Didn't think there was anything left to mine. Is this the same Vertcoin that came out in 2014? I remember it used slightly more power than Scrypt and scrypt was already pulling like 300 Watts per GPU from the wall.
I remember mining Dogecoin back in 2014 with 2 of these gpus in a single case. The power from the wall was like almost 700 watts with the power meter. And this was only 2 GPUs. These days we got rigs of 5-6 GPUs pulling the same amount of power.
Crazy times.
Yes it's the same coin. But it has forked. It forks away from ASICs. Have been on LyraRev2 and LyraRev3 before. Don't know what algorighm back in 2014. Never the less, it's a great coin. I think you could optimize 79xx GPUs a lot like on Polaris etc. I had an 280x before and that was even profitable in the bear market mining Vertcoin on LyraRev2. I want a HD7950 or such to play with actually. I think it's still profitable on Verthash..
Like mentioned above, it's a bit of history in the crypto space!
