Everybody remember to upgrade your wallet! Navigate help-> Debug window -> Console, then type upgrade.

If you go into upgrade loop for some reason add this line in gridcoin.conf: suppressupgrade=true.

Cheers!

I had the same problem that listitem cpids showed only "command:cpids"

I have boincData folder in not default location so I had to set boincdatadir=.....

It seems that those parameters have changed a bit now. Hope this helps for those who have problems.

I am a windows user so everything works ok for me, I wish I could help the linux people, but unfortunately I have never used linux.

Hey guys, are there any working addnodes?  Been trying to setup a Block Explorer for Gridcoin for a little while now and can't get any connections at all.  Tried the following addnodes with no luck...

addnode=www.pgp.mx
addnode=gridcoinweu01.cloudapp.net
addnode=gridcoinweu02.cloudapp.net
addnode=gridcoinneu01.cloudapp.net
addnode=gridcoinneu02.cloudapp.net
addnode=gridcoineus01.cloudapp.net
addnode=gridcoineus02.cloudapp.net
addnode=gridcoinwus01.cloudapp.net
addnode=gridcoinwus02.cloudapp.net
addnode=gridcoinea01.cloudapp.net
addnode=gridcoinea02.cloudapp.net
addnode=98.114.181.178
addnode=76.187.184.27
addnode=66.187.94.194
addnode=76.74.177.224
addnode=84.125.196.167
addnode=71.233.139.62


I just did a successful sync only using www.pgp.mx

Make sure you are on the right version or you'll wait forever Tongue

I'm thinking about mining this now that I owe 9600GRC to someone that I can't get back to my wallet Sad  , looks like a pita to setup though.

Still no luck with this, every other coin daemon i have downloaded and installed with the proper addnodes works fine.  Is there some sort of trick for this daemon to run on linux?  0 Connections all the time and the following errors when it does try to connect...

Code:
connected 76.187.184.27:32760
send version message: version 100001, blocks=0, us=107.170.13.110:32760, them=76.187.184.27:32760, peer=76.187.184.27:32760
ba ,,0,CRD_V,SOLO_MINING,GDSHkak7MazgicB7qJ6kocyMoy1nq6pi47,,,,?socket closed
disconnecting node 76.187.184.27:32760
connect() failed after select(): Network is unreachable

Suppose maybe that should be my next question.  Has anyone setup and had the coin daemon connect and sync on linux?  Smiley

What version of the wallet are you running? Newest is 2.1.0.7 and my gues is that you are running 2.1.0.5

GRC price is rising again, very nice! And it bothers me that many say devS don't do anything and there is only one dev and he uses A LOT of his time to make GRC a better coin.

Tut: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=403734.0

Hi,

Tying to mine this with a 6 GPU rig...Do I have to use the Mining Module? Do i need 1 instance of cgminer for each GPU?
BOINK is open but im unsure if its supposed to be SUSPENDED or not?

Im still confused, can someone help?

Thanks

Thanks alot for not answering any of my doubts :/
That tutorial does not answer any of them.
Is it mandatory to start cgminer through Mining Module?
Do I have to use 1 instance per GPU?

Why do I get a blank page on the GuiMiner tab?

Last time I ask about this coin

It is not mandatory to use the built in miner. Just start cgminer like you start it with other coins. If you use the built in then you need to make intance for each card but like I said it's not mandatory.

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.

If you have an existing peers.dat file delete it, i had same issues on my rigs they would not sync unless the peers.dat file was deleted.



Oh thats been done about 20x also Wink

I truly think its because this is a windows coin and the linux source is so neglected. The funky hoops you need to jump to even compile it says a ton.

Tbh, the gridcoin really needs a fork to before the hacking, or a relaunch as it shouldn't have been launched in an alpha state.

Sorry to say but your comments are like you are some kind of god who knows every right answer for everything. We should have forked but I think it's a bit too late already. I get this feeling that you are only thinking your own good and not others.

Whats the most current version?

{
"version" : 2010007,
"protocolversion" : 110001,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"blocks" : 86815,
"timeoffset" : -7,
"connections" : 65,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 6.07773227,
"testnet" : false,
"paytxfee" : 0.01000000,
"mininput" : 0.00010000,
"errors" : ""
}

I have only addnode=www.pgp.mx

Oh I'm sorry it has been so hard with grc it may have something to do now with the version because you have older version. I think you should email Rob(the developer) directly: Contact@Gridcoin.us

Yep lets stay out of cryptorush. Mintpal is the one we should get into someday. Now is not a very good time to get listed because we are still recovering from big changes and haxing. When cpu mining is up and running and security is as it should be then would be the best time to get listed.

I think some people are panic selling now that the price is low.

Any suggestions for transactions that are stuck due to running one of the numerous wrong versions?  I have a users withdraw that is stuck since , most likely due to gridcoin.us having mismatched versions of software.

