Can someone provide some easy step by step instructions to mining Verge on a CPU? Is that even possible? I have a spare laptop that I'd love to put to use to mining this coin. I already own 300K and I'd like to add to that number.
This should help you. Verge and Doge are both Script coins and share a common root. Verge includes many other algorithms as well. You would do much better to buy a miner to get some real hash going on it, very profitable right now although I haven't seen a block all day!
