Re: [ANN] Grin | PoW Mining | Electronic transactions for all. Community driven.
I really despise coins that launch with only a cli client. It is so 90s. Also, not having an official Windows version is not forgivable. Correct me if I am wrong, didn't Satoshi launch BTC with both a GUI and Windows compatible?
I have found the miner that is compatible with Windows and have mined it a little, starting yesterday. However, the cooling on my desktop is shitty, especially for the CPU. I don't like to see my CPU temps running in the 70s with spikes in the 90s. So I have only been running it for about an hour here and there.
I haven't bothered setting up a node yet. I haven't used the VM in over a year and don't think it is worth it to run a node via Vultr.
(As an aside, I am running Grin Gold Miner, and I think it's funny that it stores my password in plain text.
But so does BTC RPC. Oh well.)
offtopic: I switched to Linux (single boot) in 2015 when windows 10 came out and it became obvious that nothing has changed for the better, after that I never looked back. To me today it's incomprehensible why people are using this junk adware/bloatware/spyware combination, that installs and deletes things on YOUR computer without your knowledge. But I'm not a hater, so I forgive such people, after all they may need it to make money in proprietary software or something.. I wish I persisted with the switch back in the day, then I would most certainly knew about bitcoin in 2009-2010 because of its proximity to hacker/coding culture, and maybe I would have made some profits on these skills.I have found the miner that is compatible with Windows and have mined it a little, starting yesterday.

Relax guys, the amount in question is minuscule, not even worth the domain name. It is not a 'business' but a hobby for me. Anyway I was able to yank it out to my local node/wallet, for it you need an external IP address, compiled wallet and a port forwarding rule on the router.

guys I've used a fake (nonexistent) email, how can I retrieve my coins from grinmint? I don't get how can you use a grinbox relay, I set grinbox.io:443 in settings but the transaction was refused, and how would it know to where it should send the file?

Why the total supply is infinite? This will make the price go down in the long run...
So far there is no proof that finite supply and price is correlated directly, outside of the investors expectations of scarcity, major coins are still in the issuance phase and no one knows what will be when the last bitcoin is minted. I would rather see a coin with a 3% tail emission accepted at every shop on this planet, than 1.000.000 USD/BTC for which you can go to jail if being caught.

With a Ryzen 1700@3400 16 threads in Ubuntu I get 0,35 g/s . Too low for this insane difficulty, but work.
Sadly i couldnt take any Grin, but i like the project, good luck.
you draw conclusions too fast, it depends on how much it would cost, with CPU you will not get much on any coin. in my rough estimation it will be on pair with other cpu minable coins if it will cost ~12$ or ~50k sat per coin. the estimation is based on first 12h of mining and can be totally inaccurate in the long run.Sadly i couldnt take any Grin, but i like the project, good luck.

the grin-miner 0.5.2 throws me off from the console if I set more than 2cores (it looks like some kind of visual glitch, but program stops after that) I run Arch on a X5660 (6C12T) and 16G of RAM, anyone had such issue?
