aysyr,
Thanks for the reply. I have cpumining=true, it was cpupoolmining=true that I removed and then things seemed to stop. In my earlier post I had already stripped it out and then forgot to remove it form the actual file (confusing I know) when I started mining following receipt of coins from you and derm. So this is what I have in my gridcoin.conf file now:
server=1
rpcuser=gridcoinrpc
rpcpassword=GG6XHgjJYmzaSxAeRTeRRhC1g3Smgk1QDh
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
cpumining=true
UpdatingLeaderboard=false
UpdatedLeaderboard=25/01/2014 16:22:27
Project1=107958
Project3=491999
Project5=1012899
boincappfolder=C:\Program Files\Boinc\
Should this work?
Your advice is much appreciated.
