what is the (max. achievable) total amount of Gridcoins since we have CPU+GPU mining?
what I understood is we have 168 million from GPU mining (based on the avg. 100 GRC per blocks).
and for CPU mining we have the similar amount, right? Which means we are expected to produce 2x168 Million coins in total. Am I correct?
I don't think so ... all coins follow a protocol where only 1 block gets solved/broadcast in the target time, so a particular block can be solved by either a GPU miner or(/and special case when doing both) CPU miner. So the total target would still be 168 M instead of 2 x 168 M (taking an avg of 100 GRC per block generated).
I am not so clear right now as well. How the block can be solved by CPU miner since no scrypt is running on their miners.
Good question . Its got to do with with the parameter (cpumining=true) you put into the conf file ... the client looks up that file and tries to generate grc by hashing away I believe. I maybe wrong though, maybe someone could correct .
CPU mining works like this:
You place your Account ID numbers for each project in the "Projects" list in the appropriate box next to each project.
You set your username for those projects to your default receiving address.
Your computer does work for those BOINC projects.
You get paid each day based on the amount of work done for those BOINC projects.
this I know. Just wondering how many coins can be generated per day considering both CPU and GPU miners.
And what is the total amount of coins can be mined?

Answered by Rob:
Correct.
50% CPU, 50% GPU.
Hmmm, in that case Rob should edit OP to reflect the correct number of total coins because for right now it says "~168 million"
