1) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Re-joining the GridCoin Project Could Lead to Better Climate Prediction (Message 60856) Posted 24 Aug 2019 by christopherbalz Post: Any updates? There has been a lot of great progress over at GridCoin lately, with a new whitepaper almost done, and much more. I run a full GridCoin node and solo "mine" ("crunch") approximately 24x7, and I can attest that the GridCoin system is working well (and certainly, this is not financial advice!)
2) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Re-joining the GridCoin Project Could Lead to Better Climate Prediction (Message 56456) Posted 24 Jun 2017 by christopherbalz Post: It seems unfortunate that since late 2015, compute contributions to ClimatePrediction.net have not been eligible for GridCoin (a cryptocurrency: https://gridcoin.us/ ) rewards. Seeing as GridCoin is currently worth a non-trivial amount ( https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/gridcoin/ ), although there is no guarantee, perhaps it would be a good idea to re-qualify for GridCoin credits. That's because the GridCoin reward may motivate more individuals to allocate more compute power to CPDN. Here is the list of currently "Included" (eligible for GridCoin reward) and "Past" (not eligible for GridCoin reward) GridCoin projects: https://www.gridcoinstats.eu/project Here is the GridCoin homepage: https://gridcoin.us/ Finally, by supporting GridCoin, CPDN would itself be making a small contribution to reducing some of the causes of climate change: For example, the leading cryptocurrency at this time, Bitcoin, uses quite a bit of electrical power ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5dxhdh/putting_bitcoins_energy_usage_into_perspective/ ) to do only make-work, whereas GridCoin focuses on . . . projects similar to CPDN.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Intel Visual Fortan run-time error (Message 52496) Posted 30 Aug 2015 by christopherbalz Post: Thank you for the informative reply. Luckily, I can still run climateprediction on my Mac, where there are none of these errors.
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Intel Visual Fortan run-time error (Message 52492) Posted 29 Aug 2015 by christopherbalz Post: I would be happy to continue my many years of running climateprediction.net if it would never cause these Visual Fortran errors. Is there a notification that I could receive if this is fixed?
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Intel(r) Visual Fortran run-time error (Message 45994) Posted 20 Apr 2013 by christopherbalz Post: Running Windows 8, all-up-to-date, on an Intel Core i7 machine. This error appears on my desktop, and the window is fixed in the center of my screen (it can't be moved or dismissed). It says: forrtl: severe (17):syntax error in NAMELIST input, unit 5, file C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\climateprediction.net\hadcm3n_3i4l_1980_40_008349372\jobs\climate.cpdc, line 528, position 3. Perhaps it is related to climateprediction.net projects, or generic code that reads the same.
