Re: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread
Your gridcoin setup seems to be working. The/One reason why you are not able to mine is that you need to have at least one valid project. If you joined/changed projects related to gridcoin recently it might take some time (1-2 days) until the changes are recognized. A valid BOINC project for gridcoin does have the following characteristics:
- at least 100 RAC
- the mailaddress you used for registration is same as in the gridcoin.conf
- you joined team gridcoin for that project
As soon listitem cpids shows at least one valid project (key "Is my CPID Valid?"=true) you should be able to mine.
Regarding your config:
Make sure that these settings matches your miner config I recommend to leave at standard values (127.0.0.1 & 9332)as long you dont have a reason to change it
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
If you you want to CPU mine as well set it to true (use lower case only)
cpumining=true
Be aware that at default gridcoin uses up to 100% of available CPU ressources to crunch CPU block. You can use the key threadlimit to set the number threads to be used by gridcoin (e.g. threadlimit=2 for 50% on a 4 core system), it is recommended to leave some ressources to rest of the system otherwise it might become unstable (esp. with 6*280X power heaters
) .
If you you want to pool mine as well set it to true (use lower case only) if you want to solo mine set it to false
poolmining=false
Your version is already outdated you update it using the upgrade command on debug console in gridcoin itself.
With the command "execute resetcpids" you can force an update of your project stats in case you think the values are outdated.
If you want to GPU and CPU mine at the same time not enough power is left for BOINC! As your block reward is related to your average credits compared to the average credit of the gridcoin team (per project) you only get small payouts if the whole power is used for gridocin. Check the list of command "listitem network" it shows the average RAC (for each project) which is needed to get the full reward. For now, as you dont have a valid project, I would recommend to use all your CPU and GPU power to earn RAC in BOINC, some of the projects are GPU enabled (check here http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing) and with your GPU setup you can earn many credits very fast!

to get a full picture please give us some more information:
- do you want to GPU and/or CPU mine? - GPU + CPU (if possible but not priority)
- do you want to solo or pool mine? - in solo i think (6*r9 280x)
- you do have at least 1 BOINC project with a RAC > 100? - nope, appr. 39
- you joined the team gridcoin for all projects you want to use with gridcoin? - not all., but select 2 projects.
- the mail address you used in the gridcoin.conf is the same you used to join/register BOINC projects? - yes
please go to your debug console in gridcoin type the following commands and post the result here (if possible as file):
