ok thats much better. I also found the cpu tutorial on cryptocointalk.
But I still have that red message saying "Boinc utilization low", what am I doing wrong? is Boinc v7.x my problem?
I also read on cryptocointalk that you need to get 1 GRC to send an initial beacon out? is that still the case? Not reading anything about that here?
Yes, you need some GRC to send out beacons for CPU mining. Beacons are ~0.08 GRC each.
You said you have it showing 50% utilization right? That's normal...you need some time running BOINC for it to gradually build up credits. When you get to 1000 average daily credits you'll get to 100% utilization.
