Gridcoin-research: superblock #960491 has brought me and others: magnitude zero
Please investigate the reasons and its effects, especially I am interested in what to expect for my earnings. Thx
Only 20% of the whitelisted projects are in this superblock now
Gridcoin 3.5.9.2

The rule number 1: don't stake when your magnitude is much lower than expected. If you have significant balance and want to help securing the network, switch to investor mode. Your rewards will wait.
To switch to investor mode, add boincdatadir=/tmp/nonexistent to your config file.

When you have zero magnitude, you wont stake (#313), switch to investor to secure network and receive interest. Your research reward will wait.

Subcribing.
Same here: it appears I'm at 0 as well. BOINCing SETI and WCG.

Requested update from IRC. Setting PrimaryCPID=INVESTOR does not work, alternatively you can remove email config option. But boincdatadir=/tmp/nonexistent was tested by me and correctly puts the user into investor mode.

we are testing to just uncoment the line with email address to go investor mode
email=rasputin@ubo ot.us just for example

Should there maybe be a GUI for switching between investor/staking? I don't think the majority of users are keen on editing config files... Or would that be a band-aid solution?

@tomasbrod are you sure that staking with a low magnitude would change something? I always thought that the payment is magnitude * magnitude unit integrated over time after you staked your last block.
Please correct me if I am wrong :)
A simplified example on how I think it should work: let's say you have staked 4 days ago, your magnitude in the superblocks since then was 100, 100, 0 (bad superblock) and then 100 again. Then you stake and get (3 * 100 + 0). * magnitude unit = 300 * 0.25 = 225 GRC.

@Quezacoatl1 Please see function ComputeResearchAccrual in main.cpp and my dev wiki .
If you are math-based, the integration is performed using Trapezoidal rule.
