Just fixed it, the problem was that i had "Cpumining=true" instead of "cpumining=true", so gridcoin seemingly doesn't handle upper/lowercase configuration lines well.. be careful when changing config guys!
I also have 4 computers just CPU mining. The 72 hour countdown does not reset after upgrades. Check in your transactions to see when your last beacon was sent. Mine are all on the same schedule and I just upgraded to latest version - sure enough - my beacons all went out within 1 hour of each other - all on time. It is also interesting to note that the 2 laptophit sync - lost it - then fixed themselves withing 20 minutes (then sent the beacon on time!).
For anyone wondering if CPU mining with worth it - my computers are working on other tasks anyway. I have them doing BOINC in the background and the GRC wallet in the background. I get my 150 GRC each day for each machine (now it is 450 each 72 hours) - seems worth it to me as they are not dedicated miners. I do have one dedicated miner that is mining a different coin with GPU and GRC with CPU - My GPU is not good enough to solo GRC - so I love that I can do both!
Anyone having issues with beacons not being sent when cpu mining?
how much time did you wait? beacons are send every 72 hours..
4 computers, and it's been several days now.
If the 72 hours are reset every time I upgrade to the latest version of gridcoin, that's a complete joke since there are updates every other day.
I'd prefer it to be reverted back to daily beacons - waiting 3 days for a possible beacon is too long to wait to find out if you've set it up correctly.
