RE: Shmoogle's 'Mine all the things' Project! - Issue 3

To move from grcpool to solo mining.
Firstly,

  • It's recommended to have at least a balance of 5000 grc, this will allow you to stake on average once a month. 700 grc may be too low to guarentee a stake within 6 months.

Secondly,

  • You would need to remove ALL projects connected to GRC pool from your boinc client
  • Then either use a Boinc account manager like BAMstats and add the account manager to boinc client, and use the BamStats website to add projects to your account.
  • OR Individually register to each project you want to crunch with the same email address and add each one to the Boinc client.

Thridly,

  • Add your Email Address use with your boinc accounts and your CPID attached to said accounts to your GridcoinReasearch.conf file

This is just an overview of what you need to do to switch to solo crunching, There are likely many little details that would make it easier to understand but I figured I'd not write a 3000 word post on it.

Sort:  

You could follow the solo cruching guide on the gridcoin.us website but it's pretty... messy and somethings may be out of date or just incorrect or confusing.

I'm working on new guides but they won't be done for at least a week or two.

Excellent, thanks.
I did already... the problem is that I my wallet still show INVESTOR and I do not know how the change the "GridcoinReasearch.conf" since I use linux and seem that the name of the file is different...
Anyway, I think difficulty has increased a lot lately and even if I put 5000 it looks pretty difficult to stake once a month...
Thanks for your help. Following you.
