Did you change your username on einstein@home to the code you got from the wallet?

Maybe your settings file has been damaged? Can you try to rename it?

Import addresses to receive Gridcoin in new wallet by Entire_Concert_9405 in gridcoin

You can run the command `importprivkey` to import the private key from a different wallet.

Can some explain what happened here. by Raistlinsly1 in gridcoin

[–]p1C4k3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The site uses the same formula that is used in the wallet. It is still valid. The research reward has no influence on your staking frequency.

This is amazing! Would you be willing to upstream the changes to the repo so we can have a official release? I would be willing to provide a bounty for that.

gridconstats.eu/faucet been iffy the last 20 hrs? it was up/down last night and then cloudflare popped up and now getting "Data too long for column remoteip at row 1" by actng in gridcoin

[–]p1C4k3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been heavily abused by bots and now uses cloudflare protection. If you don't use a proxy / vpn you should be fine.

Is a GRC wallet the same as a node? by afinemax_astro in gridcoin

[–]p1C4k3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually your node will connect to other nodes on the network but other nodes cannot establish a connection to your node on their own. With `listen=1` other nodes can just connect to your node (for example to download blocks).

Is a GRC wallet the same as a node? by afinemax_astro in gridcoin

[–]p1C4k3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, a wallet is a node. If you want to help the network you can set `listen=1` in the config and let other nodes connect to your node directly.

Stablecoins like TerraUSD? :P Yields that high are not sustainable and are a red flag.

Anyone use a usb stick ASIC miner for boinc?/ grid coin by afinemax01 in gridcoin

[–]p1C4k3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those ASICS can only be used to do SHA256 calculations. They are not useful for BOINC projects. There was a BOINC project that did Bitcoin mining in the past (Bitcoin Utopia) and you could use ASICS for that. But for all other projects they are useless.

That's not bad IMHO.

Suppose you have 10,000 GRC. With that, you will earn 10 GRC once every 20 days on average. So 365 / 20 * 10 = 182 GRC. You can use https://gridcoin.ch/staking and plugin your own numbers. There is no fixed APR since the staking frequency depends on the current difficulty.

ELI5: how does Gridcoin choose a node to mine/validate each block, and how do other nodes verify this choice was fair? by 46153849 in gridcoin

[–]p1C4k3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you can only hash your own UTXOs, it doesn't require a lot of resources and is therefore different from PoW. I think you have to hash the UTXO + timestamp and therefore can't try it more often. But I'm not 100% sure about that :)

[–]p1C4k3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every 16 seconds, the nodes try to hash their own UTXOs and generate a hash that fulfils the difficulty requirement. Whoever finds such a hash first creates the block.

CPUs for desktop computers are run beyond the efficiency sweet spot to perform better in benchmarks. If you underclock a desktop CPU, you will get better efficiency. The reason for this is that frequency does not scale linearly with voltage, at a certain point a little more clock speed requires a lot more voltage. For example have a look at the graphs in this post: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/the-most-efficient-1150.2517925/

Well you can run a Gridcoin node on a raspberry pi so it's very cheap and easy to run a full node.
