That would not be a problem, if I am sure it is working.

Did you check the site I linked you to? Also, in Windows check your Resource Monitor. If gridcoinresearch.exe is in there somewhere you are fine.

Yes it is there, but CPU usage is 00.

Do you have a firewall in place which may be blocking Gridcoin transactions?

The firewall should be fine, I allowed Gridcoin to access the Internet.

Yes, it does say syncing, it said so for hours. What does it mean?

From my experience, this means it has lost the blockchain. Try "Rebuild Block Chain --> Download Blocks"

I did this twice today, each time I lost the "free" initial Coins, it just took hours until the Coins are shown again.

Actual Status:
No Stacking as the Wallet is synchronized.
8 connections active to red Gridcoin. Whatever this means!?
Actual Status: Balance 7.139807 GRC
Does say: Syncing

Just a mean question: Has anybody really bought something real, or paid the electric bill with it?

Status Up-Date:
Stacking! :-))
Your weight is 25007
Estimated time to earn a reward is 8 dias.
8 connections active to red Gridcoin. Whatever this means!?
Balance: 7.139697
Does say: Probing coin age on various projects.

Has it to be that frustrating to get better?

It seems it got way better:-)

I just wanted to comeback after five days – as I have been quite negative on Monday.

It working now: I have been awarded the amount of around 140 Gridcoins until now! Something new to look at…

However, it seems that to get really interesting you have to have a minimum of 2000 GRC in your Wallet - something like this I understand from the forums… So I have quite an uphill struggle in front of me.

But in the end, I would recommend it to all, it is nice bonus!

And finally to come back to Zoltan's first post:

I'm perceiving the Gridcoin team & currency as the EVGA team in folding@home. The EVGA team used to give away GPUs as a prize for their members. I consider it as a good way of building a team & fan base. So I have a dream of that the Gridcoin will grow big enough to be accepted directly by some hardware vendors.

It would be nice if the next generation of GPUs might be purchased with Gridcoins.

Glad it's working for you now. Just remember that new team members receive a bonus on their Gridcoin earnings, so don't expect your current accrual rate to last. My "initiate" period ended recently and I saw my earnings drop quite a bit. Still, if one can earn some coins through crunching, why not keep with it regardless of the rate of accrual if one will be crunching anyway?

I would have liked to report that everything goes smooth, but unfortunately GPUGRID crashed my computer this afternoon – bluescreen.

I restarted my computer. BOINC runs ok – obviously I lost two GPUGRID Wus – but I am not able to restart GRIDCOIN Research. I get a runtime error: “This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.”
I have downloaded the Gridcoin installation file “GridcoinResearch.msi” but unfortunately I am not able to repair the gridcoinresearch.exe (Reapiar Gridcoin Research)
I get the following message: “La cuante especificada ya existe. “ Something like: “The account does already exist” Which is true as I have run the client for a week now.
Any suggestions, how to proceed? I have not made any back-up since I started last week, and I do not like to lose all the coins already minded.

Yeah, you need to create a new gridcoinresearch.conf file. Once you have it created and filled in appropriately, you should be fine. I always make a copy of the file and name it gridcoincoinresearchBACKUP.conf and swap it in when this happens (after renaming it, of course.)

Thanks SKUMatt, this solved my problem! I am up and running again: Staking. Next reward in 500 days... I hope this is not true:-)

No problem. It was only a couple months ago I was asking the same questions as you. The Gridcoin Wiki and this Gridcoin support forum are good sources of information when you run into trouble or just want to know more about how Gridcoin works.

Just a short status update: now I have 10k GRC.

According to here:
https://www.cryptonator.com/converter


You have...10000 GRC = 169.9 USD or
10000 GRC = 79.9 EUR

Then there is something wrong with the converter. In the real world 1USD < 1EUR.

Just thought I'd point out the obvious error in your math/logic here and try not to laugh.

It's worth more USDs, because USDs are worth less.

Cheers. :)

Any secrets to your earning speed, Retvari? I know you run more GPUs and CPUs than I, but I'm just curious. I've been part of Gridcoin since February and I am nearly to 8k GRC. I run GPUGrid on a 980Ti, a 970, and two 960s. I also run World Community Grid on my CPUs: ~12 cores of recent Intel design and 2 Odroid XU4s running 16 cores total on Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex™-A15 2Ghz and Cortex™-A7 Octa core CPUs.

Just reached 5k GRC today.

In celebration and to thank for the help of KSUMatt and Retvari Zoltan to set the Gridcoin client up, I would like to give 5 times 10 GRC away to kick-start five new users. So PM me your Gridcoin direction and the BOINC projects your helping and I will send to the first 5 persons 10 coins each.

Any secrets to your earning speed, Retvari?

There's no secrets. My magnitude is 1200, and the GridCoin client is always running on my laptop.
You have to make sure that you have the same CPID across all of your projects.

Any secrets to your earning speed, Retvari?

Mine is 12. :D

My magnitude is 320, where did you get all your hardware retvari?

10000 GRC

Magnitude has increased recently with my replacement of the 980Ti with the 1080 and the replacement of my 970 with the 1070. Also mostly crunching Einstein now so that has probably affected my magnitude as well. Looking forward to Pascal support here...

My gridcoinresearch.exe disappeared tonight! Means I let the wallet run 24 hours and this morning it was closed.

When I tried to start it by the shortcut to gridcoinresearch.exe, I receive the following massage:
“The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that Is unavailable.
Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package “GridCoinResearch(2).msi” in the box below”

What happen? Strange…
Happily, I found it again on my computer where it should be… and it is running again.

10k GRC

15k GRC

80k GRC :)
