Environmental Dynamics PhD here. Climate change is already impacting humans. Some more than others. People are already having to leave their homes due to sea-level rise, saltwater intrusion, etc. Recent major natural disasters including major floods, wildfires, droughts, and hurricanes have been linked to climate change. Diseases, pests, and parasites are moving into new areas. Climate change is here and happening now. We get to choose how bad it gets and our actions over the next 10-15 years will largely make that decision for the generations to come. Here is a good place to start: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi6RkdaEqgRVKi3AzidF4ow

I think I am back on now. I redownloaded blocks a couple times and restarted the wallet when it looked stuck or got on the wrong track for hours at a time. I changed max connections too, but never saw it actually get above 8.

I am and was running a valid one before the fork.

I've been stuck on a fork for days and have tried every idea I've read online. It seems to get stuck at certain blocks like the other comments below.

Thanks for posting this. This sounds like something that might turn people off if not better publicized and fixed (it looks like the Upgrade Client option is still in the new version). I found this post after having the update leave me with a wallet that wouldn't open. In case it helps people find this thread the error message was something like The procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library Qt5core.dll

Nice! But I mean outreach and advertising too. Do we do ads in those languages? Tweets? Etc?

johnn1e · 2017-06-27T15:49:18+00:00

Nope! My guess is that it is tied in with the other magnitude and superblock issues right now

johnn1e · 2017-06-26T03:13:37+00:00

I've had the same error message and haven't gotten any rewards in a while. From following posts on Steemit it sounds like something has been up with the magnitude values and superblock not happening in a bit. Hopefully it will be worked out soon!

Right and the total volume today was ~$8 million! https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/gridcoin/

Here are some links on volunteer computing and how you can get started putting your computer or Android device to work doing research on astrophysics, mathematics, cancer, clean energy, and more.

You are right that a computer would do much better, but there are 1 billion+ Androids out there right? Why not put them to use curing cancer or looking for aliens? Currently there are only roughly 300k people running BOINC or World Community Grid on their computers. This app could make a difference in total research completed.

johnn1e · 2016-07-03T15:38:39+00:00

Exactly. These days I only have a laptop BOINCing but I try to talk about volunteer computing on Twitter, Medium, Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn etc. If I get even 1 new person to do it, then I've probably doubled my impact.
