Hi,

I have 2 questions that I've tries to figure out and post here as a last resort.

1)I have been successfully CPU mining for a few days now although payout total about 70-80 GRC per day not 150 but my question is that the the number of beacons sent out each day is now up to 9. Is this what other people get?

2) I have now acquired a desktop with an XFX 7970 GPU and am trying to get that mining. I've followed the explanation given at http://gridcoinnetwork.org/gpu-mining/ and had it running for 48 hours but have yet mine anything.

gridcoin.conf:
server=1
rpcuser=rpc
rpcpassword=G3GhkCmrjT223F2bQeU3robxyJfzpZgxQF
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
addnode=98.114.181.178

UpdatingLeaderboard=false
dev0_gpu_thread_concurrency=16384
dev0_worksize=256
dev0_intensity=17
dev0_lookup_gap=2
dev0_enabled=True
dev0_name=0 - Tahiti - Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
chkFullSpeed=False
chkMiningEnabled=True
chkCGMonitor=False
UpdatedLeaderboard=29/01/2014 07:45:14

I've also put this cgminer.conf file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Gridcoin  folder:
{
"pools" : [
 {
   "url" : "127.0.0.1:9332",
   "user" : "rpc",
   "pass" : "G3GhkCmrjT223F2bQeU3robxyJfzpZgxQF"
 }
]
,

"vectors" : "1",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"shaders" : "0",
"gpu-engine" : "0,900",

"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0",
"temp-cutoff" : "89",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "75",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"hotplug" : "5",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "30",
"scrypt" : true,
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

This wasn't in the tutorial. Is is screwing up my mining? my GPU hasn't been tweaked and is getting only about 450K/hs

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
