GridcoinStats Faucet https://www.gridcoinstats.eu/faucet is coming up with the message "You can't claim from this faucet when using a proxy "

Has anyone else come across this?

I'm not using a proxy and it still comes up.

It has only just started doing this.

--

I thought this might be a Linux Mint problem, but I have checked and the problem also occurs on Windows 10.

Neither of the machines in question are using a proxy.

It doesn't seem to matter what browser is being used either, I have tried several.

And the same message is coming up from https://www.gridcoin.ch/faucet as well.

Although it is easy to export the different addresses we have to receive gridcoins. It is impossible for me to know how to import the addresses in the wallet that I have on another machine.

On the work PC I created a new address with the wallet since my old address did not accept me to receive GRC to my wallet from an exchange. But I have the wallet open on another PC and I don't get my addresses there.

Is there a way to import the addresses?

Thank you for helping

I have a strange error and cannot run gridcoinresearchd. I had upgraded to v5.4.8.0 from gridcoinresearchd_5.4.8.0.bullseye-1_armhf.deb on a Raspberry Pi 2 before these problems started and got payment from grcpool.com. I have no idea what has changed so that it doesn't work now. Now I cannot e.g. login to grcpool.

$ gridcoinresearchd getinfo
Gridcoin: Error initializing settings.

I can also not run: gridcoinresearchd because I get the same error as when I run it with getinfo.

$ gridcoinresearchd --version
Gridcoin Core v5.4.8.0

I normally start using systemd.

Hello all, I've downloaded the wallet and BOINC and am ready to get started crunching for science and GRC. I just need the initial starting funds, and would like to offer my hand at poetry in return for that starting amount! A faucet seems to tedious, and this seems more fun :P

So essentially:

1. Give me a prompt
   1. a word, a concept, a feeling...
2. A style (optional)
   1. Haiku, Dr. Seuss, freeform, limerick...

and I shall create a poem for hopefully your delight!

edit:

forgot to add my wallet address = S44di32up2aZj7pVUK1SrAxi7EcAJnEw5Z

Now that southxchange is gone, are there any other exchanges out there that let you do GRC to LTC exchange? I did some searching but came up empty. I'll lose so much in fees if i change this LTC into BTC and then into GRC.

Have been using BOINC for about 10yrs and now would like to ask if someone could start me off with however many I might need to start a beacon. I had gridcoin running but didn't look further until recently only to find out I needed a 'seed'. My pool wallet:

Thank you!

Why is it that we don't hear about crypto currencies using gridcoin source code?

If there were more coins using source of gridcoin, it would be the most efficient crypto currency in total because it could mine multiple coins simultaneously.

Currently, gridcoin and banano can be mined at the same time.

*To be precise, banano is not mining but distribution.

sorry poor english.

Thanks

[5.4.8.0], 2024-04-10, leisure

https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/releases/tag/5.4.8.0

This release is a maintenance release that adds checkpoints post the unintended fork when 5.4.6.0 was introduced. Given that some folks upgraded to 5.4.7.0 too late for their wallets to correct out of the fork, some 5.4.7.0 clients continue to spam the network. This will largely squelch that on 5.4.8.0 nodes. It also will force the forked 5.4.7.0 or below clients to reset their blockchain and resync from zero when they upgrade to 5.4.8.0 and run it for the first time.

It is highly encouraged to upgrade to this release.

Hello like-minded people. Here's my story why I can't help science anymore and use grc. I live in Ukraine and after the latest Russian attacks on the energy infrastructure, both at home and at work there are terrible interruptions in the supply of electricity. I can no longer help with research. Also, I can't sync my grc wallet. Trying to sync the wallet took about a week due to the fact that the power is turned on for several hours a day and when I reached 82% I got the error "blkindex.dat" Now I need to start syncing the wallet first and it looks like it will take a few more weeks and not sure that there will be no errors again. Well, it looks like my journey is over. I really liked the feeling of being involved in something big and actually needed by humanity. Of course, science will not lose much if one person stops volunteering for the common good, but... I tried. Forgive me for writing all this here, I just wanted to speak out

Does anyone know what the magnitude is roughly for an RTX 4060? I've just started with gridcoin and I'm curious to know how much revenue I'll have per month.

