Thats strange... I have 5.1k staking fulltime and it is staking every day or so. Are you upto date on your wallet and have the latest snapshot?

Not yet but I plan to install some Firepro S9150s I found on Ebay for that sweet double precision. The server can fit 3 but the electricity would be astronomical and my PSUs would no longer be redundant.

Great Post! I would change your x5650 assumed price though. I bought a HP DL380 G6 with 2x x5650 Processors, 16GB Ram, and 2x 146GB SAS 10k HDDs for 250€ (Approx $310 USD) last month. Its loud and not

This is excellent! The sooner users can actually use their GRC for goods trading the sooner we can see an increase in its uptake!

I will never use C-Cex again. Had bitcoin I was going to use to buy more GRC stolen out of my account despite 2FA being enabled and had absolutely no recourse.

Universe@home is having downtime at the moment due to the meltdown/spectre issues its having. "I have stopped new tasks generation for few weeks until the problems will be solved." -Project Admin

It'll weather it fine, only issue is that our value is directly linked to BTC so as it declines so do we. The only way around this is if we found a way to get direct Fiat to GRC, or atleast more trading

Congrats on staking! Maybe you could consider mining just from the Science aspect of it. Every little bit of extra science crunching helps our efforts :)

I can second this, I have an Odroid XU4 and its getting a RAC of 13k, around 1 GRC a day, running fulltime. I was looking to creating a cluster for compiling anyway, if i ever pull the trigger will post

We have to be carefull not to overpromise, and get followers on our own terms and facts. Throwing up non-factual buzz words might get a quick flash but then it will be gone. Education and natural growth

JUQUEEN... Oh Germany smh

I think the team reqirement is a technical requirement that needs overcoming... Its not as easy as just saying lets not use the Gridcoin team anymore, I think it is there to reference RAC against other

@dutch Are you saying we are PoR mining again?...

While I agree, we have a relatively low trading base and it isnt feasible for the centralised exchanges to have us to any other pairs. It is the chicken or the egg conundrum, we just need to continue spreading

I find this very interesting, and a what I see as a strong step towards getting adoption from businesses and enterprise to start contributing to boinc and earning GRC. A step that hopefully helps to kickoff

Universe@home on my Odroid XU4 fulltime gets between 13-14k RAC, which translates to 1,14GRC a day. Not too bad for such a tiny system

Thanks for the feedback! Noted this down for future research, although plase see my short answers below In my experience, PCs are often not replaced in the office due to broken components but more

No problem thanks for consolidating

And this is the information that I will look to evaluate. If the community seems open to it. I think what we have going for us at this time is the fact that the IBM World Community Grid was marketed heavily

Ahh the search for knowledge... its what brought us to this in the first place
