I just want to say thank you all for your support and I am committed 100% to staying behind the development on this project and together we will make this a success!

Please note that the forums listed at the top of this thread are still the official places to find new information related to this coin and I don't want to confuse anyone.

We do not have a pool web site partner, because you cannot pool mine gridcoin through a pool, but we do have the integrated in-client pool mining system.

If/when we create a dedicated gridcoin forum you will be notified of the official release HERE on this forum or on our other partner forum listed under FORUMS in the coin release information.  As for now we are in our growth stage, and would like people to spread the word as far as using this coin while running boinc- to send GRC to other countries (competing with Western Union) and bringing new miners over to GRC.

We are also expirimenting with new algorithms that may allow a distribution of compensation among Boinc-cpu only users, boinc+gpu miners, and boinc+boinc gpu+gpu miners, more on that later.

Take care.
Grid

Hope you're having a good weekend Grid Be sure to post once or twice every few days in our new forums

Once Gridcoin is accepted in exchanges I'm going to sell some and switch hosts because it seems like every couple of ours it goes down for a few minutes for whatever reasons lol.

^^^^^^^^
  wow! 

WOW Very nice, looks really great.

Coming Soon:

I am giving away 250GRC, 10GRC/person.


Take a bite:

Ye the difficulty is still so low that you can get some decent coins right now.

Me too  

It feels like GRC is still good coin to solo mine with 1 cheap GPU  
Today I have 6x150 with one HD7790 solo mining...

Jump on board fast!

Nice, I just registered.

We do hope to have it there someday haha. But first we have to get the client and everything cleaned up and find a way to reward miners who are contributing exclusively to BOINC and not the network. THEN can we try to get it there since no matter how big/small the rig is they can get rewarded, but that's still in the works.

Mean time, I put together a forum yesterday if you guys want to check it out! There's no members there yet unfortunately and the boards are still empty, but it's ours

www.gridcoinforum.com

At least we can rock the forum first   :

btw I am mirrax from FTC crew...

Ye it would be great, but the University has to approve it I am sure it is not as easy.

Did anybody tryied to get Gridcoin link directly here:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/

i.e. in news, but better permanently on main page 

??

This should be marketing priority...

I think you can see some of the stats from the client if you type "getmininginfo" from debug window.

That sounds pretty cool. Can't wait.

Can't wait!

Statistics are on its way I think. Last I talked to him he was trying to integrate guiminer to the client and make some edits to it and he told me he's going to see if he can input some charts in there as well. So we'll see how it comes out in a couple of days

I miss 2 things:

a, block explorer
b, online network statistics

Any plans about those^^?

Yes I started running reaper a few days ago and it is much better, a lot less stales.
