The Gridcoin classic wallet will be shut down on the 20th of October and the new POR (Proof of Research) wallet will be going live on the exchanges!! So if you want wait till the 20th and then you can buy some POR GRC on the exchanges and start with the new wallet which is much more simple to run! Forget about GRC classic!
The new wallet is pure Proof-of-Research plus Stake now. Only the wallet in retirement uses scrypt Proof-of-Work and the community decided that 6 months was a sufficient amount of time to convert the Classic coins to the new Research coins.
Great! I didn't understand it properly before

One more question - my world community grid shows:
Gridcoin 10/14/2014 - Current 0:002:06:48:15 9,964
the email is in .conf file
When should I receive first coins?
Tried to run boinc on GPU...and went back to mining. GPU computing must be improved or a clear instruction what to do, what settings, what variables etc published. Otherwise the best crypto-idea will fall and only we, three persons will write in this thread.
BTW: when I'll get my coins for CPU-computing during last days?
