Gridcoin is an open source cryptocurrency (Ticker: GRC) which securely rewards volunteer computing performed on the BOINC platform.

https://gridcoin.us/

 

Via this docker you can access your wallet via VNC or NoVNC.

More info about the docker container:

https://hub.docker.com/r/sublivion/gridcoinwalletgui

 

Remember to backup your wallet and conf from time to time!

 

You can install separate BOINC container to use with this container.

 

Gridcoin blockchain is around ~4GB, so the wallet needs to sync the whole blockchain in order to work.

How to setup BOINC for POOL crunching with this container:

Just follow the detailed pool crunching instructions in https://gridcoin.us/

You don't need to specify BOINC DATA DIR with pool crunching.

 

How to setup BOINC for SOLO crunching with this container:

You can install separate BOINC container (if not using already) and specify BOINC DATA DIR to Gridcoin container (XML just updated to include boinc data dir location). If you don't have BOINC DATA DIR in your container options you can manually add it yourself)

 

Point Host Path to correct location.

 

You can then press the "beacon" button in the Gridcoin wallet and do the steps needed for solo crunching.

Follow solo crunching guide in https://gridcoin.us/ for more detailed instructions.

How can I copy from de VNC display and paste in my local browser?

 

For example to copy an address from the wallet to paste in the destination of a transfer in my local web page?

 

Thanks

Any plan to update the image to the current wallet version? @Sublivion

@Asghan probably not as it's only leisure... if I have some extra time someday maybe I could then upgrade but I doubt it.

Do you have a public repo somewhere? I can probably take care of of update

I have updated the image now, do not have public repo atm.

Hi, since a few days the container won't start anymore. Is there any change on the repo-side necessary? I didn't changed anything on my side, except the update to unraid 7.3.1.

I can connect via vnc, see the blockchain loading, can unlock the wallet and then comes a popup with a few lines of text and a second later the container crashes.

The containerlog:

text error warn system array login

I am having the exact same issue. Nothing changed other than being on Unraid 7.3.1.

I tried to look at /dockerstartup/vnc_startup.sh inside the container, but the container crashes too quickly for me to get to the script. Having a public repository would really help in this case.

I was finally able to open the file. It crashes at line 117 which is the call to gridcoinresearch. The logs in /dockerstartup/vnc_startup.log do not give any useful information.

Could be related to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/gridcoin/comments/1u0qsqp/emergency_5510_hotfix_release/

Image just updated to include the hotfix.

Great, thank you :)
