Okay, I've been mining to the VTC pool at multipool.sonofatech.com for 45 hours with very few rejected shares (99.8% acceptance) and my earnings are finally approaching the predicted amount. It's still underestimated, but now the difference is between 0.26 reported vs. 0.34 predicted, rather than 0.003 reported vs. 0.17 predicted... I suspect the long time to find a block at SOAT - around 12 to 16 hours - is partially to blame for the under-reported earnings, and if so, then the estimation should improve the longer I mine there. As a result, I am going to give it another day at least, even though I was planning on switching the mighty GTX 1050 Ti over to mining ZEN this morning.

The situation at give-me-coins.com is even worse: the time between blocks is estimated at 105 hours!?! So while I no longer think there are shenanigans going on at GMC, I also don't want to waste time mining there; 12-16 hours between blocks is already trying my patience as it is.

Hey Magic!

Thanks for trying out our Vert pool! We are fairly new with vert so we do have very few miners. The low miner count was also partially due to the halving, as we lost a lot of miners in that process for one reason or another. We were closer to 8-10 gigahash previously.

I will say, in the defense of ALL Vert pools, this coin has definitely been one of the most difficult to manage pool-wise as it requires a lot of attention/babysitting. Please feel free to reach out to us on our discord with anything you might have questions on! https://discord.gg/pcQJ75C

If there's anything we can do, we'd be glad to try.
