Voting Abstention

I looked through the voting guide and couldn't find much info on Abstaining on voting, and how it works in our voting system. I'm not really clear on how Abstention works procedurally. I know Abstaining can sometimes be counted as a No vote in the case that the Abstaining votes would tip the balance, since Abstaining is a form of disagreement, just not to the level of outright opposition. Procedurally, some systems only count them in the form of total votes counted, if a certain percentage of the vote is needed to either pass or fail, if either yes or no doesn't meet the threshold percentage of vote it goes back to general vote until a consensus is reached. I was just was wanting to get a good understanding of what our system looks like. I appreciate the info in advance.

Community Poll: Name of a 0.00000001 GRC

Simple and easy: A 0.00000001 GRC used to be called a "Halford". Should we rename it a "Jim"?

No further explanation needed.

edit: apparently some insight is needed based on a recent comment: Jim is the name of our main developer that has helped reshape the codebase into what it is today.

Want to start solo mining grc wallet/BOINC but don't have GRC coin to send beacon.

Can anyone sell it to me, I don't even know how much I need and I don't want to join pool because I have been donating for many years and want to continue on this account.

I have FIRO on my hot wallet that I can send in exchange for the same value.

Back to the roots

hi all,

i am Michael, Team Gridcoin from first. I am pretty sad about the standing of Gridcoin that days, because i still think "it is the best way to invest energy for mining coins".

However, what about change Coinsign back to very first?

i loved it.

Is the scraper for determining magnitude down?

Hey all, I've noticed that my magnitude has been at a constant 14 for weeks now. I find this odd as I don't crunch consistently: I only do 3-5 hrs/day of crunching during workdays and ~24 hrs/day on weekends.

I also have recent average credit for projects like folding@home and sidock@home which I have not crunched for at all in the last 2-3 weeks

Wondering if there's an issue with the scraper.

Coinbase says that assets listing is free. What is stopping us to file for that exchange?

https://preview.redd.it/8tpi2whbj0zd1.png?width=1042&format=png&auto=webp&s=903290b4f24d6041415c4ef917d71c50a8f628bd

Seriously, the other day I asked the same question and the answer was that exchanges want too much money for listing the coin. Well, apparently Coinbase has been free for that purpose for a while.

Wallet

Back in March 12, 2024, i advertised my beacon. During this time, the wallet was going through a fork. Fast forward today, I’m trying to advertise my beacon, but I can’t because “Beacon advertisement transaction already in mempool”. Does anyone know of a solution for me to able to get rid of that March 12, 2024 advertisement?

Thank you

Beacon Awaiting Confirmation ... 3 days so far

Hi. I'm new to Gridcoin. I believe I've followed all the steps correctly, but it's been past 48 hours so some help or advice would be comforting.

Here's my CPID: https://www.gridcoinstats.eu/cpid/497552d7da933b2e88b804ed886f59e6/beacon#subMenu I do find it odd that it says Beacon Status:Verified @ at the top of the page, but then at the bottom of the page under Beacons it says Status: Unverified. Here's a link to the advertised block: https://www.gridcoinstats.eu/block/3410664

Here's a screenshot of my wallet: https://i.ibb.co/xC2kt37/Screenshot-from-2024-11-03-03-02-24.png

It says difficulty 24.608. (It just went up after the screenshot.) Does that mean it's going to take an extra long time to get a beacon verified?


edit: It just now says no active beacon. I guess it cleared itself? I didn't get my GRC refunded...

I click Solo -> my email address -> Advertise Beacon -> type in wallet password -> Nothing. Nothing happens. Next is greyed out. It's not working.

Here's another screenshot. Is it supposed to give a red explanation mark? https://i.ibb.co/9gdrDTG/Screenshot-from-2024-11-03-05-47-48.png

Cannot obtain a lock on data directory

I am trying to use gridcoin container on my unraid server, it got deployed ok but when i connect to noVNC i get this error

https://preview.redd.it/5adiiufxp2wd1.png?width=575&format=png&auto=webp&s=5dc4c79be49dc6a71ee7d511a61594ca22aa5e51

When i check the logs of the container i see the following:
"QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-default'

Gridcoin: Cannot obtain a lock on data directory "/headless/.GridcoinResearch". Gridcoin is probably already running and using that directory."

I removed the container, cleaned appdata and also removed BOINC to see if that would fix it, but i still get the same problem. Any ideas?

Can’t send beacon

Is anybody able to send me some GRC so I can get rewards from BOINC? I can’t find a single way to buy it in Canada, and can’t figure out how to make it work with pool mining. Keep getting email mismatch even though my BOINC Manager is set to grcpool and I’ve used the same email for everything.

Why doesn't sending GRC just withdraw it from the address but instead withdraws all, sends the amount you want to send to the address and returns your old balance minus the withdraw minus fee to another address of the sender?

Getting Started

I’m new to Gridcoin (but a longtime BOINC user). I’ve joined the Gridcoin teams on my whitelisted projects and successfully installed the wallet. Staking is complete. Unfortunately, I have been unable to sync my wallet despite intense troubleshooting over the last two weeks. I have tried both solo and pool mode. Since I still have 0 coins, I presume I need to use pool mode for a while. I have set up my account manager, but have been unable to add an email through my wallet. Every project showed an error “email mismatch”. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.
