Unfortunately for now it is, if it wasn't for the recent hacking incidents we would have an improved linux wallet, but this is a very complex project so for now this is
what we have.

Gotta question about pool mining, hopefully I'm in the right thread.

I'm connected to http://pool.gridcoin.us, and everything is working swimmingly.  I even found a block.

But I am completely mystified about how the ranking of the leaderboard works, and how payouts are calculated.  The pool site is pretty bare-bones, so I couldn't find any kind of help or docs on there.

The column labeled "Boinc RAC" only appears to show the first few digits of my actual RAC.  For example, if my average daily credits show in the wallet as 210,000, this column shows it only as "2100"  (is that just a display bug, or are position and payouts being calculated only on the first 4 digits of my actual RAC?)

And are there really only 18 miners using that pool? (as of the time of this post)  I would've expected a lot more people to be mining in the pool.

still cannot sync with 2.0.0.2

Hey,

Anyone able to provide information on scrypt-sleep functionality?
I've searched on here and cryptocointalk forums to no avail.

Cheers

@Gridcoin can you please help? I am getting this when i try to compile it in ubuntu.

rpcmining.cpp:15:16: fatal error: io.h: No such file or directory
 #include "io.h"
                ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [obj/rpcmining.o] Error 1

Hello Allcrypt, thanks for adding us.

To build gridcoind, use the link Traderman mentions:
http://www.gridcoin.us/download/compilingGridcoinOnlinux.txt

Ensure you are git cloning the 'gridcoin-master/gridcoin-master-linux' and build from the Linux directory. 
If you have any problems with io.h, (some Debian 64 distros reported this), change that one line to  #include .

Other than that you should be good to go.  Once you create your gridcoin.conf file, add node 'www.gridcoin.us' if you have any sync issues.

Best of Luck,
Grid

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?

I modified it, however it might go down to somewhere between 168 million and 300 million after our pools go live, since cpuminers will have to hash using minerd (cpuminer-scrypt).

That should be a boon for our exchange value.

is there any pro/con to running multiple projects at a time rather than 1 single project?

Thank you, but it still leaves questions.
1. Do I need the BOINC Manager APP open and running, why would I enable CPU mining through Gridcoin if my BOINC manager is using 100% of my CPU

2. The OP explains a breakdown of 5-150 coin payouts based on utilization toward BOINC. My mining module still shows 0 utilization after making sure I followed that guide completely. How am I supposed to get those working and how am I supposed to know how to optimize my coin income? Why would I want to run 2 GPUs at full power mining this if I could be using them for something else and getting the same coins.

3. I had a couple of extremely small payments come through a short period ago (around 0.0000003 Grid) which have since vanished. These weren't immature just unconfirmed (I have it set to pool mine).. I'm still at a complete loss and the guide doesn't explain how this works.

4. Do I need coin in my wallet before this works? I read on the Gridcoin forum you need to ask somebody who will "gladly send you a coin" before you can start mining.
