Re: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread
@ derm and aysyr : thank you for the coins! they seem to have at least partially solved my mining issue. Once I had a positive GRC balance in my wallet several beacons were sent after about 40 mins. I had my gridcoin.conf file including cpupoolmining=true and the client sent out 6 beacons. Is this expected? I received 7 payments over the next 6-7 hours of between 8 to 34 GRC. Does that sound about right?
So then to test solo mining I removed cpupoolmining=true from the conf file and after running for 8 hours I've yet to receive anything. Does having started out cpupool mining prevent me from then solo mining? With the following stats: Boinc proc power: 67, thread count: 2 & Avg Daily Credits: 346, what can I reckon to wait for a payout (roughly)? Or have I missed something again?
AndrewP: it's easy to omit what seems obvious in a tutorial, besides I leaned a lot about the rest of the mechanics of Gridcoin while trying to figure out my specific problem.
Thanks.

Nthuse,
You have to have cpumining=true in your gridcoin.conf at all times in order to get anything for CPU mining. There is no solo/pool mining for CPU (which is what I assume you're doing since you followed AndrewP's tutorial). Solo and pool mining is only if you're mining using cgminer or another "mining" software - otherwise known as mining with your GPU. So go ahead and add cpumining=true again and restart your client
