I've been mining VTC about 2 weeks now and even with the lower VTC/BTC that so many seem to be bashing, I'm still bringing in >0.04 BTC per day, which is about double what I was getting with DOGE. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty happy with nearly paying my rent each month just by flipping a switch on a computer. And if VTC goes where I think it will, I'll pay off a lot more than my rent.

For GPU miners perusing this thread, this is a great coin with longevity that I think is going to come into its own in the next ~6 months as scrypt ASICs come to dominate the mining scene for LTC and it's brethren. Yeah, there is a little bit of a learning curve associated with getting your mining rigs online, but I know pretty much nothing about linux and I was able to get it going in about an hour with the amazing help found on vertcoin.org and this thread, so it's well worth trying it out.

Haters are always going to hate and those in it for the Ponzi-style pump and dump are probably not going to love this coin, and I say good riddance. Keep your GPU's making you money longer with Vertcoin.

Thanks for the positive comments. We are also working at the moment on getting a wiki up to help new miners get set up quickly - the dev who is donating the domain has just been so busy with other urgent VTC dev stuff it hasn't happened yet, but it won't be long. One of the things we really want to get on top of is making the whole VTC ecosystem, from mining, to buying/selling, and using it with merchants as accessible and easy as possible.