As a nudge towards making gridcoin a commercial currency you can use and buy stuff with. And as a thank you, and incentives towards crunching more. These universities, companies and what not could sell T-shirts, pens, beach towels, water bottles, phone cases etc.

There's a lot of marketing opportunities with merchandise. "I'm contributing to finding a cure for cancer. Right now by just having an app on my PC" scan QR code to learn more. And we could get stuff for our earned gridcoins etc

My staking frequency is currently about 11 times per day. I am getting a ton of notifications about incoming transactions. When I have an immature stake listed, that plus my available balance equals a higher balance than what I see listed when I am not staking.

What I mean is, currently I know that I have about 2066 GRC in my wallet. Then this morning I get notified I have ~1168 available and ~923 immature. My total is 2092. Then, when this stake cycle is complete and I have no immature stake, my balance drops back down to 2066. So apparently I did not receive any staking reward. I've seen this happen over and over for the past several days. Can someone explain what I'm seeing please?

FYI: I use the helpful tool baretail.exe on my Windows pc. I use it to read the debug.log in real time. Was probably on a fork for a long time, used Gridcoin v5.4.5. After updating to v5.4.7 I lost about 250 GRC.
Now it runs better, but there are still many orphan blocks to be seen from time to time. At the moment much more orphan than best blocks.
I deleted peers.dat and currently have >50 active connections.

This is great moments to add Gridcoin coin to others Exchange. Please say this message to create company or community of Gridcoin. And add to binance or other big system... Please vote Today price is 0.00x daily about 200 USD obtain And where daily trading where big about 2000 or. 20000 The price will 0.01x or 0.1 1usd per 1 Gridcoin. Why not

I have used this faucet over the last few days. I am aware that it pays out when you reach 2 GRC or more. I have reached that amount several hours ago, but have not received funds into my wallet yet.

Any ideas?

https://www.gridcoinstats.eu/faucet gives error and doesn't pay when I run it ordinary Chromium. The error message is on a red background:

Failed, please try again.

Error: '"INVALID_TID"'

It does work when I run it in an Incognito window.

I have requested GRC from https://gridcoin.ch/faucet and it says it gives me, but they don't show up in the wallet. This used to work before a few days ago. Then the increase showed up almost immediately. I know the increase is only in the third decimal some times.

I have two Raspberry Pi 2:s with armv7l CPU:s that have finished several tasks for the project Einstein@home, but these tasks are not noticed by grcpool. Other tasks for the project Asteroids@home have finished on the same computers. Einstein@home tasks have finished on a Raspberry Pi 4 B. All computers use grcpool.com as account manager. Could it be that grcpool causes the armv7l to receive tasks for aarch64? Einstein@home used to work on armv7l before I started to use grcpool.

It appears to me that most of the projects on there are fairly old. In that time, there must have been advances in algorithms witness what is going on in AI right now. I can't recall seeing a new project there within the last year or two. There appears to be like 30 projects on there, but BOINC has been around for twenty years why aren't there like 150?

Hi the update is missing the Raspberry version, both the chd and the Qt armhf. we are stuck and stuck at 5.4.5.0

Not that I can really complain, but is there a reason that I'm suddenly staking once a day for the past week with only 13.410k GRC? Up until last Tuesday I was consistently staking 1-2 times a month, and this made sense for the balance I have. Only in the past 6 days did it start ramping up to something crazy fast with this low of a balance (MAG's at 13, so actual research rewards aren't too great; maybe 1-4.5 GRC per stake at this rate, but the 10GRC stake reward is always welcome).

Or is it just purely wild luck?

(Wallet version: 5.4.7.0)

I used the Faucet. But not enough. Not looking to get rich or anything. Just more ways to earn GRC since it seems limited for me. Just not many options that I've found. I currently have like 2... maybe 2.25ish give or take 0.15.

