Topic: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread - page 288. (Read 597251 times)

boinc processing power: 0
threads: 0
mining modul registered version: 0

I will now add one of the projects.
After opening cmd and writing lodct /r i restarted gridcoin, but same problem.
Unluckyly I have to go to work no.
I'm back in round about 11 hours.

Stefan,

When you go to the Mining Console now, is the Mining Module Registered Version 0? What number is it?  What number are your Threads too? If you tell us those numbers we'll be able to tell you what to do to get the processing power to go up.

Meanwhile, with Gridcoin open, open an administrator command prompt (search cmd in your start menu, then right click and click run as administrator), then type "lodctr /r" without the quotations. Then restart your Gridcoin client. Also, do you have any of the following projects added? Rosetta@home, Seti@home or World Community Grid? If not add one of them as your project.

Hi,

I installed the .zip.
First when I wanted to register mining console gridcoin was killed so I read the troubleshooting and installed microsoft.net version 4.51.
After that, when registering mining console gridcoin did not close, but nothing happened.
It shows furthermore "Boinc Processing Power: 0"

Is there a difference between the credits I have on the project homepages and my wallet in gridcoin?
Thanks.
stefan

traderman,

Yup, the in-client pool mining rewards the BOINC subside depending on the average BOINC utilization among those who mined the share.


grv,
 
At the moment, only the CPU provides computational power to BOINC. However, the dev's working on ways to reward BOINC work to both AMD and Nvidia cards. Either way, even just CPU computational power is already more than most other altcoins do. Also, the network would still need the work from processors to do the PoW verification and push out blocks, so mining on the blockchain is still a necessity.

so pool mining with boinc subsidy?

No trader, the CPU goes to BOINC. The GPU's do the pool mining

That would be the client doing cpu mining?

If anyone who downloaded the new client would like to test out Pool mining in production, edit your gridcoin.conf file and place this in it:
poolmining=true
(Restart gridcoin)

We currently have 3 people pool mining over 7 nodes.

You must find a block after switching to pool mode before you start receiving pool payments.  The pool payments continue indefinately as long as you find more blocks within the current difficulty lookback period.

Do a listminers from the console window to see your status in the pool after you mine your first block.

When anyone in the pool finds a block, you will receive compensation immediately.

Happy Mining.

Hey Conqueror,
Generation rate: 1 new block every 2.5 mins
Difficulty changes: Retarget every 30 mins.
Thanks for the link.
Thanks for switching over to GRC!

Ye I am trying to spread the word around with the petition on Cryptsy. Hopefully they put it up soon.

Ye I was getting quite a bit of stales. When i tried reaper it seems i am getting less.

Hey stefan,

First, BOINC allows people to contribute processing power to research projects that require a great deal of compute power to finish. You can choose to do projects that do things such as help with anti-malaria research, mathematical computations, physics research, etc.

Second, in your mining console, what is the number of your Mining Module Registered Version and your Threads? Also, did you install with the .msi or extract the .zip?

Now I've done the whole setup prozess.
But when I'm registering a mining modul in the Gridcoin Mining Modul the BOINC prozessing power is always zero.
What should I do?
Furthermore I've added some projects in BOINC and it's running now, but what did it exactly do?
Forgive my poor questions but thats a really new terrain for me.
stefan

Finally a coin that does not just waste power and ACTUALLY does something good for science. 

Exchanges should step up and support this coin just on that fact alone.

In last 2 days I have 7 accepted shares and 6 rejectet (all time boinc utilization 100)

Is this normal? Or not?

The Gridcoin reddit page. Vote it up fellas!

http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1pwin1/what_do_you_guys_think_about_this_new/

I did the upgrade and it is pretty easy.

New version available:
v1030 (MSI v3.1) is available for download on www.gridcoin.us.  The MSI and the ZIP have been updated. 
 
Please update your clients. 
 
Note:  This is not the much anticipated pool mining production version, but it contains the feature that will let you test pool mining.
 
It is also critical that we go through this exercise to upgrade each clients block chain to the new expanded gridcoin version, which stores the boinchash in the chain, the boinc credits over time, and the avg user trend.
 
It is important that these values start to propogate to all gridcoin users so we can move forward with a standard chain across all clients that will let us finish the development of the pool mining credit algorithm and let the block explorer see the boinc utilization, md5, and other security information in case anyone asks why the user received > 5 subsidy.
 
There are 2 major issues you have to overcome to successfully upgrade.  One, please backup your wallet and your gridcoin.conf file (you can make a backup folder in your users\yourname\appdata\roaming\gridcoin folder if you want to dump your entire folder in there.  Then delete the Blocks and the ChainState folder--  the Blocks and ChainState must be wiped out in order for the database to expand.
 
Download the new version to your machine, before running it:
 
The second issue is you must delete your c:\program files (x86)\gridcoin folder contents (as the MSI installer will not kill the old gridcoin-qt.exe file or the dll files by itself, working on a fix for that to see if the installer will listen to upgrade commands eventually), so please erase your program directory and then re-install the new MSI.  Launch it, and verify the client syncs up to the current block.
 
To test that you are running the newest version, you can go into the gridcoin-qt Help | Debug | Console and type listminers.
You should receive a pool mining report (v1.3).  The boinc information will show up under "boinchash".  Going forward, the information will be stored in the chain and propogated to other users automatically.
 
Have a good one.

why complex?

nice concept though mining gets complex
