Whats up everyone, noob here. I've recently been researching these alt coins and came across VeriCoin and Verium. It seems pretty straightforward to "mine" VeriCoin. Download the VeriCoin-Qt software, and start staking/mining. But my question is; is it possible/safe to mine VeriCoin through the app with a 2014 Macbook pro 1TB memory? Will it even work/will it damage computer in anyway? Sorry if sounding silly, but whats a forum without noobs like me, am i right?

Staking with VeriCoin on a Macbook Pro would be fine. I would be a little nervous to mine Verium though, Macbooks get pretty hot as is and if the heat sink is clogged (dust & hair) you can damage the CPU in the long run. If the Macbook stays cool with good ventilation you'll probably be fine.

Thank you for the information. Now, my question is. Once I open and start staking, it says "Waiting for network connection" .... "0 connections". I have very high speed internet connect to my computer, so I am not sure why it is saying this? Is there anything I can do for it to connect and start staking (Waited for an hour and still says waiting for network connection).

File -> Reload Blockchain -> Check the box to download the vericoin.conf file. That should resolve that!

You're the man! Got it. It's been an hour since it's working and here's where I am at: I've got 35 connections, my block number is 2089683. My next question is.

My stacked blocks within (hours) says 0, why?
What is a block/what does it mean to be in number 2089683? Do I want a lower or higher number?
Is 30+ connections efficient?
If I closed my computer/stop stacking, is all my progress lost?
What does the interest rate/inflations/network coin staking rate mean? (11% 2% 8%)
