RE: Gridcoin - The Cryptocurrency with the Power to Drive Modern Science

in #gridcoin8 years ago (edited)

Interesting post on GPU mining, can I ask you for some numbers, could you approximate if it's worthwhile running a single GPU to mine some coins. Can it earn like 10Grids per day :D I'm missing my 5 7970 :D also is there a correlation between the benchmark numbers on GPU's and their results mining.

++ following both of you :)

Sort:  
  1. A single GPU can certainly still earn 10 GRC per day (probably even 40-50, if it's high-end).

  2. There is a correlation between benchmark numbers and mining, FP32 performance usually being the most important (but not always, some projects depend on FP64).

Are you free for chat, I just started some Boinc stuff :) and I'm still e-learning everything, currently doing some 4core task :D when I wanted to GPU mine :D Could you help me with the setup. I saw you were mining the Milkyway too :)

sounds fun, are there free 500 coins like in the videos :D I'm needing some 5000 coins :D

help me :D I do wish there was a free gridcoin just waiting in the wallet after it synced in. Or something, how much work equals a GRC ? or is it just a problem of the uphill start.

If not can you help with some basics, first of all how do i differentiate tasks, GPU/CPU how can I setup different projects, can they work in tandem, some numbers like Prefferable free space, other such details. I'd lie to run this for at least 4 hours a day and at least make some gains, for those 70C my CPU gets at :D

  1. You differentiate tasks at your project's website. When you log in to your account there, you can choose to crunch CPU and/or GPU tasks
  2. You can work at many projects at the same time. BOINC automatically balances the workload and requests more work, as necessary
  3. 1 GB is plenty of HDD space for most projects

I saw the videos (half of them) of the gridcoin and saw that I can edit the preferences of the project, can I run the same project twice one for GPU and one for CPU? My GPU isn't working, but it's probably because of the task, also since I don't ave a GRC wallet, will my tasks get counted, they are over 50% at the moment.

Got the GRC app, going to get the blocks now and hopefully not find my pc melted on the floor wen I get back, the room is already heating up with the nice air :) I need to dust my PC :D
