There are several issues:
Number one: pool operators want to hog all the money to themselves. Notice how miningpoolhub.com has exact instructions to mine every other coin, except vertcoin, which just refers you to some forum somewhere, but the hyperlink just loops back to the exact same page.



Number 2: the software is loaded with scammers. Every single brand of software I've used only mines for the writer of the software or it locks up if you enter your own VTC or BTC address.

Number 3: Anyone who is mining it wants it all to themselves, so they sure aren't going to help YOU out. They will intentionally publish non-functioning software that scams all the money to themselves. This is why actual, functioning software is hard to find.

So, there is a war on between the scum and the honest people, as usual, and when you call them on it, you can get accused of overreacting.

I talked to one dev via email, and I asked him to show me (Awesome Miner) how to make his software actually WORK. On various Youtube videos, it was a few clicks, choose a pool, bam, done.

After endless hours of trying everything, I talked to the dev, and he said a new version was coming out "in fifteen minutes."

Sure.

There is a war on against YOU mining with the profitable Lyra2REV2 algo.
