This pool works just fine. Payments are quick and ok. Its interface too works well. Good job.

Thanks, Bro!

Hi Martychubbs and others.

I have just joined your pool - I own some BTC but have never mined anything. I am just running cgminer off my laptop. Laptop runs Intel Core i7-2670 CPU @ 2.2ghz. RAM = 8GB. Any idea what I should put for my t (thread?) count? I am currently using 8 and getting 8-12 kH/s which is not getting me very far. If I wanted to mine some more Vert, with the option of mining other alts, what sort of equipment should I be looking to purchase? What calculator should I use to see if other options make sense?

Thanks for the help.

At current N-Factor of 2048, any litecoin hardware comparison guide would be a great place to start. Your vertcoin results will be 40-50% of the LTC performance for that particular hardware. And remember, the dev team will actively try keep the coin CPU and GPU only. Once ASIC is available for scrypt, there is no going back. All LTC or "scrypt" clones will be move from GPU to ASIC and those miners will move their GPU's to Vertcoin...so we hope ;-)

Furthermore, thank you for mining. I have set the vdiff very low to make sure you get a share in every block and a chance at the block bonus.

Personally, I find the R9 280x the best card for mining. We have many 7850's, 7950's, 7970's, R9 270x's, 280x's and 290x's. 290x's are hard to work with but kick ass if you can get a bunch of them at a great price. We bought a bunch when they first came out and LTC was like $2. Now, 290x's are hard to find or available at a premium.

Also, this guy Jarred Walton http://www.holynerdvana.com/2014_02_01_archive.html turned me on to VTC when difficulty was like 20...He does awesome work and I credit him for turning me on to Vertcoin.

I will join once I can find a detailed step by step guild for linux to walk me through it, don't want to have my rig down for anything longer than 30 minutes. Please post on here if anyone finds one.

I am not sure of your familiarity with gpu mining on Linux, however, here is the source https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu

I'll look more for you later... Also, we can hop on IRC too on the webchat on the pool.

UPDATE: I raised the tx fee for all payouts to 0.01 VTC. If that bug, then raise your payout threshold. Trying to not charge a pool fee. Plus, block bonus is now 2 VTC.
