i am trying to be an early adopter. i have a few questions. first of all, i am mining 2 gpus solo with a 12 thread processor. my average daily credits is 2700 and i have 11 threads devoted to boinc. my boinc processing power won't go above 65 points. this has been 100 fairly consistently until i decided to take a few days off with my rig. i have not had syncing issues so long as i kept up with all the updates and addnodes. my questions are these:

1. what can cause this to stay at only 65?

2. can someone please explain the scrypt sleep? does this mean when my sleep is on that my hashing is doing nothing?

3. does closing the mining console have to hide command prompts? i have other things running in command prompt sometimes and these get hidden as well. it would be helpful if the mining console only hid process that it started.

thanks, and good work so far.

1. How long were you running Gridcoin before you took a break for a few days? The 100% is made up of two things - 50% utilization which you probably have and 50% is total average daily credits which builds up 2-4 weeks. So maybe that few days break brought your average daily credits down.

2. Rob answered this question previously.

3. Try putting closeconhost=false into your gridcoin.con file to prevent it from hiding cmd prompts.

And thanks to you as well. I will try the setting. I am sure my average daily credits were at 2,700 still, and all i need is 1,000 for the first 50% gridcoin credit. The second portion was supposed to be based on the CPU processing power. I have a six (12 thread) machine and was devoting 10 processing threads to BOINC and left 2 threads for my GPUS and user-interface. This at one time easily made up the other 50% gridcoin credit, so i was at 100% and getting the full 150 block reward. I took a break for a few days and now once i started back up, after running for 5 hours. My total gridcoin credit was only 65%. Again, my boinc avg daily credit was 2,700. so 10 cpu threads only accounted for 15 additional %? As proof, if I pause BOINC processing, my gridcoin credit drops back to 50%.
