RE: Gridcoin Community Hangout #027 - 01th Apr 2017 @ 9PM GMT (RSVP & Suggest topics!)
if have kept having these questions about gridcoin. i keep my pc on with world ibm grid community, the one that contributes to find cure for health ailments but i would think i am gathering some gridcoin for doing that. i don't know how to do mining, so was looking for really easy way then so that. i see that i have gather points on the platform but what are those points? are they convertible to gridcoin. does it mean i may have some gridcoin somewhere?
You have e.g. credits and RAC in the BOINC projects (here WCG). RAC (recent average credit) is used by Gridcoin to determine how much reward you get. You can find a tutorial how to set up Gridcoin and its requirements on gridcoin.us
thank you alot, i will check! so how you mean is essence is that my points are convertible to actual gridcoin? how about the credits i have racked up before setting up gridcoin are those lost?
rephrase your 1st question, I don't understand what you mean
credits before: normally, Gridcoin "remembers" done BOINC work for the past ca. 6 months. I think this should also work for your case
Your average (current) RAC is rewarded, historical computation is not rewarded unfortunately.
i wish i understood it well . Do you mean like all the pc donation done before i set up the grid coin setup will not count?
Older (3+months) computation will not count, what counts is your current average RAC you're contribution (which does take a few weeks to build up).
