Gridcoin-Tasks VS ethminer

Anyone interested should also look into Gridcoin, you can get some crypto back in addition to doing some good science.

Gridcoin. Support science. https://gridcoin.us

Been around longer than Eth has. You can check out the mining/crunching guides at gridcoin.us. If you run into any questions hop on the discord people are happy to help

Generally in terms of best to run for earning GRC it's math > physics > health augmented by CPU/GPU. You can get an idea of which those are by looking at the whitelist on gridcoin.us. I would avoid sidock for pis, iirc their workunits are very read/write heavy which isn't great for an SD-card based system.

Gridcoin - This cryptocurrency rewards users for participating in BOINC, a platform for distributed computing that supports a variety of scientific research projects.

I run BOINC with Gridcoin… but you’re likely not going to make much, if anything, after electricity. It’s for science tho :)

And there's rewards for doing it - https://gridcoin.us/

https://gridcoin.us. It’s a project that incentivizes distributive computing.

I noticed Universe@home is no longer showing in my wallet whitelist, but cannot find anything on it being removed from GRC. This might be a dumb question, but can anyone give me a link to what happened? I don't see anything on this sub and https://gridcoin.us/ still shows it whitelisted, but I know that's slow to update at times.

Most miners set up their miners in windows or in this HiveOS. When I started I was able to setup a miner called ethminer on ubuntu, however this miner is open, it does not take fees, but at the same time is not well optimized and other miners do better jobs at the cost of paying fees for using it.

OK I found this https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/issues/2001 I will try this fix

I discovered ethminer that time and was happy to see great example of collaboration in crypto dev community, it was outdated for newest CUDA, so I found nsfminer, that's the fork updated by one of previous contributors. It has no DEV fee and based on original ethminer, so I pretty much trust the code, even if it has no maintenance since mid of 2021.

here is the miner they all are based on https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer

Also, ethminer is the best option on linux