Wanting to at least get around 10ish or 14(Just cause it's my lucky number lol). Just a reasonable amount to stake would do. Can't remember if minimum to stake was 5 or 10 though. If even those 2 numbers. Lol But I'll check whatever anyone has out. I'd rather actually earn it over take it for free if I can. Just how I am. 🤷 But I mean if anyone is feeling generous, and there's no other way.. I'll put my Wallet addy here below. But please do send any ways to actually earn it if you have it. I'm only aware of a discord faucet, and the faucet on Gridcoin.(ch).. And I have spent literal hours looking for more options.

Thank you in advance for any links, tips, everything. I've just been sitting on this 2 GRC or so now for a little while, about a month or 2 since I found GRC, and wanna put it to good use. But not gonna lie.. I don't always remember to claim the faucet. Lol

Hey everybody. I am new to Gridcoin, but I used to run boinc for a while now.

Can someone send me some gridcoins for beacon?

[5.4.7.0], 2024-03-13, leisure

https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/releases/tag/5.4.7.0

This release is solely to implement the disconnection of version 5.4.5.0 and below nodes as the last cleanup action due to the inadvertent fork caused at 3190603/4 as a result of the inadvertent protocol change introduced in 5.4.6.0. A more detailed explanation is in order:

The default contract version is supposed to change from 2 to 3 at the block v13 hardfork, which was envisioned to be set as part of the Natasha milestone release. The way this is accomplished is that the default contract version is incremented to 3, and then logic is used to ensure the contract version actually used is 2 until the v13 fork point is reached. The fork point for v13 was not set in version 5.4.6.0, as it was intended to be 100% protocol compatible with 5.4.0.0 - 5.4.5.0, i.e. a leisure upgrade; however, a coding omission caused tx messages sent from 5.4.6.0 nodes to be version 3 instead of version 2 immediately. This caused nodes 5.4.5.0 and below to reject the transaction containing the message and the block causing a fork.

This mistake is mine and mine alone, and I am regretful about it. This is the first forking incident we have had in a number of years, but I take this type of event very seriously. Regression testing is done as well as longer time testnet testing and some mainnet testing before that, but this particular type of issue is hard to catch.

By the time this actually occurred on mainnet, there was far more weight on the 5.4.6.0 side of the fork than the 5.4.5.0 side, so it made the most sense to continue forward with the 5.4.6.0 side, and require everybody that had not already upgraded to upgrade, essentially turning 5.4.6.0 into a mandatory.

All but a few folks have upgraded now to 5.4.6.0, but we still have a few nodes (with aggregrate difficulty ~ 1.0) on the 5.4.5.0 fork and these nodes are connecting to 5.4.6.0 peers. Given that the fork common block is fairly deep at this point (the fork point was at 3190603/4 and the head of the chain is at 3194579 as of this writing), this is causing a lot of unnecessary network traffic between 5.4.5.0 and 5.4.6.0 nodes to pass orphan blocks around.

At this point it makes sense to implement an automatic disconnect for all nodes 5.4.5.0 and below. The code already disconnected nodes below 5.4.0.0 as the protocol version in wallets less than 5.4.0.0 is out of date. Because the protocol version was not incremented from 5.4.5.0 to 5.4.6.0, we have to distinguish and disconnect here based on the node sub version string, which contains 5.4.x (and is also displayed in the peers table).

Note this is similar in concept to what we do in a normal mandatory, where we normally disconnect pre-mandatory version nodes after a grace period from the hard fork height. Obviously the conditions are not ideal here, but this is the best answer at this point.

This should solve the elevated CPU usage and network bandwidth of wallets that are receiving all of the orphan block traffic.

This release also includes the small adjustment to the Fraction class to solve the compilation problems on Arch.

I'm having an issue with my gridcoin app. I'm unable to start a new research agent, it just shows me one I had. The back up of the wallet didn't work, so now I'm unable to do anything
