Re: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread
I need a little help setting up my Gridcoin Research mining.
I would like to use my running Boinc to get Gridcoin (not mine Gridcoin by GPU directly).
BOINC is up and running Seti@Home, all working fine for many years now.
Now I installed the Gridcoin Research Wallet, entered my Boinc email address on first startup and edited the gridcoinresearch.conf file to make it find my Boinc installation.
But it is showing this:
I got no Gridcoin so far and I don´t know why.
Can anyone help me getting it fixed?

First of all you need some GRCs to start. Since PoR is based on PoS, you need a minimum balance in order to stake.
Don't worry if the amount is very low: there is a newbie stake rule pushing it up, so you can mint about daily.
You can get some free GRCs here: http://uscore.net/
Or buy classic GRC on an exchange and burn them in order to convert to new GRC (see OP).
