RE: Quantitative Analysis of Staking Times in Gridcoin V8 - Live at Block 1010000 with v3.6.0.2
This is confusing. I just implement the Boinc & Gridcoin setup from your introduction post for newbies. It taught you how to set it up, today I'm still mining for about a week. I still do not have a cpid number yet. With all these changes I'm lost. Maybe I will just mine for fun and help science since my lap top is a few years old. Or should I don't worry about these thing till this update shakes out ?
If you are just starting out, and do not have a lot of hardware, there is no real need to worry about these changes. You can continue to go at it solo, but it means you will have to buy some GRC to help you stake. Alternatively, you can join the Gridcoin pool instead which will do the staking for you and pay you out your cut.

If you do chose to go solo, you will need to get your beacon sent. Given you have been running BOINC, you certainly have a CPID already, it may just not have been registered with the Gridcoin network. Pop into our Slack or IRC channel if you would like a hand.
Yes I will look into finding the slack or IRC channel soon to get more help . If I can not find the CPID number. Thanks and upvoted.
