RE: Gridcoin Research Wallet Tips and Tricks for New Users
That's unfortunate that your computer 💻 can't cope with the work units. Did you try more than one project?
Did you try without Virtual Box?
Earn 1.5% APR
You can always invest in thr coin and earn a steady 1.5% APR on your assets. It's a good way of supporting the community and invest in a coin that has infinite growth potentials.
Yeah, I think it was the LHC@Home that taxed the computer most. Maybe I could try again by removing that one. But having my computer lock up on me is not a good thing, so it's probably best not to try on this computer.
Not sure how to do that as I thought the the work units are packaged as virtual box units?
If I started as a researcher and now my magnitude is 0, I'm kind of stuck, right? Would I have to somehow set up a different wallet and send my gridcoin there to just do the staking only?
There seems to be more people noticing this very issue with other programs on Mac, Excessive Wakeups @ Official Mac Forum.
Regarding Virtual Box, it's a selection of with or without Virtual Box for the Windows Boinc client at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php. But it doesn't seem to be for Mac.
Regarding the 0 Magnitude issue. You can edit the configuration file and comment out the path to the BOINC software. This will make the client change to Investor Mode and you will not have any issues with staking pur interest blocks instead.
I noticed running virtual box froze my system. I had to discontinue vm and running direct.
