RE: Current Problem with Rewards on Gridcoin and proposed solutions
Well you can make some educated guesses, like in the example if project A has 100 crunchers, and project B has 10 (assuming all crunchers are active) you have a better chance of getting higher rewards on project B. Of course that assumes the projects are both populated with 'average' crunchers, if project A is populated only by users on one laptop each, and project B is populated only by users with 10 servers, then its not so obvious which project your contribution would net you a greater share of.
Of course, ususally there are a range of users with different capability hardware on projects, so counting the number of crunchers is generally a good guide as to where to point hardware for profitability.
Yes, but there the RAC helps out doesn't it? Just the number of crunchers is a simplification. Also the type of projects GPU/CPU is involved.
RAC unfortunately is not comparible from one project to another (though that was the original idea of RAC), so unfortunately its not much help.
Yes if you have a project woth GPU work, pointing a CPU at it will not make hardly any GRC (but still does science).
Ah. Yes indeed. Never really considered that. So the advise to look for projects with the lowest teamrac is incomplete? Several sources point in that direction. For example the pool. Is there a way to get to the RAC calculations of the projects?
Im not going to say the pools advice is wrong, Im a long time Gridcoiner and come from a time before pools existed, so I only ever solo mined. The pools are run by good people and Im sure they arent giving bad advice.
