Gridcoin Introduction
To earn Gridcoin in solo crunching mode you need to run the Gridcoin client and regularly stake or use the MRC (manual reward claim) feature to have somebody else stake for you for a small fee.
If you have not yet installed the BOINC client, you should read the BOINC installation guide to setup BOINC. The BOINC client has to be installed alongside the Gridcoin client in order to verify BOINC account ownership and to access local BOINC statistics.
Optional post-install Gridcoin configuration
If you installed the BOINC client anywhere other than the default installation location, you'll need to specify where you installed BOINC in the gridcoinresearch.conf file.
