Re: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC

So, if I understand correctly, we're still unable to mine GRC on an headless linux rig Huh

Have you an ETA about that ?

6) Gridcoin will measure the processes individual thread utilization, memory footprint, authenticity and send that information back to same thread that rpcmining is running on. It will not provide a higher subsidy unless all of the requirements are met, and the mining module is registered to the machines registry. Boinc Points will be part of the base algorithm soon.

Is boinc point part of the algorithm already or do we have to wait for that too ?

By the way, GRC is a GREAT idea. Imagine a coin which yield profit and benefit the science at the same time. It would be wonderful

I can't wait to test it ! We're still lacking features but you job is VERY promising guys !

Hi Yamashita,

Please see page 69 of this thread:
https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1331-new-coin-launch-announcement-grc-gridcoin/page-70#entry33893

We have wine-alpha available; please help us test it out if you can & see if it will mine?

Thanks!

Good luck,

Thank you for the instructions ! However, there are some problems :

Code:

err:winediag:xrandr12_init_modes Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.

Finally, it would be nice to have a cli gridcoin client. Currently, I can't use Gridcoin on my mining rig ...

Hi,

Thank you for testing.
We will definitely package it all once it is working for easy install (side note: Ive tested the MSI in wine and it works, but its not stable enough for packaging yet).
The main problem is you should receive types registered successfully; not a noveau error; you can try googling that problem and fixing wine first; I tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and it works & boots & listens for mining;

2) You are mining scrypt successfully on the box correct? So the problem is only restricted to building the wine client.

Thanks,
Grid
