Doesn't work, only booo... with the same configuration i mine doge, i can't mine VTC, why?

did it ever occur to you that Vertcoin isn't doge?
No paws, no fur, no wow!

seriously, you need --algo=scrypt:2048 and later on 4096, 8192, etc...

I am not entirely sure about their N-factor schedule. The original wallet had this schedule:

| N        | Memory | Timestamp   | Date/Time                     |   |
|----------|--------|-------------|-------------------------------|---|
| 2048     | 256 kB | 1389430800  | Sat, 11 Jan 2014 09:00:00 GMT |   |
| 4096     | 512 kB | 1422985232  | Tue, 03 Feb 2015 17:40:32 GMT |   |
| 8192     | 1 MB   | 1448151056  | Sat, 22 Nov 2015 00:10:56 GMT |   |
...

but apparently they have decided to relax the aggressiveness and change it to this more relaxed schedule:

| N        | Memory | Timestamp   | Date/Time                     |   |
|----------|--------|-------------|-------------------------------|---|
| 2048     | 256 kB | 1389306217  | Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:23:37 GMT |   |
| 4096     | 512 kB | 1456415081  | Thu, 25 Feb 2016 15:44:41 GMT |   |
| 8192     | 1 MB   | 1506746729  | Sat, 30 Sep 2017 04:45:29 GMT |   |
...

but I am not aware of any wallet update having been pushed out recently, so the code may still run on the old schedule at the moment.

Huh? So we gotta use 4096 now??

Christian: Can it be that --benchmark shows the correct hashrate and whilst mining I see lower figures, yet the pool perceives it as the hash the bench showed?
I mine at 333kh/s now, stable, when using --benchmark with your settings and my clocks.
When mining at the pool I see cudaminer reports 183-190-174kh/s and numbers all over the place but shares appear one after the other, pretty fast, faster than before. Pool reports 318kh/s.

Edit: dammit, no, pool reports 160kh/s (confused shares with kh/s) hmmm
