Another Noob here. I've been trying to get CPU mining working all week but have yet to get the client to send out the beacon to get me on the list of CPU miners.  I've followed AndrewP's tutorial (https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1922-cpu-mining-tutorialtopic/) and read pretty much every post on this and other forums to try to figure this out for myself but seemingly have got nowhere. My Boinc utilization is 60% and Avg daily credits=204.

Gridcoin.conf file is:
server=1
rpcuser=gridcoinrpc
rpcpassword=GG6XHgjJYmzaSxAeRTeRRhC1g3Smgk1QDh
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
cpumining=true
UpdatingLeaderboard=false
UpdatedLeaderboard=23/01/2014 19:54:01
Project1=107958
Project3=491999
Project5=1012899
boincappfolder=C:\Program Files\Boinc\

cgminer.conf is (not sure if I even need to set this for CPU mining):
"pools" : [
 {
   "url" : "127.0.0.1:9332",
   "user" : "gridcoinrpc",
   "pass" : "GG6XHgjJYmzaSxAeRTeRRhC1g3Smgk1QDh"
 }
]

CPU = Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B970 @ 2.30GHz
Project console - malaria control, Milkyway@home and Rosetta@home all have positive credits.
I've changed the wallet address receiving label to 'Default'

To date I've 'received' 6 unconfirmed transactions of either 0.00000167 or 0.00000267 GRC but I'm pretty sure they have nothing to do with mining and I haven't mined these.

IS there something really obvious that I'm missing? Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm completely stuck!  Huh Grin


Hmmm, everything looks right; and when you go into Projects, the number to the right is positive?  Do you have  > 1 grc in your balance?  If not I can send you some.

We just released a new version with beacon logging, so try downloading that also and erase your debug file before you run it; it should say something within an hour as to why your beacon isn't going out.