For the love of god if you are going to offer multiple download options please make sure they are all up to date.  I'm going to have to purchase some gridcoins so I can have my users continue with their trading and "hope" they send any extras back if their transactions actually go through.

If you got those coins in a right chain and if you sent them to wrong chain you should get back your coins with the right chain. Meaning that you still have those coins in the right chain so install newest wallet and rebuild blockchain should do? Hope so..

Grc is on several other exchanges.


That's cool, just as an FYI, we ADDED a command to the already existing commands and renamed an existing command.

I will put the original commands back the way they were, but its not going to be tonight or tomorrow, so take it easy for a while and Ill let you know when its working.


Thanks!

Rob H.



Still waiting on that. Without it - it's not on AllCrypt and I'm not sure how it can be running on any other exchange either.

I don't care if several other exchanges are not using all the commands they should be to handle the coins properly.

The gridcoin team changed fundamental RPC commands. We use a full suite of commands to secure and transfer coins to ensure that the transactions are safe. The gridcoin wallet will not run with our system, because our accounting is more in depth. I was told the commands would be changed back so that the coin could run on Allcrypt.

Unless that happens it will have to be removed. I was told it would happen, but its been a week now.

If the dev team does not want it on AllCrypt, please say so, as I have users getting frustrated that they have made deposits they cannot use, and GRD they cannot buy. It is in everyone's best interest to have your coin on as many exchanges as possible. We're not being unreasonable to ask that a coin follow the standards that every other coin follows as far as RPC command structure.

Yes, we COULD put the coin on as it is. But then we lower security and accountability standards, and thats not acceptable.

I'd really appreciate an answer as to if the wallet will be fixed, or if we should remove Gridcoin.


Give some more time because Rob is the only developer and now that the cpu mining were hacked he has so much to do right now. He's doing cpu mining from scratch again and other mandatory tasks too so he will make the changes as soon as he got some time.

edit: Informed Rob about this in cryptocointalk.

edit2: AllCrypt: commands have been added but you will have to wait.

I hope you guys understand that it may not be possible to have 100% boinc cpu mining because security is the issue then. As we saw some f*ckers came and used it to exploit 0.5M grc. I know that Rob would also want to have 100% of cpu time towards boinc but it may not be possible. As Rob said it could be possible to use 1 thread with about 10% processor time to calculate algo. So with 1-core processor you would still have 90% for boinc.

is there new nodes or something??  I haven't opened my GRC wallet in a couple months, and now I have but the QT wont sync.  So I tried the lastest QT and still no luck.  Can someone help me out?

if sparoods way doesn't work try this:

1. Backup your wallet
2. Delete everything regarding gridcoin (/program files/gridcoin and %appadata%/gridcoin)
3. Install newest wallet from gridcoin.us
4. Start first with a new wallet.dat and let it sync
5. Paste your backup wallet to %appdata%/gridcoin it should rescan then the backup wallet

Anyone having issues with beacons not being sent when cpu mining?

how much time did you wait? beacons are send every 72 hours..

4 computers, and it's been several days now.
If the 72 hours are reset every time I upgrade to the latest version of gridcoin, that's a complete joke since there are updates every other day.
I'd prefer it to be reverted back to daily beacons - waiting 3 days for a possible beacon is too long to wait to find out if you've set it up correctly.

I encourage you to write about it to https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1331-new-coin-launch-announcement-grc-gridcoin/page-121

Rob reads that more than bitcointalk. I haven't had any problem but yes I think there should be some way to make sure everything is working with cpu mining. For me the beacons were send in an hour or so when I first started cpu mining. So I think something is still wrong with your configuration :/ Yep maybe encryption!

ok so there is pooled mining.. i have that tab open.. so is it better to pool mine or solo?

is cpu mining worth it if i have a gpu rig? or does the hashrate from cpu mining pale in comparison?

what is "GRC address" do i leave that blank?

Why don't you read the first post? There's a lot of information about the coin and also tutorials how to mine. I think this is the most profitable coin there is available and sure use all your cpu:s:

https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1922-cpu-mining-tutorialtopic/

The idea is that you calculate boinc with cpu and get paid grc (max 150grc/day/pc). Very profitable. You can also solo mine and 3MH would get you quite a good amount of coins per day. Also pool mining is possible it's up to you.

http://explorer.gridcoin.us/
There's network hashrate and stuff..

thanks, and i did read. I know what the concept is, but it doesn't answer the questions I'm asking. i wasn't asking how to set it up, I already saw the tutorial.

Still no one answered if solo mining is better than pooled mining for this coin, or no difference?

Does mining this coin have the same power usage as regular scrypt coins? (currently mining darkcoin which uses only 50% of usual wattage and very little heat, so i'm looking for something efficient)

Does it matter what type of cpu you have? or do you get 150 grc regardless of what type of cpu? (I have 3930k and 4770k)

Just solo mine because hashrate is not very high. This is regular scrypt. With your cpus I think you will get full credits. 576 blocks are for cpu miners and there are now about 1k? miners so there is some competition already.
